guess just to help less those that are upset and help with guest recovery ... though if I was in the area and had nothing to do might as well swing by for a free $50 gift card

The.Cursed.Prince is the name of the Instagram account that leaked the picture, not the name of the movie.

Crap, I still think I'm right about the fire and ice storyline though.

So the fog stayed away for the preview, watched from Poly as we like that better.

Guests Being Turned Away From Magic Kingdom Offered $50 Gift Cards as Park Reaches Capacity

Looking around CBR just now, no bus time displayed for Mk or EPCOT. Wonder if they both closed.

If it is only affecting the people with one day one park tickets, aren’t the one day tickets to mk more expensive than the other three parks? I know I bought my mom a one day for before our cruise knowing we will go to Epcot and it can’t be used at MK. So maybe it’s to make up the difference in ticket cost?

 

[DIS-OH]

Any “guesstimates” on what the crowd size is that triggers the MK closures?

There is no longer a MK versus other parks price for one day tickets. They are all the same price.

not since the recent pricing structure with the tiering pricing based on date - one of the changes that included was that all parks are priced the same, no higher cost for MK

I have seen that total capacity at MK is ~100,000 - but these early phased closures would be triggered before that level is reached, not sure how much before ... I saw one report said Phase 1 is at around 65,000 so phase 2 would be above that

Thanks! That’s in the range I was thinking.

You know Epcot is bad when Gran Fiesta is almost an hour wait.

Im sure Disney has some sort of Algorithm for determine the closure time. I wouldn't be surprised if its something like X% of Capacity vs Operation Hours.

So for Example 70 Percent complete Capacity at 9 am, Start original phase closure and then so forth and so on as people arrive and time passes. I am sure Disney also makes sure the Capacity algorithm allows space for a large Percentage of Bubble Guests.

MK has entered phased closures.
