Wed 8th April Magic Kingdom closure (Updated: phase 3 as of 12pm)

[wdwmagic]

Just an update for anyone heading to the parks today.

Wed 8th April MK phase 2 closed at 11am. This means Resort guests, Annual Passholders and guests hopping from another park are still allowed entry, but others will be denied.

WOW! What is going on over there? Is it ususally like this around April?

 

[FigmentJedi]

If it keeps up like this, it's going to be an absolute nightmare in May.

If someone forced me to be in WDW this week, I would go to EPCOT (specifically World Showcase) and stay there all week. The MK is NOT worth those crowds.

My brother/sister-in-law/3 1/2 y.o. niece are checking into the Poly this morning. They've been to Disney before, but are not savvy veterans. We all went with my niece last May. I hope they make out okay. She's too young for most rides anyway and really just cares about meeting characters. And I suspect they'll be happy just lounging around the pool most of the afternoon, which in itself will probably be packed.

I've been in the MK on Thanksgiving and worked there on New Years Eve. DO. NOT. WANT.:lol:

I was in World Showcase in November during Food and Wine and you could not move. I'd never seen crowds like that - anywhere.

This is not a good time for rookies. Wonder if the park will go phase 4 again? Have to check this out after work tonight and see how this develops.

Crazy! I'm glad I didn't go for my birthday now. :lol:

Oy vey. Must be a blast. At least you get to see the NYE fireworks for EPCOT

What's bad during times like this, is that Disney loses a lot of repeat business.

Almost everyone who I've ever talked to, who made a first trip to WDW during a peak time, was turned off and vowed never to return again.

But, those crowds will keep the stock propped up through this tough time.

Just gone to Phase 3 at the MK as of 12pm.

 

[Auroragirl]

Looks like Phase 4 is within reach...again. :dazzle:

 

[PhilharMagician]

Wow, and the weather is cold for this time of year. What the hell is going to happen next week? :hammer:

 

[PhilharMagician]

What time did MK go Phase 4 yesterday?

 

[wdwmagic]

Been emailed by a few people that Epcot is stacked, not closed, but very very busy. All Soarin' FPs gone by 11am.
