Does the lot need to be full for the park to close? Nope.

 

[Bolt]

Park is reopened.

Seeing reports of DisneySprings traffic being pretty god-awful tonight.

Just went from epcot to magic on the monorail. Epcot parking lot is empty and magic is only 1/2 full. Where is everyone?

I bet these people don't mind the crowds as long as they have fun, right?

I remember sitting at home last Christmas and watching the 'wait times' on my Disney app and being blown away by the times. Then switching over here to see the phase closings. Doing all the same this year, it appeared the crowds, although large, were not as big as last year. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks!

In MK right now. Was ok at opening but pretty crazy at this point. They just announced that the parade will start at 1145 instead of noon.

View attachment 124323 The Magic kindom hub as of 12:15 pm. The Christmas parade was heading to the hub when I took the pic. Like for more pics

Sadly, the first thing that strikes me in this picture is not the crowd. It is the nakedness of the once-beautiful hub. No trees. They used to be so beautiful and twinkling with lights. Now just a crowd on pavement... without a decent sign of Christmas decorations in view either.

As of 11:30, MK is at a phase B closure.

Issues w/ monorails again. Guests on board. Major delays, compounded with high attendance = nightmare.

 

[DHoy]

Parking redirect to Epcot.

@wdwmagic - I think there is a mistake in your phase closing text:

Phase B Closing
No admission of guests with one day tickets, and no re-entering or crossing over from another park unless they have one of the following:

• WDW Resort Guests, including The Four Seasons Resort, Swan, Dolphin or Shades of Green, Hotel Plaza Boulevard hotels arriving by bus (Best Western Lake Buena Vista Resort Hotel, The Buena Vista Palace, DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel, B Resort, Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort, Hilton), Golden Oak residents and guests.
• WDW Premier Passport, Annual & Premium Passholders
• Guests with Park Hopper tickets re-entering or crossing over from another WDW Theme Park
• Guests with Memory Maker
• Guests with dining reservations
• Magic Kingdom Guests with reservations for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, Harmony Barber Shop or The Pirates League.
• FastPass+ reservations and are WDW Resort hotel guests.

The lines in bold seem to contradict each other.
