    Magic Kingdom Closed After Reaching Capacity with New Years Eve Crowds

    New Years Eve is one of the busiest days of the year at Magic Kingdom. And as expected the park has temporarily closed after reaching capacity as crowds descend on the most magical place on earth to ring in the 2019.

    Magic Kingdom is currently at a Phase B capacity closure with the announcement coming at 11:35 a.m this morning.

    Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom all remained open to additional guests and those are always a great place to ring in the new year also, but they can reach capacity as well so you might want to get there quickly before they fill up too.

    “We are experiencing a very busy day at Walt Disney World. Magic Kingdom is not accepting new Guests at this time,” Disney said on its Twitter feed.

    UPDATE: All Walt Disney World Parks are currently open to all guests as of 5:45pm.  Keep checking back as they could easily reach capacity again.

  • Retired Animatronic’s Clothing Stolen From Backstage Area at Disney World

    Retired Animatronic’s Clothing Stolen From Backstage Area at Disney World

    The Happiest Place on Earth isn’t so happy after The Orange County Sheriff’s Office announced they’re investigating the theft of clothing that belonged to a retired animatronic character at Walt Disney World.

    The stolen items belong to “Buzzy”, who was part of the now-closed Wonders of Life pavilion attraction Cranium Command at Epcot.

    Cranium Command offered a fun look at how “the lean, mean thinking machine,” the human brain, worked. Guests first watched a video in which a rookie recruit, Buzzy, was assigned to take the controls of a 12-year-old boy’s brain. They then entered a theater to join Buzzy inside the boy’s head and saw firsthand how the boy’s brain reacted when different things happened throughout his day.

    According to officials, someone snuck into a backstage area that’s not open to the public and took a red jacket, green cap and rubber molded hands.

    An incident report lists the items’ value at $600, but it wasn’t known what a black-market collector might pay for parts of a Disney attraction.

    The sheriff’s office says they’ve interviewed a suspect. The man was charged with resisting arrest after refusing to hand over his phone, but no charges have been filed in the theft.
