How many people can fit into the Magic Kingdom?

We were in MK on the Wednesday b4 Thanksgiving, got there early and basically did all that we wanted (BTM-2, SplsMT, SpMtn-2, Buzz) and a few other shows and went into Pecos Bill's around 11:30 to eat lunch. When we came out BAM! I think there were 1,000 strollers parked there. We could barely manage to get out of Frontierland in 20 minutes of navigating. They need a better parking system. People with double strollers were really having a hard time getting around. We stopped at a few things on the way out all attractions had 60-90 minutes wait w. Fastpasses sold out so we left. This was the only day we experienced crowding problems on Thanksgiving week.

Here's my theory on why to not release crowd/capacity #'s: There are a lot of people out there who would be intimidated by hearing of crowds of 50,000 plus and say "no way I'm going to that place - too many people!"
