In case you missed the pics, Walt Disney World has been BUSY lately.
Tomorrowland Crowds
In fact, the parks reached CAPACITY over the weekend!
In order to visit Disney World since it reopened over the summer, guests need to use the Disney Park Pass system, which allows you to make reservations to your first park of the day. (Guests with Annual Passes or Park Hopper tickets can then hop to another park after 2PM.)

And those about to go to Disney World for spring break have some good news: Park Passes have been REPLENISHED for the rest of February, March, and April!
Hollywood Studios
For the rest of February, we had been seeing NO availability for Annual Passholders on Saturday, February 27th…

…But now, every park but Disney’s Hollywood Studios is available!

March was also looking pretty booked up for some parks for Disney Resort Guests.

Now, the whole month is all green! (And not because of St. Patrick’s Day!)

Park passes are also fully available in March for Annual Passholders and theme park ticket holders.

Disney Resort Guests also had less-than-full availability for the first nine days of April. For instance, on April 1st, Hollywood Studios was NOT available!

But now, you can ride Slinky Dog Dash and try for that Rise of the Resistance boarding pass all month long! (Or, you know, go to any other Disney World park as a resort guest.)

Theme park ticket holders and Annual Passholders also have full Park Pass availability!

Does this mean capacity has increased?
Amy, Disney hasn’t released information on why they release more Park Passes, but if they do, we’ll report.
I have a feeling they are secretly increasing capacity. Since they never fessed up what the actual full capacity number is or what 35% of that would be, it seems clear they are increasing capacity but without the announcement that might bring bad publicity.
Kelly O., I keep thinking about the fact that they never used to talk about capacity in the past, so the only gauges were when Parks were closed for capacity (for example, on New Year’s Eve or Christmas), and even then we can’t be sure that equaled a full 100%. It’s interesting for sure, but I’m not confident we’ll ever really know beyond what the Company tells us.
What exactly does it mean when you say “Disney replenished park passes”? It is extremely confusing and has been driving me nutz watching the availability change a couple times each day as time gets closer to my March trip.
Liz, it means the availability calendar provided by Disney is showing green (available DPP) when it was previously yellow (no Passes available). We don’t know why this changes, since Disney hasn’t announced why they do so. But we’ll keep updating to help folks with their planning.
