Least crowded day at MK?

Does anyone know what day specfically during the week is the least crowded at the Magic Kingdom? I thought perhaps it was Tuesday but not certain. Any idea?

This is some info I found while I was researching park attendance back in September 2011. While not specifically saying which day at MK is the least busy, it does eliminate a number of days Smile No guarantees on accuracy and I am sure it varies, but I used it to some degree as a guide, along with lots of other info I found.

  • Mondays are the busiest weekday in the Magic Kingdom
  • Magic Kingdom is usually busiest on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays
  • Studios sees crowds that are much busier than usual on weekends
  • You may also notice slightly higher crowd levels at Animal Kingdom early in the week on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays

I am curious if anyone has ever noticed what I always call the "Sunday Morning Lull." I feel like later in the day Sunday can still be busy, but I've had several lovely jaunts into the MK on Sunday mornings. I think it's because lots of people are leaving that day, and their replacements don't get to the parks until later in the day. Or maybe it was just coincidence?

No I notice the same Brad. We usually always get there Sunday Morning, check in, and head right to the MK. Crowds are usually pretty low if we get there before noon, but by afternoon/evening they can get crazy!

Great info! We have always gone on Wednesdays and for some reason have never had any problems with it being "too" busy! So we have been doing that for the past 8 years!

We've never experienced it on Sundays. We usually don't arrive till Sunday afternoon, and if we do have a season pass.... we usually end up at Epcot anyways since its opened the latest, or we head over to DTD.

We have been there on Sundays and didn't find it to be too crowded but when we go in May its not too crowded anywhere.
We usually go on Sunday and then again Wed or Thurs.

That's probably pretty logical. I remember for our honeymoon or last day in the parks was a Sunday and we did MK in the AM and it was dead, dead, dead. We left around noon to nap and then when we went back to the park at night it was packed.
