7. Universal Orlando Resort hits capacity multiple times during holiday week 

It was a busy week at Universal Orlando Resort, with both theme parks hitting capacity multiple times this past week. During these phased closures, the parking garages close to additional guests, but guests staying at Universal Orlando Resort hotels and guests with single day dated tickets may still access the parks. Though guest levels may calm down during the beginning of December, we expect more capacity days for the resort as we get closer to Christmas and New Year's Eve.
