The parking garages have closed to additional guests, but guests staying at Universal Orlando Resort hotels may still access the parks at this time.
Diagon Alley was teeming with guests before capacity was reached.
Walkways were packed throughout Universal Studios Florida during the mid-morning hours.
The gloomy weather has not deterred guests.
Thanksgiving and holiday offerings lead to capacity closures over the past few weeks. Keep checking WDWNT for more updates from Universal Orlando Resort.
STUPID PEOPLE STAY HOME
The last two weekends, there were after hours events that let people who purchased tickets get in the parks as early as 1pm and they were included in the capacity numbers before either park opened, so they weren’t turned away at the garages. Could of had a lot to do with them hitting capacity right before noon.
