I go in tonight..... The conditions out at the beach are awesome. more people need to come this way today :)

someone should update on how bad it is to get in to parking. I have a long commute already and wonder how much time to add....

I've never been there while they are under phase closings. How do they announce this to the guests? I in vision a lot of people getting upset when they park hop or try to re-enter a park and get turned away.

It is usually announced with signage at transportation and at parking, main entrances and road side led signage.

That would be me! My husband almost passed out from heat exhaustion and a group trampled us so we left thinking to return!

Right but then I have to get a hopper ticket:(
The trick is, if the park is going to go into phased closings....do not leave that park if you want to get back in.

Phased closing only happen on major holidays. If you are going to go, expect to brave the crowds and stay put!

I understand, but if you see my post earlier my husband almost passed out and I felt getting him to safety was best. Thank you for your input. Would it go back to phase two later?

It's hard to tell....possibly....It all depends upon how many people decide that they can't take the crowds anymore.....or a major thunderstorm.

We could have gone back since phase two says if we are returning from same day. Not on site or reservations.... My kids are crying. We had no idea this could happen.

@jpasetto they are only at Phase 2 ?

If so then you can still get back into the park that you left.

edited to add: You just cannot park in the parking lot...you must either take a taxi or Disney bus back to the SAME park that you left.
