Disney4me Posted October 22, 2022 Report Posted October 22, 2022 It’s no secret that Disney World is a busy place, because, well, it’s Disney World! So many people… We keep a close eye on Disney World’s crowds and wait times so you know what to expect when you visit. Holiday weekends and the weeks leading up to the fall and winter holidays are notoriously busy in the parks, but sometimes Disney crowds surprise us…and not always in the best way. Today, for example, crowds are WILD in the Disney World parks! We’ve touched down in 4 parks today and the crowds are everywhere! Let’s take a look. Animal Kingdom We started in Animal Kingdom, which can sometimes be one of the least busy parks — not today! Crowds were already heavy walking into the park. Entrance Crowds They didn’t alleviate once you got inside either. Many people stayed put to figure out where they wanted to go. Inside the entrance If you headed over to Pandora, the lines for both rides were quite long, but since those are two of the most popular rides in the park, that’s not entirely surprising. Pandora Crowds Walkways were especially shoulder-to-shoulder. Where it narrows, people get muuuch closer Expedition Everest was at a 50-minute wait with a line well outside of the indoor queue. Expedition Everest Crowds Quick-service spots like Tamu Tamu Refreshments had some decently long lines as well. Tamu Tamu Refreshments Even DinoLand had pretty intense crowds (especially considering this area of the park can be a ghost town). TriceraTop Spin Crowds Let’s check out Magic Kingdom! Magic Kingdom Magic Kingdom crowds certainly weren’t any better. Cinderella Castle was seeing a lot of foot traffic. Look at all those people! Even less popular spots like The Magic Carpets of Aladdin were seeing lots of people. Look at those crowds! We also saw a pretty long line over at Storybook Treats! Look at that line How were the crowds in Hollywood Studios? Hollywood Studios Hollywood Studios seemed to be the calmest park we saw this afternoon. Sunset Boulevard wasn’t too crowded, fortunately. Sunset Boulevard Some of the stores were a little more crowded than usual, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Store Crowds One of the most populated parts of Hollywood Studios was Galaxy’s Edge. Lots of people! And finally, let’s head to EPCOT! EPCOT Perhaps the worst park for crowds today was EPCOT. Just look at this shoulder-to-shoulder foot traffic in World Showcase! Ummm… guys… it's BUSY at EPCOT today pic.twitter.com/AMUsReTbvD — Disney Food Blog (@DisneyFoodBlog) October 22, 2022 World Showcase was the most crowded part of the park that we saw. Many of the pavilions, like Germany, were filled with parkgoers! Germany Pavilion Crowds The Norway Pavilion was seeing a 110-minute wait for Frozen Ever After! Norway Pavilion Crowds As for the rest of the park, it was a pretty normal crowd day. Soarin’ was seeing a 60-minute wait while Living With The Land had its normal 10-minute wait. The Land Pavilion Crowds And the front of the park was semi-quiet, all things considered.
