How often does this happen?

was thinking of heading to the parks after work/class tonight...perhaps not!

Wondering if announcements are made at the monorail at Epcot to let guest know.

Wow, anything specific going on today? Or just the proximity to Easter?

A majority of schools have this week off for Spring Break due to the Passover/Easter holiday time.

 

[Tinkrbell]

My guess would just be the proximity to Easter. I was there last spring doing the CP & the parks (mainly MK) ended up going to phase closings the week before & after Easter.

I think Spring Break may also be a part of it

I think this week and the week between Christmas and New Year's will really appreciate Fantasyland Forrest.

Oh man, I'm scared! I'm going to the MK tomorrow with my mom and dad and my son... I knew it would be bad, but not "close the park" bad.

Just make sure you go very early and do your favorite attractions first and get fast passes.

I was in DHS yesterday and it was the most crowded I have ever seen it. EVER. 130 minute wait for Toy Story, which I guess isnt dramatic. Indiana Jones turning people away.. It was crazy, but sorta fun in a way.

And Sounds Dangerkus is open....That's how you KNOW the parks are crowded.

This shouldn't be a surprise, this weekend is always packed.

If anyone is in the parks, can they look at getting me some of the Fastpasses I've listed, I'll gladly compensate you?

Mickey's PhilharMagic
Stitch's Great Escape
Honey I Shrunk the Audience
Lights, Motors, Action
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
Primeval Whirl
It's Tough to be a Bug

Thanks in advance.

Thats a bummer for the folks that didn't get in today. The last time we went to Magic Kingdom it was on Phase 3. it didn't affect us, because we got there at park opening, but its a bummer for someone.

The park has just reopened to all guests again.
