Something strange happened in EPCOT on Christmas Day!
EPCOT on Christmas
Generally, crowds in Disney World were a bit weird early in the morning on Christmas, and Individual Lightning Lanes didn’t fill up nearly as quickly as you might have expected. But on top of that, we spotted a long line at an unexpected attraction.
Ever wondered just how bad Christmas Day crowds are in Disney World?
Magic Kingdom
We were in the parks on Christmas Eve 2022 and shared a look at the shocking crowds on that day, plus we’ve been motoring crowds all this week. But today, Christmas Day 2022, we made our way to both EPCOT and Magic Kingdom to see whether the crowds would make us cringe or scratch our heads. So now, join us for a virtual trip around the parks to see what you should expect on a big holiday!
Happy holidays, DFB readers!
Crowds
We’ve been in the parks this week bringing you updates on crowds from the parks and Disney Springs, and no surprise here — it’s REAL busy!

Crowds
We’ve seen some seriously big crowds in Disney World (particularly on popular event days, like the start of an EPCOT Festival). But sometimes crowds have been surprising — slightly less than what you might expect. So just what are the crowds like during the week leading up to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day? We’re taking you with us to Disney World to give you an honest look at the crowds so you know what to prepare for!
Rides close from time to time — bad weather hits, electronics need to be tinkered with — we get it!
Disney World, are you okay?
But last week was an unusually unlucky week for Disney World, and if you were visiting you might have gotten caught up in it.
Can you believe NEXT WEEK is Christmas?
Hollywood Studios Christmas Decorations
Even with just a week until Christmas Eve, Disney hasn’t slowed down with their special holiday deals for anyone who needs last-minute gift ideas. Time is also running out to grab special holiday treats and drinks around the property. The closer the holiday gets means the busier Disney World gets, which is why if you’re heading into Disney Springs this weekend — BEWARE!
Can you believe we’re over halfway through December?!
Christmas in Magic Kingdom
It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating Halloween and watching holiday decorations go up in the parks. Now, we’ve already celebrated with huge gingerbread displays, tons of holiday treats, and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. With the holidays comes big crowds — so what do the wait times look like during the week before Christmas?
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
