MK Today: Low Crowds, All Rides Up, Storm In the Afternoon

Advice for 2026-09-14 · Published Sep 14, 2026, 7:15 AM ET

Gawrsh, folks — Magic Kingdom's the best park in the whole resort TODAY, and I don't say that every day. It's sitting at a Very Low 2/10 crowd level with averages around just 16 minutes, and every single headliner's runnin'. Rope drop Peter Pan's Flight (30) or TRON Lightcycle/Run (30), then hit Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Big Thunder Mountain — both around 30 and 25. Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor, the Enchanted Tiki Room, and the Main Street Vehicles are closed though, so skip those. Park closes at 6, so this is an early-and-out kind of day. The afternoon storms are looking like 40%, so grab a poncho and keep an eye on those lines softening near dusk. Yuh-huh, what a day to be in the Castle!
