Magic Carpets of Aladdin will be closed
January 25 - February 3rd, 2016 for refurb.

Magic Kingdom is at its first phased closure of the season at Phase A which really doesn't affect many.

I wish they'd announced a new ride for DLP's 25th, but I guess they are doing enough by fixing all the stuff that has been neglected for so many years prior to Disney becoming the primary owner.

Indeed, they had to just get back to square one. You're right that they do need to build more though. Star Wars Land and the Marvel Attraction seem like a no brainer in Walt Disney Studios. It's only a matter of time really.

I was there yesterday. It was pretty crowded. This makes sense. I now believe without a doubt that MK is the world's number one theme park.

I agree. I wish that it was Disneyland but then I'm not surprised that MK is at the top.

I also want to wish everyone happy holidays!

Sadly...Star Wars did NOT set the Wednesday record...

I mean...all the other movies above it were premieres...but they still should be ashamed.

Hopefully the stockholders will take solace in that they will be between 900- and one billion dollars by Sunday...

Consolation prize.

Yeah, it's a shame. At least it was in the top ten.

This one down here is a link to all the non opening daily records. SW already has two out of the four. They should sweep.

I just bought tickets from Undercover Tourist. I wonder if they will be affected and still honored. Since we are going during Spring Break, a fairly high crowd time, I am assuming they won't be.

Some kind of altercation/incident went down at Disney Springs. Can't nail down solid details....reports on Twitter say various things. Guests were evacuated earlier and are now being let back into the area. Some people saying they heard gunshots....not confirmed.

Fistfight led to Disney social media going nuts. No shots fired. People just overreacting.

Confirmed from Orange Co. Sheriff.....No gunshots. Fistfight that got out of control. Situation has been handled and people took to social media to overreact. Glad it wasn't as bad as people mistakenly thought.

Actually, it did set a record for Non-Opening Wednesday.
