I'm guessing without since those are subject to change based on how well guests park.

I'm not surprised, considering it's New Year's and all...
Wow, that's a lot. On an average non-crowded day, it could have room for every guest group with a car.
Going back to Disney, can anyone let us know the current wait times? And if anyone's there, can we see some pictures of how the queues look?

Animal Kingdom extended their hours to 10 PM today.
Phase A (or any other phase) and the closing of parking lots are two separate decisions that just happen to mostly coincide. With Phase A they don’t automatically close the lot, but they will often turn away guests that have 1D1P tickets or haven’t bought tickets yet.
According to my mouse on the inside the MK or Epcot lots are not at capacity but restricted access. (The MK lot will likely be closed soon – and probably remain so for the rest of the day.)
I took the Disney route to work this morning and at 11:30 there were still people being let in to park at MK but the road was backed up past Osceola Parkway and past Caribbean Beach on Buena Vista. All the MK busses were going Bonnet Creek into the park.

I'll see if I can get a lead!

I just would like to know where they put 90 minutes of people waiting for The Haunted Mansion and Pirates, and 45 minutes of people for Philharmagic!

I also wonder if the Peter Pan 150 min wait backs up into frontierland or where that goes as well. I mean the regular queue would fill up at 60 minutes, let alone 150

Remember with the FP+ on nearly every ride nowadays the queues do not have to be that insanely long when you are only letting in a few stand-by guests at a time.

220 Minutes for Test Track currently! Yikes. I wish I was there... not to ride anything... but just to take pics of all the extended queues and crowds. I'm obsessed with crowd control and queuing.
Do people really wait 190-220 minutes???? It just seems illogical to waist 1/4 of your day standing in a line.
Ya, I would rather people watch for 220 minutes and have a few beers. Bound to be a few high grade melt downs by some kids, which makes for great entertainment.

Does Disney have some type of contingency plan in the event of an emergency and crowds rush for the gates? Heaven forbid something happen like that, but if it did and that many people were On MSUSA....

Inside mouse says bus transportation to/from Epcot is backed up, in some cases up to an hour. So if you can get to Epcot via monorail or boat you might want to opt for that.
Here are some wait times for there:
210 – Soarin
190 – Test Track
130 – Mission Space Orange
120 – Spaceship Earth
100 – Mission Space Green
70 – Living with the Land
60 – Journey into Imagination, Seas
45 – Captain EO, Gran Fiesta, Turtle Talk, Character Spot
Down – Ellen

HELL NO!!! They can't even clear it out after a parade or fireworks, there is no way if there was something major to get all those people out quickly.
