Disneyland hits capacity and stops sales

December 28th, 2007, 5:57 pm · 4 Comments · posted by Sarah Tully

The week between Christmas and New Year’s Day traditionally is the busiest of the year for Disneyland. And this week is no different.

At least three times this week, Disneyland had to stop letting new visitors in because too many people were crowding the park. This afternoon, electronic readers on roads in the Disneyland area warned visitors that tickets were sold out for the day. When that happens, Disneyland has to turn people away, sending them to the sister park at Disney’s California Adventure or elsewhere.

“This is the time of year we are extra popular,” said Rob Doughty, a Disneyland spokesman. “We get to a point, to protect the guest experience, we will divert people to go to Disney’s California Adventure.”

The park is expected to stay crowded through Tuesday. Doughty suggests that guests arrive early before noon so they can get in.

Hours are 8 a.m. to midnight Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday. Overnight on Monday - New Year’s Eve - the park will stay open from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m.

    When we were there on the Friday before Christmas, it was so busy, we thought there was an event on Main Street. All we saw was people, and they weren’t moving AT ALL. Just sanding there facing any which way and it was freaky!

    I was there that same day. It was soo crowded that they were letting people through the back building corridors to exit through after the fire work show (Which by the way was cut short).

    I can see them turning away pay-at-the-door guests, but what happens when you’re an annual passholder? Can they turn you away since you essentially already paid admission?
