How to plan January 1
Our forecast puts Animal Kingdom as the calmest park that day and Magic Kingdom as the busiest. If you can choose, spend the day at Animal Kingdom and save Magic Kingdom for a lighter date. If you have to do Magic Kingdom, be at the gates for rope drop and ride the headliners first. Disney lists 1-day, 1-park tickets from $184 before tax for this date (price as of Nov 3). Disney prices by date, so a higher price usually signals a busier day. Crowd levels are Rope Drop News forecasts and can change as the date gets closer.
