nye park closing due to capacity

[DizMom11]

I know wdw has several times had to close it's park due to capacity limit. We are planning a quick last minute trip to Universal 12/30 - 1/2, stayin at the RPR. Do Universal parks close on these high volume times also? Is there any advantage staying onsite if the parks do close early? Thanks

Neither park has closed due to reaching Capacity. Ever.

There will be long lines, even if you stay onsite. Still, it's a very festive time. IMO, NYE is the BEST (despite the insane amounts of people) day to work at/play at the parks.

Don't know if they ever had to close due to capacity but the advantage to staying onsite is that if it does happen then your so close that most likely you will already be in the park and a big plus is the front of line passes that you get when you stay onsite that when wait times are long you will be able to get on the rides faster than just waiting around cause when the lines get to be 45 to 60 mins long your glad you have them.

Thanks for the info. It puts my mind at rest! We were thinking of doing one day at WDW, but probably won't now.

We have been there on nye and they actually want to go over capacity. A few years ago when we went, they were about 6,000 over capacity. I don't think they really care. Better for all of us
