Looked at wait times throughout the day today and it seems crowds died down a bit? I was surprised for a Saturday

Passholder Blockouts started today.

Passholder Blockouts started today.

But aren't all reservations sold out this weekend still?

So just got back. If that is 35% at Hollywood studios, there is no possibility that park can handle more than about 50%. We actually turned back at toy story land because of the congestion there.

Once again, repeated several times, between not everything being open, lines spaced out everywhere, etc, it feels pretty busy. Especially in a small park like studios that more or less isn’t operating any of its crowd eating shows currently.

That's fine, I'm not going back through the thread. But if you think there is enough unopened stuff at Hollywood studios to cover 65% more people, you are crazy. I found the other parks fine (was able to keep my distance from people and navigate just fine) and can understand that logic at those. DHS was a nightmare, specifically toy story land.

We went over to EPCOT today at 4 to have dinner by dining at the various booths. The booths were not busy but the park felt very busy especially compared to when we were here last November and July. As an aside we were disappointed to find out there is no longer a walk up window at beaches and cream. Also this is the first time we’ve stayed off property when going to Disney. We rented a house in Champions Gate and I had no idea traffic on I4 is really bad. I guess I’ve been pretty spoiled by staying in the Disney bubble for decades, lol.

Remember what that 35% is a percent of. A normal pre covid day with full shows, hotels open, entertainment would have about the same people or up to 50% of capacity. The 35% is NOT 35% of a normal day.

They really screwed up Beaches and Cream.

They really screwed up Beaches and Cream.

I'm confused @durangojim is the walk-up window closed because of covid? When I was there in Feb 2020 (pre-covid) there is a walk-up window for ice-cream.

Yes the walk up window is closed due to Covid protocols.

Yes the walk up window is closed due to Covid protocols.

Thank You!

According to the park capacity recording, Blizzard Beach is at capacity this afternoon and is not admitting new guests.

So what’s the trick to get into Mk on 4/25...

 

[Touchdown]

So what’s the trick to get into Mk on 4/25...

1. Buy a park hopper
2. Book a reservation for another park
3. Go to said park in the morning
4. Hop to the MK at 2pm

Those wait times today when I checked were crazy. Hoping in a month it won't be nearly as busy
