Magic Kingdom on Monday?

[jeffmw]

Taking 2.5 year old and 9 month old to DW Feb. 8-12. We have three full days (Mon, Tues and Wed) and wanted to visit two parks (MK and EPCOT). Our 2.5 year old daughter is obsessed with princesses and the only day we could reserve breakfast at Akershus was Wednesday (Cinderella's is going to be closed), so that became our EPCOT day. We also wanted to put a "break" day between the two park days so we could relax and get the kids rested up, so that would be Tuesday.

That leaves Monday for MK but I'm reading that it's the most crowded day. I was hoping for some feedback here as far as how different it is as far as the crowd and how that will affect us. We're going in early February so we don't anticipate the crowds will be huge, and we're not going to be waiting in a ton of lines, but we still don't want to go on a day when it's going to be too hectic.

Any advice as far as how much busier it will be that Monday vs. the Tuesday and how we could best plan this?

Thanks!

Unless that Monday is a holiday, you should be ok crowd wise.

Monday's usually aren't that bad, mostly weekends or special events

The one thing we were always told by travel agents, is that Magic Kingdom will be the busiest on Monday, during the weekdays. The reason being, everyone arrives in Orlando on Saturday or Sunday. They settle in and go do Disney right away. What place does everyone do first? Magic Kingdom. It is inevitable. I still suspect Monday would be a light day compared to the weekend, in fact I know it is. However, that was just a little tip I remembered, and I always felt Tuesday at Magic Kingdom was lighter.

No US holiday that weekend, so you should be okay going to the MK on Monday. And the weather will be cool. But you can check Touring Plans crowd calendar. Don't know if that is school break time for our neighbors in the Southern Hemisphere....
