Magic Kingdom Under a Phased Closure Due to High Crowd Levels

Visitors to Magic Kingdom are reporting that Disney is closing its doors to some guests this afternoon in a measure designed to keep crowds at a manageable level. This marks the first capacity closing of the holiday season.

As of an hour ago the park was at a Phase B closing.  This means that Magic Kingdom is closed to guests with one day tickets, and that there is no re-entering or crossing over from another park unless one of the following conditions apply:

• Guests are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort including the Four Seasons Resort, Swan, Dolphin or Shades of Green.  This also includes Hotel Plaza Boulevard guests arriving by bus as well as residents of Golden Oak and their guests.
• WDW Premier Passport, Annual and Premium Passholders
• Guests with Memory Maker
• Guests with Dining Reservations or tickets to other onsite bookable event.

At this time, it is reported that guests with 1-day Magic Kingdom Park entry will be able to use their ticket to visit one of Walt Disney World’s other 3 theme parks.
