Magic? Kingdom. Like anytime during the holidays, Disney is especially busy and crowded. Especially being grossly understated. Just imagine how wonderful it would be to be in the most magical place on earth, at the absolute most festive time... Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Eve. Well, you wouldn't be alone.... You and 100,000 other people... with the same idea. Years ago, a typical normal day in the park use to be around 35,000 - 40,000 people... during busy times 55,000 to 60,000. In recent years the numbers continue to grow so that just about all days are busy and Magic Kingdom would occasionally stop admitting guests.
So now, you spend more money than ever to go top Disney, and during holidays, like New Years Eve, the park will stop admitting guests, and crowds will reach 100,000. Every place it crowded, many times elbow to elbow... And you will wait in line for everything. Rides, attractions, food, even something to drink. 240 - 300 minutes for the most popular.
Magical and spectacularly special vacation? ... entirely depends on your perspective.
Today.... New Year's Eve... Magic Kingdom stopped admitting guest by 11:35 am. But Disney is handing out $50 Disney gift cards.... as compensation.
If you were fortunate enough to get in... I'm not sure how much of a magical experience you and your family will have.
But, it is what it is.
Personally... I'd plan my vacation for a better time.
