    Default Do the Florida Parks Ever Close?

    I have a friend that told me that once a year that Cisco goes to WDW and that Disney closes a park for several days to accomodate Cisco employees and their customers. I have a hard time believeing it. Anyone know if this is true.

    I have never heard of this happening and I can't imagine that Disney would close the parks for a few days for a company.
    I think your friend is pulling your leg.
    The only time I have heard of the parks closing is due to hurricanes.

    They have closed the Magic Kingdom a little earlier for private functions in the evening in the past. I don't know if this still happens or not, but they certainly don't shut a park down for a day let alone several for a private function.

    I don't think there has ever been a full day in which the Florida parks close. Partial days, yes. But not a full day.

    Now, you can rent out the park...at a hefty fee for a few hours. Or if you wanted it for the whole day, they would close each land as you moved through, but not completely 100% closed to public.

    I called him on it today... He works for Cisco and said he can't wait to go next year. He swears it's true. But I'm betting like you all it's a partial day.

    Probably a few hours in the evening is what he's talking about. There are enough CMs on here that someone would have known about it.
