One major thing that popped out at me from the report is that it states that the Magic Kingdom park welcomed its 1 billionth (yes, Billionth) guest back in September of 2008!:eek: Was that ever officially acknowledged by Disney? That is a beyond huge milestone that I don't believe any other...

Any news if Magic Kingdom closed early today? It's kind of ironic that nothing has been reported yet considering today is the start of the weekend.

WDW is just mind-bogglingly popular!:D

Wow this is amazing!:eek: Is this a new record? Has the Magic Kingdom ever closed 3 days in a row like this due to capacity before? I really can't wait to see the attendance numbers for 2009! BTW: Please post more pictures please!

Not to mention probably at least an hour, two, or possibly more just to get back to your car... I'm looking forward to seeing how the theme park attendance numbers will be for 2009. (If 2008's numbers ever come out:rolleyes:) I hope somebody will also post pictures if they were in the park...

Does ToT actually drop the entire 13 stories as advertised? I like the random drop sequences, but it sucks if you get stuck with a sequence where the first drop feels like you've only fallen 10 feet. I'd much rather the first drop be the most intense and actually drop the entire 13 stories.

It's hard to imagine WDW ever going bankrupt when you consider how overpriced just about everything is in the entire resort. I would like to know how much profit Disney makes off of the Magic Kingdom parking lot alone... Seriously, $5 for a bag of cotton candy and I see lines of people...

While looking at the WDWMagic News history page I found out that the parade I saw back in January was the "Celebrate a Dream Come True" parade which does look a lot different from this new one but I'm assuming obviously shares the same theme?. Did Disney keep any thing from the "Celebrate a...

Really.:) I enjoyed whatever parade I saw back in January but I honestly thought that Disney was taking the cheap route by just changing up the first float. I think this parade looks great and I can't wait to experience it the next time I'm at Magic Kingdom. BTW: I actually LIKE the party...

I'm confused. I saw a parade in January that I believe was called the same thing but the parade was basically the same as the "Family Fun" and "Share a Dream Come True" parade except for the first float. Is this an entirely new parade or are they still using the same floats as the ones...

I think Disney did a great job with the "premiere party" last night. They did a great job in hyping up the attraction and it was cool to see how many American Idol stars showed up. Disney's Hollywood Studios is supposed to represent a Studio; so I'm not sure how claiming that an attraction...

Well I assume you went on a Monday in January which will change the attendance levels a bit. I just went to MK this past weekend and the park was surprisingly really crowded.

Yup, I just went to Magic Kingdom this past weekend and the park was really crowded. Granted it was a weekend, but for the park to be that busy in January was surprising. It certainly does not appear that WDW is having any attendance problems at all.

That sounds like a great idea that I wish Disney would have used before tearing down every single tree in that area. I didn't even realize that there were more trees that Disney tore down before the central hub until I looked at some old photos I took back in 2001. Main Street looked so much...

I think too much of the castle is visible from Main Street now.:brick: It doesn't seem like there was ever any intentions to view Cinderella Castle completely while walking down Main Street. It would be like Disney tearing down all the trees around the Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom so...

I can understand viewing angle complaints, but why are people complaining specifically about Wishes? Was there any problem with the Fantasy in the Sky fireworks display? I would have thought Disney would have thought more about the park's theming integrity before deciding to fold so quickly...

I think those trees had a great purpose though and really added to atmosphere of that part of the park. I know a lot of people also liked how the lights would sparkle on them at night too. The central hub is just one really big slab of concrete now.

I know it had been done a while back, but I had no idea exactly when and why. I had no idea so much work had been done... And I can't believe Disney did all of that for temporary below average castle stage show.:( The entire central hub looks very awkward now and obviously has looked so for...

What happened to the trees that used to be located in the central hub of the Magic Kingdom right after Main Street? And why did Disney decide to remove them? The trees added a good sense of realism to the castle environment and were used as a good transition and separation from the Main Street...

It appears that the 4 night, 3 day free promotion is working for WDW. It was reported yesterday on forbes.com that hotels bookings are slightly up for the next year... http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2008/12/09/ap5799769.html
