Probably not- they were given access to a park. They chose to leave. WDW held up their end of the deal
That's pretty much how I view it myself. Was just seeing if I could stump mesa.

Resort guests go to MK in the morning, leave for a break, and return to a closed, at-capacity park. They do not have park hopper tickets. Will Disney upgrade them to go to another park?
These type of guests also have priority to enter that same park, but can still be shut out in the final phase of closing, where no one gets in. They will not be upgraded to a hopper per se, but would be allowed to finish that day at another park.
Gotta do better than that.

Yeah, that's why I had this made up scenario in my mind that they would close to outside guests before real capacity was reached.
Would WDW parks really turn away their own resort guests?
They do have staged closures:
Stage 4 - Nobody is allowed in.
As a Disney resort guest you are only guaranteed access to A park.Not neccessarily the park of your choice.If MK hits a phase 4 closing, NO ONE gets in.Including those with pre-paid dining, and YES you can be charged as a no show.
I'd think the 4th of July might be the only day in that area where there could be issues, and then only with Magic Kingdom.
At a stage 4 there are no exceptions made. No restaurant reservations. Nothing. And yes, it counts as a no-show for credit card holds or prepayment. But as noted Stage 4 enclosures are rare. Bike Week is not going to cause one, nor did Mardi Gras.
Was wondering if they typically later on in the evening reopen the park to returning guests or once it's closed it's closed?
We're going Easter week and trying to figure out if we could leave in the afternoon and return after dinner for parade? Or do we have to stay all day in make sure we don't get shut out later?
We are not staying on site, do not have park hopper tickets and would be returing to the same park (magic kingdom)
I know that once when we were at Magic Kingdom on during easter week they did close because when we were leaving after lunch they said we might not be able to get back in.
