We get it, it’s spring break, and everyone wants to use that time for a Disney World vacation. The only problem is, EVERYONE wants to use that time for a Disney World vacation!

Magic Kingdom
We never want to tell people NOT to go to Disney World, but we do like to advise that some days might not be the best for the parks. One of those times is spring break. We went to the parks multiple times during the week, and you won’t believe the crowds we’ve seen!
It may not be your Christmas crowds, but you’d be shocked at how busy the park really gets during the week of spring break. It probably doesn’t help that we went to the park that is already always the busiest of the four, Magic Kingdom. Just take a look at the line to get to the entrance of the park!

Spring break line at TTC
The line for the monorail at the Transportation and Ticket Center was just brutal. The ferry wasn’t any better, so it was really just a pick-your-poison situation. You can see how far the line really went for the monorail, and there were still people behind us. It’s been a WHILE since we’ve seen it this crowded.

The line for the monorail is crazy
Once you finally got into the park, Main Street, U.S.A. was even WORSE! We were basically shoulder to shoulder with people as we made our way towards the castle. Everyone loves getting pictures on Main Street, but it’s too difficult in the mornings to do so with crowds like this.

Of course, a busy park means longer wait times for attractions. You have TRON Lightcycle / Run and your Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, which are always longer wait times, but just extra long during this time. However, even the smaller attractions get surprisingly long…like Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor.

The line starts here at Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor
Be honest, have you ever seen a line like this for this attraction? We haven’t — at least not for a long time!

Look how long the line is!
Lines for classic rides like Pirates of the Caribbean can sometimes get long, and we get it. It’s a super popular fan favorite attraction, but this is just nuts!

Look at the line for Pirates!
If ride lines with seemingly lower wait times daily are getting this long, just imagine the more popular ones! Even Lightning Lane was pushed back.
