Park at Full Capacity & PS

[Mark P.]

Hi
If a park is at full capacity, will we be allowed in with our PS confirmation #?

Yep, we're going during Easter week

Thanks,
Mark

No, but if it was a meal where you had to pay a deposit you can go to guest relations to get a refund.

WOW.. I did not know that. I would had thought they would let you in. Thanks for the heads up!

If you get to the park early, you won't need to worry about it. I think that if you're at another park before you PS reservation, you can ask a CM and they can tell you if the park you're heading to is at full cap.

Just an idea...I think we went thru this on our first trip.

I see your question relates to Easter. We're also going for the 7 days leading up to Easter. We've never been at any time other than January. Is it likely to be so crowded that Easter week that they will be closing parks? If so, is there any number to call before we drive in (we're staying off site)to find out about closures or do we just take our chances? Any other closure tips?

Along a similar line, i think i read somewhere that if you are a resort guest that you still get in after capacity is full. Is this true?

If you are a WDW resort guest you are guaranteed to get into ONE park. Not necessarily the park of your choice. I guess at the gate of the closed park a CM can tell you which park will accept you. AND, you must be using WDW transportation because the parking lot will not let you park. You must enter via the resort buses. I personally would ask at guest relations are your resort if you decide to go back to a park in the evening. But maybe the bus drivers may know and they can take you straight to the WDW resort guest park that is available.

We live in central florida. Every Easter my neice and nephew visit us from out of state. Last year I bought them annual passes for the water parks and Disney Quest. When we arrived at BB (around 11AM) they had the entrance blocked and a sign that said both TL and BB were filled to capacity. So we went to DTD for the afternoon instead. The next day we arrived at BB 30 minutes before opening. We got into the park, picked our spot and headed to the family slide. There was a 20 minute wait already. By the time we got back to our spot the place was packed. We discovered that once the park reached capacity the only people able to get to the entrance to wait for admission were those on Disney buses.

Our family goes to MK every year for Christmas day. 2 years ago we arrived after 10 am. They were already re-routing traffic to Epcot to park. Our PS for Crystal Palace was at 1PM. When we got to the monorail the CM at the bottom of the ramp informed all of us that MK had reached capacity. We decided to take our chances. By the time we switched to the MK monorail and it got us to MK, we were permitted entrance. We made our PS.

That is interesting to know.

We are going Wednesday just aft easter and have been informed it will be reallt busy.

We have arranged PS for every evening and are staying on site with the dinning plan.

What would happen if the park is totally full and we have the PS with the dinning plan.

we have a 3 year old and as normal 3 year olds will not wait patientally.

It doesn't matter if you have the dining plan or not.

When the parks are at capacity, they're not going to let you in. Sorry!
