ORLANDO, FLA. (WSVN) - Guests that hoped to celebrate New Year’s Eve at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom were turned away after the park reached maximum capacity.
According to a tweet from @WDWGuestService, new guests were not being allowed inside at around 1 p.m., Tuesday.
The park recommended those who couldn’t get inside head over to Animal Kingdom, Epcot or Hollywood Studios.
It’s chaos at the Magic Kingdom parking gate. Park just closed due to crowds. Stuck in the line. Nobody out here directing people or giving info. Please share info if other parks are open. Thanks! @WaltDisneyWorld @WDWToday #disneyclosed #disneyworld #magickingdom pic.twitter.com/sLKodq8kyN
