Martin Luther King Jr. Day, or MLK Day, is a federal holiday dedicated to the memory and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The holiday is meant to fall around the Civil Rights icon's birthday Martin Luther King Jr. Day brings in a large number of Guests to the Disney Parks. As a bank holiday, and a day that children are off school, it provides the perfect opportunity for families to visit the parks and have an extended weekend getaway. The rise in crowd levels not only stems from those traveling to Disney, but also from the locals. Most dates, Magic Kingdom is open from 9 am until 11 pm.

The Walt Disney World Marathon will occur January 8-12, 2025 and will be held live and in person. If you’re doing the WDW Marathon or any other race and need last-minute “training” “advice” (air quotes around both), see our Idiot’s Guide to runDisney. Normally, there’s a “holiday hangover” for a couple of weeks at Walt Disney Disney World Crowd Calendar Our Disney World Crowd Calendar helps you find the best times to visit Disney's theme parks in 2025.
