Holidays Phase Closing watch 2017/2018

[disnyfan89]

Wow, those are some crazy wait times. Space Mountain 3+ hour wait for a 10 min ride, Rockin Roller Coaster over 2 hr wiat for a 1.5 min ride, Jungle Cruise almost 1.5 hour wait for 8 min ride, Fo P 5 hour wait for a 6 min ride, Seven Dwarves Mine Train almost 3 hour wait for a 3 min ride. With the current ticket prices IMO I don't think its very cost effective unless you love paying to standing in lines.

A ride's value isn't measured in minutes though just like a park's value isn't measured in the number of rides it offers. You can go to a theme park and never ride a single thing and still get a complete value out of your ticket.

We are stuck on the epcot bus in the massive line of cars. Surprised magic is not closed yet

Well, according to Google Maps, it will take you at least 21 minutes to get past that jam:

Spoiler: What the traffic jam mentioned looks like on Google Maps

And now, here are the wait times:

Spoiler: Some are calm, and others are crazy...

I believe this is a Phase D closing, unless I am wrong. Something we haven't seen since 2009.

To each his own-- just not my cup of tea

Magic Kingdom currently closed to some guests due to reaching capacity

Phase B

Edit - Steve mentioned Phase B, not D.
If it were a Phase D closing, it would apply to ALL guests.

You will probably be OK, but we'll likely know whats going in terms of redirects later today.

Traffic trying to get into Epcot and MK is crazy, I'd be surprised if Epcot hits a Phase closing later on in the day!

From that Twitter-found this funny!

Looks like someone really paid attention when they were watching Inside Out!

And this too:

Wow. In all my years of living here, I have NEVER seen a line that long for Imagination. It looks more like an 100 minute line than a 70-minute one. Let's hope it doesn't hit 100!

I have friends at MK, they just shut it down due to capacity

Just got here from Kidani. Very glad I took a Minnie Van, nice comfy ride and he knew about and avoided the traffic mess emanating from the MK.

That’s something I could never do. Always wanted to try but when I see pictures I am comforted that I didn’t.
