And that’s likely to be the case for Thanksgiving Week, at least according to today’s Disney Quarterly Earnings Call.
Disney World has been operating at a significantly limited capacity since the reopening of the parks.

In October, Disney CEO Bob Chapek confirmed that the parks were operating at 25% capacity. Now, as we listen in to the Q4 Earnings Call for the Walt Disney Company, we’ve learned that capacity has been increased.
