All Disney Parks Hit Capacity For Rest Of 2021 Amid Omicron Spread – Inside The Magic

During the holidays, it is not too shocking to see massive crowds flood Walt Disney World Resort. With kids being out of school and many adults having some extra vacation time due to the holidays, it often seems that travel during this time would be a no-brainer.

Although Christmas is often busy, it seems that a lot of Guests choose to come visit as soon as Christmas is over for New Year’s Eve. Considering a sudden Disney vacation is always a great Christmas gift, the week following Christmas has become increasingly popular for many. We have been reporting on the crowds over the past few days, but it seems that the biggest set of crowds will be seen today and tomorrow.

All Disney theme park Guests, Resort Guests, and Annual Passholders can no longer purchase a ticket or make a Disney Park Pass reservation as all four Disney Parks are at capacity! With New Year’s Eve being tomorrow and knowing that Disney will be celebrating the festivities, unlike last year, we are not surprised to see this outcome. That being said, it is good for Disney Guests to know about the capacity limit being hit so that they can make alternate plans if they do not yet have a Disney Park Pass reservation. Disney Springs is also an option for those who will not be able to get into a Disney Park.
