Max occupancy at MK

[bugsbunny]

Going by square acreage and comparing it to things like a stadium or other venues is apples and oranges. A stadium uses vertical displacement and also puts occupants 3 inches from each other.

And in all honesty, if you are going with total square area methods, you have to do mix reality with common sense. I'm sure if I did the math, I could figure out that I can fit 30+ people in the back of my pickup truck regardless of the comfort factor.

Sticking 50,000+ at ONE time in MK would have to be ungodly. Personally, I'd turn around and leave. I mean REALLY. Imagine 10,000 on Main Street, 10,000 in Adventure Land, 10,000 in Tomorrow Land, 10,000 in Fantasy Land, 10,000 in Frontier Land, and for good measure, have 5,000 mulling around the castle.

I guess I just can't physically imagine this.

And on another note, I was told that they "sell out" the Mickey Christmas part at around 15,000 tickets. If that is the case, then that leaves the park at 1/5 capacity if using the stated numbers.

Can anyone validate how many ticktes constitute a sell out for those events?

You have to remember- many of these guests are on rides, in queues, in shops, etc. MIckey's Philarmagic holds 500 people- say another 500 people are in line- theres one attraction right there and over 1000 people.

Bad people with bad intentions need not know any info, especially occupany! I am sure there are more reasons besides that, but my company does not want myself or other cast members to go blabbing that kind of info and I respect that.

 

[Blake]

Yes, after putting in some more thought- i can see the reasons as to why it may not be a good idea for Disney to give out daily attendance figures...

Are you speaking about the IRS or Universal?:lol: Disney decided many years ago to stop the release of park attendance figures for corporate reasons (smart move), not security reasons. Maximum park capacity figures are still available. Resort capacity figures are also available. Restaurant capacity is also available. Most (if not all) of these numbers must be available to the public by law. After all, we don't want any WDW guests "squished" to an untimely demsie (except on HISTA)!

Yes my dear the original reason was corporate, Universal does not release theirs either, but now in the world we live in we have other reason to not release such info, starts with a T.

I'll be the first to admit that Tramp can be a scalawag at times, but he is no threat to WDW or anywhere else. As he has stated, he is locked in a rubber room.:lol: But yes, I do see your point. Tramp could escape (he's very clever) and reach that missle silo at the Magic Kingdom. Enough said. :zipit: I understand and apologize for my failure to comply with WDW security directives.

I'll be getting pictures of our parade through MK....I'll post em here when I get them. I tell you it was amazing experience to do. Having thousands of people lined up to see you. Kids getting excited and such. Now I know why the parade crew does what they do night after night. I definitely didn't expect as many people to stop and watch as did....it looked like the spectro was about to start or somethin'

Tramp and I don't agree on much but...

I feel confident that Tramp would agree with me and Willy Wonka:

That's why the food is so cheap. They don't want to be greedy :lol:

I love your location Woody, it is quite amusing.

And I too need to get my pictures devloped when me and my friend were in the Jammin' Jungle parade in MY park , it was her first time at AK!

And once again that estimation is wrong, and although I do not agree with the prices completely, but it does cost a buttload to operate the park, pay your employees, order supplies, pay bills, build new attractions, you get my point. And we have to have money to be able to grow the business. So it is sort of a catch22.

Sacrificing freedom for security insures neither.

Oh ya cause not releasing capacity or attendance info is sooooooooooo impeding on our freedom .

The Disney company has every right to withhold attendance figures. As I stated before, it's good business. However, park guest capacity information is a matter of public safety. The Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID) has park capacity information. The District is a public corporation of the State of Florida and the Legislature has granted no exemption from the Florida Sunshine Law to the RCID.

Florida is renowned for putting a high priority on the public's right of access to governmental meetings and records. In fact, the principles of open government are embodied not only in Florida statutes, but also guaranteed in the state Constitution.

Florida began its tradition of openness back in 1909 with the passage of what has come to be known as the "Public Records Law," Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes. This law provides that any records made or received by any public agency in the course of its official business are available for inspection, unless specifically exempted by the Legislature. Over the years, the definition of what constitutes "public records" has come to include not just traditional written documents such as papers, maps and books, but also tapes, photographs, film, sound recordings and records stored in computers.

In short, the public has a right to know and by law the RCID must supply park carrying capacity information to anyone who files a written request.

Reedy Creek Improvement District
1900 Hotel Plaza Blvd.
P.O. Box 10170
Lake Buena Vista, Florida 32830-0170
(407) 828-2241


Information of this type does have a lot to do with our freedom.

Why?


How?


I think it is freaking wrong. What about terrorists? You want them to know how many people we can fit into a park? What good would it do to someone's freedom for knowing that? Tell me!

EDIT: Sorry I jsut get upset, there is a reason why we don't tell that stuff, why can't you respect that?

We don't tell people what our daily attendance is. We don't volunteer park capacities. The public can find out if they really want to.

Can't really do anything about that.

The specter of terrorism cannot become an excuse for the government to hide information from the public. Our substantive rights are only as good as our procedural rights. When the rights of some Americans are diminished or withheld, America is less free.

Seriously give me a break, raise your hand if you feel your rights are being vialated because Disney will not give out it's maximum occupancy or attendance figures. Use this smilie::wave: if you feel less free because of the witholding of this info, and GIVE THE REASON WHY YOU FEEL THIS WAY.....

*cough, cough* Evil doers have the option of paying $150.00 for the luxury of getting the information via their computers: http://www.state.fl.us/rcid/notes/epsearch.html
