Are parks back to full capacity?

[ShellyMouse]

Or are they still at a lowered percentage?
I searched, but didn't find anything very recent.
Thanks for info!!

Disney does not publish capacity numbers so nobody really knows.

I looked today and all parks, all days are green from now until the end of March with the exception of MK on October 1st. I think this supports they've increased capacity but that's just how I read it as it's not a published number.

I do not think there is any way to know. With the reservation system, they can distribute as many reservations per park as they want as long as they don't exceed fire department capacity. MK on the 1st is sold out now, but they have previously added additional reservation capacity for MK on that date multiple times. So "sold out" does not necessarily mean the park is at fire department capacity.

Capacity is hard to figure out. The park can look very full, but with not all rides, restaurants and shows going, you don't have those to hold a large number of guests, so the parks can look more crowded than they really are.
However, Disney has previously said that they would be increasing park capacity. With the 50th coming up quickly, I see no reason not to believe them. By the 50th, I expect them to be at or close to normal capacity.

There are estimations (like the numbers in MK on Christmas Day, etc), but like others have stated nobody really knows. Just be ready for crowds.

Just yesterday I spoke with a guest services manager and she informed me that they are not yet at full capacity, and do not plan to be a full capacity by years end. She would not say what percentage they are operating, but just said not at full.

even before reservations, it was very rare for a park to reach full capacity.

WDW can fix it now so that no one is denied entry at the gate to MK on NYE or other historically ultra crowded days, they just set reservation capacity at a lower number than would be required for the park to close to new entries.
