ORLANDO, Fla. - Spring breakers from across the country are heading to Central Florida and many of them are hoping to get into Walt Disney World and other Orlando-area theme parks.
Starting this weekend, there are very few tickets left for select parks. However, next Monday through Friday, Disney's website shows that there are no tickets available for any of the four parks. Disney’s Hollywood Studios is sold out for the rest of the month.

Visit Orlando says parks like Disney continue to operate on a reduced capacity and are maxing out ticket sales at those levels. They say it’s an encouraging sign -- especially considering how poor the tourist development tax dollars were for the month of January in Orange County.
"That is the first month-over-month decline that we’ve had in TDT collections since we hit rock bottom in April," said Orange County Comptroller Phil Diamond.
