2014 Walt Disney World parks holiday season updates

Yeah. The wait times don't seem that nuts-that may be why...

Well nothing is outside at the studios but there's still a 45 minute wait for muppets

Maybe because people want to see an indoor movie.
Oh, and at two in the the afternoon, Figment had a 75-minute wait, which is insane. This is how most people might feel about Figment having that long of a wait.

I'm curious what will be open to do there that late. Is the Safari going on still? Do they have stage shows going still?

 

[WDWBryan]

I was at MGM today and the wait times dropped drastically after 4. Think it's the ole half day park thing and most people that got their in the morning had done what the came to do. I was finished around 4 myself but stayed for the lights.

I see that the kingdom is pretty quit now too. Mansion has the 13 minute wait displayed

I agree with you. Nobody ever goes there on New Years, but like Universal, things might change with AVATARLand.

Well that didn't take long. LOL

Just had a friend inform me of magic kingdom reaching capacity. He sounded amazed by this, I of course didn't.

They've begun turning away cars at Magic kingdom

That's normal with Phase A. They redirect to other parks. They distribute parking passes and the meal vouchers in that scenario.

Both epcot and MK parking lots are full according to some Twitter posts.

Fun fact: Epcot has 12,155 parking spots.

Probably the only week where that isn't terribly excessive.

Not counting the Grass Parking or counting it?

Hearing from some friends that Universal/IOA reached capacity, or are greatly slowing down entry to the parks. They also closed the gates for several hours on the 28th and 29th, but the rain kept them from doing so yesterday.
