Veterans Day - how busy?

[Bringonthesun!]

Hi all we are here for Veterans Day this year and originally it was a rest day. Are plans have had to change a bit and it looks like we will be at seaworld that day now. How busy can I expect it to be? I’ve tried to find out but get conflicting ideas, one person said Magic kingdom was full by 11am and they had to leave, and other blog said they couldn’t notice much change Has anyone actually visited the parks on Veterans Day that can tell me what to expect? We only get one visit to seaworld so I don’t want to go and the park be too busy to see or do anything and advice much appreciated!

We timed our stay at Universal to be over Veterans Day so we could have early entry and FOLP to beat the crowds. However, Universal Studios was practically deserted and IOA not much busier.

I gather MK was rammed though.

Seaworld and Busch give free entry to service personnel and their families that day so may be busy.

Also watch out for the Food & Wine half marathon weekend and avoid Epcot on that weekend.

Hi we’re there too for Veterans Day, we decided to go to Epcot on that day we will go early then maybe hit a water park in the afternoon!
If not to bad may stay at Epcot for awhile longer.
It might be worth checking the busy day guide in the morning I always find it quite useful

Thank you both! I didn’t know seaworld gave free entry, that’s the park we ended up moving to Veterans Day to fit universal in before our tickets expire. Busy day guide says it’s the least busy park, our only other option is to move animal kingdom, but that is showing as a busy day 😭 what a nightmare!
