Welcome back to planDisney, April! I’m so glad you find our group of Disney enthusiasts to be helpful with your vacation planning!
The
4-Day/4-Park Magic Ticket is a very popular deal being offered! Given the price for entry into all four Disney Parks, it is easy to see why Guests are loving this ticket! This special ticket does not require Guests to make theme park reservations using the Disney Park Pass reservation system.
The Walt Disney World Resort does have tiered park closures when parks reach capacity. It is always possible that a park can limit or stop Guests from entering if it reaches capacity. I see that you are traveling in August. Since my wife and I both work in the education field, August is a month during which we frequently visit. We have never experienced a park closure due to capacity in August. Tiered park closures happen most often during the very popular holiday season in late December and early January.
As far as getting into the parks early, that is one of my favorite times to go! The parks tend to be less crowded the earlier you go. And, Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel (and other good neighbor resorts) are able to take advantage of the
Early Theme Park Entry benefit! This perk allows Guests to enter the Disney Parks 30-minutes prior to official park opening time!
Happy Planning!
