Earlier @wdwmagic made reference to MK being at "Phase A" and referring to new nomenclature with phased closings. This came out of nowhere.... It seems that phase A matches up with phase 1, closed to 1D1P.

So anyone want to share what this new nomenclature means?

Edit: heard from Steve, he's on it.

I don't have to be glad. You couldn't get me to MK on Christmas day (or New Years Eve) at gun point. Some things just aren't fun at all. I'll go in mid-January or the first 3/4's of February. All the rest of the time, I'll stay home and read Disney Boards.

Disney World on Christmas Day isn't that bad, MK on Christmas Day is! We've always found HS and AK to be nice on Christmas Day.

True depending on your definition of nice. Still not tolerable to me though. At 1:45 MK is holding about the same as I listed previously with a few more joining the crowd. Belle 60, Dumbo 75, Mansion 40, Cindy 80, Carpets 45, Pooh 50, and Mermaid 70. Pirates is down again. The other parks are "better". Epcot has Mission orange 95, Soarin' 115, TT 110, and Fig 30. Studios R and R 105, Tower 50, Toy 75. Animal has Dino 60, Everest 55, and Safari 60.

Not really that bad all things considered.

With the exception of Pan, those numbers seem more like busy day during the summer than busiest day of the year. But then fastpass+ has changed everything. I feel bad for people who purchased a one day ticket and made fastpasses 60 days ago though, and are being turned away. That would tick me off.

If they made their selections 60 days ago then they are resort guests and are therefore not being turned away.

So since MK is at a "phased A" still and that basically means no more day tickets being sold, are they going to go back to "normal status" or will they completely stop selling anymore day tickets for today and keep it at an A status?

Well on my way to epcot, the signs saying "mk full" were still operating. People's tickets were checked before getting on the monorail. That was about 320
