The first thing they do is stop selling single day tickets. Prior to magical express (not so much now, but still happens) they shut down the parking lot well before they shut down the park.
Epcot high limit for Guests is 120,000 according to ex-imagineer Eddie Sotto. That's with everything up and running and all the areas open.

Phase 2 at 3:55 was actually a downgrade. So, obviously prior to that it was atleast ar phase 3. If it went to Phase 4, i dunno. Maybe someone else does
If I remember correctly, phase 4 really only meant total closure. Meaning park empty, everyone go on home. Basically, a really severe hurricane close by or some other really weird and serious things going on to completely shut everything down and sent everyone home.
That's Hurricane preparedness phases - different set of phases.
Those go from "At watch" to "batton down the hatches" to "send everyone home, lock them up in the resort" to "sit and wait..Thank you for calling WDW, we are currently not operating..." sorta thing.

I'm talking Magic Kingdom. Phase 3 or even Phase 2 closings is all the proof needed to make the point.speck76 said:
Here's my thought: People take time off from work at Christmas and during the summer when their kids are out of school. At Christmas, people who travel visit family (not all do, but this is by and large true). In the summer, people take family vacations and not just to visit family. As such, the Walt Disney World resort has had its sustained high attendance during the summer, with July 4 as its busiest day (unless there is freaky weather or we are talking about the immediate post-911 period when people felt unsafe).
When people in general think of Disney fireworks, they think of the Magic Kingdom fireworks before EPCOT or the Studios. On July 4, Walt Disney World gets a combination of the heavy vacation traffic plus locals with APs who want to see the Magic Kingdom patriotic fireworks, and the result is an overstuffed park.
Truly though, I'm not here to argue the point any farther. Both Independence Day and Christmas/New Years are busy to the point of misery for people who truly want to experience the attractions that are open every other day of the year. My original intent was to throw it back to the one or two posts that said "July 4 isn't busy," because with the exceptions of immediate post-911 and horrible weather, that is just not a true statement.

It is VERY busy....I am not sure why someone would make that observation, unless they have no idea what they are talking about (which seems to happen around these parts every once in a while) :lol:
Christmas, President's Week, Easter, July 4th......ALL are very busy.......
It is much easier to find hotels around July 4th in Orlando than it is other times of the year, simply because the other times have much more going on throughout the city....
