Don't you listen to BT at all? The economy is worse than ever and no one is spending money.

Wait....where did you hear they were closing at noon?

I read they are closing LATER than usual. Why would they close at noon? Backwards logic confuses me.

edit: Closing the entrance gates you mean. I see.....

It's possible they do both. Parks can (and have) close early because they reach a certain capacity and try to stem the crowd. It's no fun for anyone to wait several hours for rides or food. On the other side, they might stay open later because the crowds already there will be waiting in long lines and the park will give them more time to see everything.

For the park, after you've paid to get in you will be buying food, souvenirs, and whatever your kids are crying about. If they keep you later, all the better.

during the holidays, most stay open super late, especially for new years

however, due to fire codes and what not, they close doors to admission until they can come down beneath the capacity limits.

These are actually the first Death Camps that may go operational starting tomorrow, as the government puts its plans into effect.

The Mayan's predicted this and so did BT and I.






PS:
If somehow the death camps are NOT activated tomorrow, please note that I said the word "may" above, so it will happen at a future time and the Mayans, BT and myself are technically, NOT wrong.

TIL: That even amusement parks have fire code capacities...

I can't imagine the size of the fire it would take to evacuate Kings Island... let alone Disney World lol

Only Magic Kingdom closed due to capacity, at least for WDW. Insane - they closed at 10AM.



Edit: The holiday time is one of the busiest for WDW. People are off from work/school, and we are starting to get the South Americans.

It's the only time off some people get. Also, don't forget that there are A LOT of special circumstances taking place around New Years that will bring in traffic, like all the college football teams that are down there for bowl games.

Haha, you've got it. The hotels and planning people have no reason to turn people away. That's just turning away money. In their defense, they never know what crowds will really be like. Maybe it looks oversold but because it's cloudy half of people in the area hang onto their tickets for another day. Boom, half capacity opened up.

Actually, you're a little bit wrong. All of the theme parks have teams specifically for the sole purpose of predicting the crowds for each day and they are very, very good at predicting what the crowds will look like.
