Walt Disney World is preparing for heavier than usual crowds, with many of the busiest days on the crowd calendar already underway and continuing into March. One indicator of the upcoming heavy crowd levels, is the Disney Park Pass Reservation calendar, which for the first time since the holiday season is showing multiple parks are at capacity for multiple dates.
Crowds are expected throughout this month at Walt Disney World due to the influx of Guests visiting during the Princess Half Marathon weekend, February school vacation week, the long weekend many people take for the Presidents Day holiday, and spring break as we head into March. All of the above events are also following the past week’s crowds at Walt Disney World that were already increased due to national cheerleading competitions taking place at ESPN Wide World of Sports.
A look at the Disney Park Pass Reservation calendar today shows that at least some parks are at capacity for the upcoming week:
The Magic Kingdom is as you may have predicted, the hardest hit in terms of dates selling out, with this Disney Park currently out of Disney Park Pass reservations February 17-24, 2022. Disney’s Hollywood Studios follows, with the park sold out on multiple dates during this time frame, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom is sold out for a couple of days as well.
