Disney's Hollywood Studios is the first park to hit capacity for Disney Park Pass availability

Posted: Monday June 22, 2020 2:49pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney's Hollywood Studios is now at capacity for the first two days of its reopening.

Disney's Hollywood Studios will reopen on July 15 with its new line-up of attractions

Disney Park Pass reservations began earlier today, open to Disney Resort guests only, and by 2:15pm Disney's Hollywood Studios reached capacity for both July 15 and July 16 2020.

Currently, all other dates and parks have full availability, although reservations are continuing, and on Friday will be joined by Disney Annual Passholders.

Disney has previously said that it expects people to have difficulty in obtaining reservations on some days, and that has turned out to be correct.

Disney's Hollywood Studios is perhaps viewed as the hot ticket now, with Star Wars Galaxy's Edge and Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway recently opened. The compact nature of the park would also likely give it the smallest distanced capacity of the four Walt Disney World theme parks.

I think they are keeping it so they can close off a park if it’s going to see unusual demand. On my last trip, the only day a park reservation was full was the Saturday that Tony Baxter was signing at Epcot. Being able to limit the number of guests in a park when a special event is happening could be handy, I get that.

Ah so each provides separate information, one as to who plans on going to a particularly park, and then the other tap on who actually shows up.

I often play bus roulette and don’t know which park I’m headed to. Sometimes I remember to make the reservation on the bus / transportation. Sometimes I forget.

I don’t mean this in a rude way but I am curious why you don’t do it before heading to the park? When I lived down there I would get my park reservation while heading out the door and then drive to whatever park I just booked.

2 different kinds of taps. I use the physical pass so I’m tapping my pass at the gate. “Tap my phone” - was being used for slang as in get on my phone and make a park reservation.

Not being a passholder, i am curious here. Without a reservation system, or even with one, if you don't tap your phone at the gate, is there another way that WDW tracks that you are entering the park? Data on number of bodies in the park, who are AP holders and who are ticket holders. What park you are visiting on a given day, what months have more AP visitors vs others, ect., seems like pretty important data to collect, especially if all it takes to collect it is a simple tap of your phone at the gate.

I mean it’s pretty silly to have to tap my phone when I’m at the gate of the park and there are reservations available- not sure why they can’t fix that. But it’s also pretty painless unless you get a CM who judges you when the light turns blue and you have to do the walk of shame out of line to make a reservation. Oh the shame!!!!! 🙈
