Disney4me Posted September 5, 2022 Report Posted September 5, 2022 Happy Labor Day, everyone! Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Line on Labor Day Labor Day can bring heavier crowds to Disney World, just like many three-day weekends throughout the year do. However, many schools up north don’t return to school until after Labor Day weekend, meaning that some families are still taking end-of-summer vacations up until the end of Labor Day. Recently we’ve seen a dip in crowd levels at Disney — will Labor Day bring them all back? Come with us to find out! We went into the parks today to scout out how this year’s Labor Day crowds are looking. Let’s see what’s going on in each of the parks! Magic Kingdom As we entered Magic Kingdom, we noticed that we weren’t shoulder-to-shoulder with other guests like we have been on past Labor Day holidays. Not only that, but we were able to make it into the park pretty quickly today! Labor Day crowds in Magic Kingdom Even as we walked down Main Street, U.S.A., we weren’t running into anyone or having to reroute ourselves in order to avoid crowds. We happily sauntered our way down to Cinderella Castle to take it all in! Labor Day crowds in Magic Kingdom We thought that maybe this was just an early morning fluke, but as we made our way further into the park we were happy to see that there were still no large crowds to be seen.

Labor Day crowds in Magic Kingdom Not only that, but wait times have been SERIOUSLY low throughout the day in Magic Kingdom, too. Check out this screenshot our reporter took of wait times a couple of hours after the park had been open! ©Disney So, what did Labor Day crowds look like in the other Disney World parks?! EPCOT We saw much of the same crowd levels at EPCOT throughout the morning, and didn’t find ourselves facing bottlenecking in certain areas like we sometimes see in EPCOT. Overall, we were able to roam about as we pleased.

When we passed by, there wasn’t a single soul nearby vying for a spot to sit down! EPCOT Labor Day crowds This is honestly a little shocking considering the busy travel weekend Orlando International Airport saw. According to Fox 35 Orlando, a whopping 764,600 people were expected to travel through the airport this weekend, and WESH reported that more than 100,000 are expected to pass through MCO today alone. We’ve seen pretty high Labor Day Weekend crowds at Disney World in the past, but so far today things have been pretty quiet. We’ll be monitoring crowd levels and wait times in the parks all Labor Day long so be sure to check back here for the latest updates.
