When to Visit

Magic Kingdom is Disney's most popular park all year round, so it can be tough to figure out when is the best time to go. Luckily, that is what TouringPlans does, and we do it well!

We monitor wait times at Magic Kingdom every day of the year. Check the Crowd Calendar to see what wait times will be like on the day of your visit. Crowd Levels vary a lot depending on when you choose to go. We update our wait time forecasts regularly, too, so make sure you track dates to be notified when crowd levels change.

Special Events at Magic Kingdom

Throughout the year, Magic Kingdom hosts many Special Events that can be fun, plus some that need to be avoided if you don’t like crowded theme parks. After you choose which week to visit, you still need to know what’s going on at the park to make sure you’re ready for the magic.

Fall at Magic Kingdom is 'party' season. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a spooktacular evening event that requires a separate ticket in early fall. Once November arrives the theme switches to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Similar party – different decorations – just as fun!
