Many 8a Openings at Magic Kingdom Coming Up

The Magic Kingdom will be opening at 8a rather than the usual 9a on eight of the ten days beginning Friday October 5, 2012 and ending Sunday October 14–every day in that span except for 10/9 and 10/10.

8a openings are unusual except on the most busy days of the year, and I haven’t seen such a sweep of them outside of the weeks around Christmas and New Years.  During Columbus Day week last year, there were none.

I’m not sure if this means the parks will be busier than the 5/Moderate Minus in the crowd calendar, or if something else is going on, but if they are busier, crowds will still be in the “Moderate” range.”
