It's just begun! Can't wait to see the insanity!
So far, no insane waits yet except at the major attractions...

Given posted wait times it could be an interesting day.

4.5 hours for Avatar. 4.5.

At what point do people say it's just not worth it?

TriceraTop Spin is only 5 minutes! Youre technically still flying around on a reptilian like creature, sans the 4.5 hour wait! Its pretty much just like FoP! lol

I guess they can spend all that time in line looking for an FoP FP+, I hear you can get two in one day if you look hard enough.

And yet magic carpets of Aladdin was at 70mins....How, what and why?? It's the same ride??

As of 11:45am all parks are open as normal.

We are in MK now, currently at Splash. Lots of people (especially at the parade) but it has been a very manageable day so far BUT WE SURE ARE GLAD WE HAD FOUR FAST PASSES (thanks to last nights 8:30 Rivers of Light being canceled)

Just by looking at the wait times on MDE, it seems the parks are pretty busy.

FYI, I kinda hijacked a thread over here: https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/pics-of-park-crowds-this-weekend.936743/

I'll dump some pictures of Epcot in this thread later if it's allowed.

Magic Kingdom currently closed to some guests due to reaching capacity

WS is not too bad. Crowded but very walkable without running into people. I'm a fast walker too and haven't had issues. Oh, the Land wasn't bad at 1130am. Plus I think they were playing the old music loop.
The following images range from 1130am to 1pm.

Clickable thumbnails. Sidenote, the Pixel 2 (XL) camera really blows me away. They were taken while walking so there may be some blurring. Ah it's just image compression when uploading here.

When was the last phases closing? Seems it’s been a while? That fake park capacity due to NFL seemed to be working for a little bit.

As of 1:20 pm Magic Kingdom has reopened to all Guests.

Animal Kingdom is pretty busy. Only Bug, Spin, and whirl are less than an hour. Hopping to MK now and passed lots of people at the gate and security bag check.

When the tickets go to $150.00 and they let in 100 more people

Woah. I hope they all used the bathroom before riding...however, both dropped to 180 minutes as of this writing.
Strangely enough, FEA has a lower wait than TT: 95 minutes vs 110. Figment and the shorts thing have short waits (10 for the former and 5 minutes for the latter), but it's a 25 minute wait for Turtle Talk. WHAT?
Toy Story Mania is the current second-longest wait, at 150 minutes. What is going on at HS today?
And here's something odd: an 115 minute wait for Jungle Cruise. What's going on over there?

Last time this happened was on 12/31/2016 (and lasted until 9:00 PM THAT NIGHT).
