Quick calendar overview of when it will be crowded in December 2016
  • December 1-16 - December begins with relatively light crowds before the peak holiday crowds arrive. Many people discuss the effects of Pop Warner crowds (football and cheerleading/dance competition) which usually takes place the first week of December. Pop Warner crowds seem to impact the people sharing a resort with the competitors (usually at Value or Moderate resorts, never Deluxe) more than a noticeable feel in the parks. However, as people are eliminated from competitions, they often do head to the parks to spend time so any influx will be more noticeable toward the middle or end of the week as opposed to the beginning.
  • December 17-31 - very busy time at Disney World as people spend their days off of work/school to vacation at Disney World for the holidays


Extra Magic Hour is a service that Walt Disney World offers to their hotel guest, on certain days guest may enjoy extra magic hours in either the morning 1 hour before the park opens to the general public, or in the evening for 3 hours after the park closes to the general public. In the calendar, I noted which park has the extra magic and weather its in the evening or morning.

The number at the bottom of everyday is  a crowd prediction calendar based on 10. 1 is empty no lines for most rides, shorter wait for the larger rides, and 10 is every ride will have a line. With that said, which park to visit with the smallest crowd?  That brings us to the next line on our calendar

Under the crowd level you will see MK EP HS and AK, these stand for the parks. MK is Magic Kingdom, EP is Epcot, HS is Hollywood Studios, and AK is Animal Kingdom. Each day they are listed in order of which parks we think are the best to visit (parks listed before the /), the parks that will probably have OK crowds are listed between the / /, and finally any park listed after the // will probably be the most crowded of all the parks that day and isn't really recommended.

*Please note hours, ride clousure are subject to change without notices, its best to check Disney World website before traveling for the latest information, crowd calendar is based off of pass crowd levels during the same time, plus how full the resorts are booked up.
