What are the crowds like at MK (and WDW in general) on the 4th of July and around that timeframe?
I love to hear this we check in July 5th to July 14th... really hoping for the lighter side of medium crowds.The last few July trips we showed up July 5th and had really light crowds (EPCOT that morning was a ghost town). If you are there the 3rd and 4th, then yes, you're gonna have much higher crowds.
One thing many are not noting...
July 4, 2020 is on a Saturday.
That means many (most) will have July 3rd as the official holiday, and others may be given Mon. July 6 as their holiday. (Many may take extra days off, too.)
That's has an even greater than usual potential for an extra-busy "holiday weekend."
July is a huge month for large groups vacationing at WDW all getting in line together and such. Friendly folks but huge for the most part. We were used to September but decided FD in July might be fun...uh nope. Too many large groups. Again very friendly people.
What is FD?
The groups of 15's don't usually arrive until around the weekend after the 4th. If you are going before, during, and immediately after the 4th, the 15's aren't usually there then (obviously can't predict the future, but that is the way it has played out in the past). They start impacting the hotels first, like Pop.
Does anyone think July 4th being a Saturday will reach maximum capacity?
