Actually there's no 1 answer. TRUE capacity depends on what chutes are open (if any), which attractions are open, and may even include(believe it or not) closing time, as well as smaller factors like if there are stages, construction, ect ect ect... For instance, capacity on a day MK is open 9-9 and has 1 attraction down during early may, will be COMPLETELY different from Grad Nite, or from an EHH day where it's open until 3 AM on July 4.

I did a google search (might be reliable, might not :shrug: ) but what I found was that WDW cannot disclose the exact body count that makes each park hit maximum capacity.
The only concrete number I found on maximum capacity was for the monorail. "The maximum capacity of a 6 car monorail is 364, the normal capacity is 316." I know that's not what you were looking for exactly, but still a fun fact.

Thanks! Fun info on web-page. We've gone in Oct and Jan. 100,000 people would be crazy!

Even with everything open, that's not the capacity, sorry

Looking at that site, it really needs to do some fact checking, most of those numbers are completely false/wrong

Yup, can't take that site seriously.
For instance:
That would be over 30 per day. Now, I suppose it could be a typo and it is supposed to be 1,100, which roughly would be 3 a day. But you can't have number typos on a 'by the numbers' site.
Or such as this one:
That directly contradicts itself. 1,500,000 / 37 years of the MK = about 40,000 per year. Not 100.
If they count every use of pyrotechnics (Indy stunt show, LMAX, castle forecourt shows etc) at all 4 parks I could see that number getting to around 30 per day. It is still a BS way of inflating the numbers but I can at least see where the number came from.

Not sure what you mean by "can't." Since Disney World is it's own quasi-governmental organization, the fire code can be made up by them alone (provided they meet state minimums of course). The above poster is correct when they say that capacity will change under a variety of circumstances. It usually has more to do with staffing and the per guest capita of the staff as well as the amount of supplies they have measured with the number of guests. I am guessing that under full staffing, ample supplies (food, drink, medical, security) the Magic Kingdom can accommodate 100,000 people. I don't tjink it has too much to do with whether or not all the rides are open, but the more that are closed then the more the capacity decreases.

This is the one that struck me

"58,000 employees are employed by Walt Disney world as of 2006, spending more than $1.1 billion on payroll and $478 million in benefits each year"
Thats an average of 18,965 per employee

"50,000 pine trees were planted by WDW cast members across 50 acres to form a 'hidden Mickey' in honor of the WDW’s 20th anniversary on February 27, 1992."

I don't know if this is one they are referring to, because I was always told this one is orange trees, but:
