Magic Kingdom at capacity for regular dated tickets?

I'm confused about this article.

It says: Magic Kingdom is now at capacity for regular dated theme park tickets from December 24 through December 31. Regular ticket holders must choose a different park to start their day between Dec. 24 and Dec. 31.

My Sorcerers pass is blocked out for Christmas, so I bought 3-day tickets (no park hopper) starting December 25.

My understanding is that date based tickets do not need reservations. If Magic Kingdom is already at capacity for December 24-31, does that mean i can't go to Magic Kingdom at all??

I can’t understand it either.

So far the Incredipass is now blocked out for reserving Christmas Day Dec 25.

The article continues on…

Alongside the Passholder reservation fill-up, Magic Kingdom is now at capacity for regular dated theme park tickets from December 24 through December 31.

That means guests holding a standard date-based ticket for any day in that range can no longer select Magic Kingdom as their starting park.

???

I can understand your dismay. Where this news is coming from? It seems really odd that WDW would sell date based tickets for Christmas week only to turn around and say they are not valid at MK. Hopefully tomorrow someone can explain what is going on here.

Is WDW trying to say unless you bought a ticket specifically for MK that week, you cannot enter until 2pm? I’m not finding anything on Disney’s site though.

The article is confusing… if AP is blocked from reserving MK, and Regular date based tickets “must choose a different park to start their day between Dec. 24 and Dec. 31” then , who CAN go to MK?

I don't understand how these date based tickets work.

If you have a ticket that requires a reservation, December 24-31 is blocked out.



But for these date based tickets, you can still buy a multi-day ticket and it does not say anything about not being able to enter Magic Kingdom. You can even still buy a 1-day ticket to Magic Kingdom for December 27, but not December 25.
