Do all the parks close to capacity Xmas week?

[PookaJean]

Or just MK....also do they close every day to capacity or just Xmas and NYE?
Does anyone have a historical chart of park closings from previous years to look at? Just trying to figure out what park to do what day. Thanks

The week between Christmas and NYE will have MK closing at capacity a couple of times -- probably not every day, but each year is different, because Christmas falls on a different day each year and the "tourist pattern" is different. It also depends on weather, temperatures, and what else is going on in the world.

MGM has also been known to close at capacity during that week, atlhough it's unusual for Epcot or DAK (simply because of how spread out they both are) to close. There has never been a time where all four parks are closed at capacity at the same time.

There is a website somewhere (that someone will surely come by and post ... ) that has historical info, but don't rely too heavily on that. It can be used as a general guide but, as I said, every year is different.

Last year from Christmas day until New year's Eve MK was closed to capacity by 12pm....and about 4 days another park was closed typically AK but one day it was MGM....

Last year, the week between x-mas and new year seemed to me that the MK was at capacity EVERY DAY. I also thought that AK and MG closed the days we were there. I know AK did. We left the park and no one was allowed to come in at that time. It was VERY jammed. WE had a great time but dh says it is time to go when people try and pass between him and his hands on ds shoulder!!! He really said... "people are trying to walk between me and my arm!!!!"... Now you KNOW it is crammed with people when That happens!! We laughed about that all week.
One cm said "please, abandon all hope of personal space" heehee

This is the typical orde of filling to capacity

MK
MGM
AK
EPCOT is very very RARE (worse case is they dont allow you in till WS opens at 11)
