PHOTOS: Here’s What A Busy Day Looks Like At Disney World in 2021

It’s a long weekend for most vacationers and that has brought some crowds to Walt Disney World!

Magic Kingdom

Over Presidents Day weekend (and Valentine’s Day), we were in the parks with higher crowd levels then we’ve seen so far in 2021. And, while today there aren’t as many people in the parks, it’s much busier than normal for a weekday at limited capacity.

It was a busy day over at Magic Kingdom! There were pockets of crowds throughout the park so, depending on where we were, we could catch a little break from crowds.

But, when it came to lunch, there were long lines for mobile order pick-up throughout the park. Over at Pinocchio Village Haus, the line was out the door and around the corner.

And it was a competition to see which you’d wait longer for — food or a ride. Splash Mountain had quite a line, with a wait of 95 minutes when we passed by.

And, “it’s a small world” had a line backed up to the Tangled bathrooms.

There were lines everywhere — even for the bathroom!

EPCOT

EPCOT might have drawn even more of a crowd than Magic Kingdom for the holiday weekend. There were heavy crowds around the World Showcase, and this was what it looked like when we passed through the Mexico Pavilion.

The line to get into the Mexico Pavilion looped around, and even the line for the Frozen Ever After went far into the neighboring pavilion.

Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom was the lightest when it came to crowds. When we entered the park, there weren’t many people around.

But once we ventured into the park and through Pandora — The World of Avatar, we started to spot more crowds and long lines.

But, really there was quite a bit of space to spread out in the park.

Disney Springs

Disney Springs on the other hand had a lot of people just trying to get in from the parking garage. The line for the temperature and security checkpoint spanned back and forth throughout the garage.
