Disney’s 24 Hours of Magic – Capacity Restrictions

Disney's 24 Hours of Magic - Capacity Restrictions

“The devil is in the details” and for those of you who are planning on leaping into the Magic Kingdom for the first ever 24 hours of magic may have noticed the fine print on the bottom of the announcement that reads “subject to capacity restrictions”.

You saw the photos of the parks at capacity over Christmas and New Years and you’re having flash backs of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and you’re wondering if you’ll have the golden ticket or if you’ll be outside those iron gates longingly looking in.

Before you’re tempted to have a Veruca Salt moment, here is what you need to know about the park capacity issue.


There are four phases to park closing:

Phase 1: The following guests will be turned away at the parking lot booths

  • Guests with Magic Your Way Base tickets
  • Guests with a 1-Day, 1-Park ticket
  • Guests without an admission ticket
  • Cast members with main gate and silver passes

Phase 2: Admission is limited to:

  • Disney resort guests (including the Swan and Dolphin and guests arriving by bus from the Hotel Boulevard hotels)
  • Annual and premium annual passholders
  • Guests with hopper tickets coming from another park
  • Guests re-entering the park
  • Guests with dining reservations
  • Magic Kingdom guests with reservations for the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique or The Pirates League
  • Guests using the Walt Disney World Resort Transportation will be admitted

Phase 3: Admission is limited to:

  • Disney Resort Guests (including the Swan and Dolphin and guests arriving by bus from the Hotel Boulevard hotels)
  • Annual and premium annual passholders

  • Magic Kingdom guests with reservations for the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique or The Pirates League

  1. What do we think? Is that really going to happen? I’d love to go, but a big crowd is a deal breaker for me.
