Disney at Capacity vs Dining

[xipetotec]

Here's an interesting question... During the holidays, when the park reaches capacity...

What if I have an ADR ? Am out out of luck? Or will they let us in in that case?

WDW uses a phased closure system. Guests with ADRs can get in for all except the last, I believe.

Yes, onsite guests and those with ADRs are among the last to be denied entry. That would require a Phase 4 Closure, and that rarely happens.

If guests are using single day tickets, an adr might be the only thing allowing them park access during a phased closure.

On site guests and AP's are allowed in up until a full phase 4 closure. That's when no one else is allowed in. For people with ADR's that are not on site or AP's, an adr will get you in still during at least a phase 3, possibly even a phase 4. I can't remember if it extends to phase 4 but I want to say it goes until 3.

Wdw had only reached a phase 4 a few times since being open, so it's unlikely it gets that packed. So you don't have much to worry about with an ADR during busy times

this talks about park closer and has a nice graph at the bottom.
