Yep, what happens then is non ap/DL or GC hotel guests will be forced to wait in a line akin to a night club. As people leave the park (your handstamp won't automatically let you back in) they allow more people in.

Good to know. I wouldn't think it would reach capacity with just hotel guests and AP holders though. I would think AP holders would steer clear of the parks during the busiest times! Do you have to have a special AP that doesn't have block-out dates or does DL not have any distinction between APs?

I have a premium (a premier is also on the same level, it just also adds WDW) which has no block out dates and as you go down in price the more blockouts appear. Apparently, according to that update, a lot of APs go this week because they will be blocked out next week.

Ah, that explains the full parks this week then...

Good thing I haven't been to the parks since October. I hope to at least go before the Christmas decorations come down before I go to WDW.

I'm so glad you post these links. I haven't been reading them lately since I am trying to keep my email under control. This way I can come back and read them when I have some more time :D

And that's what is wrong with the country! We give, at best, 80% and phone it in towards the end. :D

I just saw this on my facebook feed that says Carsland may be slated to open May 31st but like it says there, the date could be changed. With the progress that's been going, I wouldn't be surprised. They have quite a lot done and they've been working at a great pace.

That's about average, "Summer" means end of May start of June for Disney as it's the start of vacation season.
