Hi, According to another website I checked, the least crowded park on Christmas Eve is expected to be Epcot, and on Christmas Day, Epcot and MGM. Of course, least crowded is almost a joke during Christmas week, as every park will reach capacity or near-capacity.
If you're visiting Disney World during the holidays, and tackling all that entails, including crowds and higher prices, then a Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party may make sense for you. Especially if this is your only visit to Walt Disney World. Here are a few reasons we think this party may be a good idea.
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is an event with a limited amount of tickets. That means that the Magic Kingdom will never be as busy during a party as it will on the crowded day. That said, the nature of the party means that crowds will be concentrated around the events, especially the parade and fireworks.
As previously mentioned, the winter holidays are one of the most expensive times of year to visit Disney World, and the week of Christmas and New Year's is typically the priciest period to visit. July Fourth, Thanksgiving, Halloween, and other federal holidays are also going to be more crowded and expensive.
Can you swim in December? Even though it may be too cold to swim in December where you live, at Disney World the pools are heated which means even if the air is a bit chilly, the pools are still a comfortable temperature. In addition to the pools at the resorts, at least 1 of Disney's 2 water parks will remain open.

We're here to tell you: you can have a great trip at Christmas. It will be different from a trip in the off-season, and the crowds will be huge, but there are some nice compensations, like lots of shows and holiday parades, special fireworks displays, longer park hours and beautiful decorations.

Meanwhile, travel agents have pointed to higher ticket prices as a major factor in declining theme park attendance. On top of that, trips to Europe appear to be cannibalizing demand for domestic theme parks this year — likely both contributing to the downturn.
As happens every year around this time, crowds are starting to fall before Fall 2023 at Walt Disney World. This wait times report covers data for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom.
December is one of the busiest times of year for Disney World, and, as such, sees the highest average ticket prices. The most expensive day to visit Disney World at the end of the year is, again, not a surprise, the period of time right before Christmas until New Year's Eve.
If you're looking to plan a Disney World vacation, there's a wide range of prices available to you. For a family of three or four, you'll probably want to assume you're spending at least $3500, with $5000-6000 being a comfortable amount, and $10000 being enough to make anyone's dreams come true.
Magic KingdomSometimes, Fridays are even busier than Saturdays! But if you want that lower-crowd experience, just swap your Magic Kingdom park day to a Tuesday.
