E-Ride Nights!!!

[Cinderella37]

I just spoke to WDW information and there are E-Ride Nights again!!

May 31

None for June so far

July: 2,5,7,9,12,14,16,19,21,23,26,28,30

I can't believe how many are scheduled for July. Looks like our diligence paid off!

[helenk]

Thank you!!!
I was so hoping for an E-night on the 2nd, I made my plans with that in mind.
You have made my day

[chloebob]

that's great news! Hopefully, they will have some in august too!!! (crossing my fingers!):Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

[ugadog99]

MAYBE there are no June nights because they are going to keep the new evening EMH nights. I sure hope we have one or the other OR both!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[marjie8230]

I saw on another websight that the new EME was not a replacement for E-Ride nights. I hope this is right. This is my first visit to WDW and I am totally looking forward to the E-ride nights. I even made my plans around them so we could enjoy 2 (based on historical dates.)
Any additional information about when the June dates will come out would be greatly appreciated. There hasn't been a year for a long time that they weren't available in June. I hope this isn't the first.

[BrerMama]

Just wanted to point out that it doesn't look like they'll be doing the mixed EMH (before and after park hours) during July according to this schedule. On the trial schedule, Wednesdays are Park After Dark for the MK. The July e-ride schedule indicates several Wednesdays as e-ride nights. I would venture to say that those planning July vacations could plan on only early morning EMH, especially given the frequency of e-ride nights in July.

[Disneyhappy]

You have no idea how much this has made my day. Before hearing this news, I was wishing I never got out of bed this AM!
Thank you!

[JKanownik]

I'm so happy for you all! I was hoping for some more E-Ride Nights this May, but we will be there during the EMH test which will hopefully be just as nice. ::yes::

[megan926]

WHat is an E-ride night?

[JKanownik]

Here is a link that explains E-Ride Nights.

http://allearsnet.com/tp/etik.htm

[DVC Jen]

I hope we get something for early June... and for those of you going later too.

[CharlesandCamilla]

Is this posted anywhere yet? It's almost too good to be true! I couldn't find anything about it on allears, mousesavers, or WDW.

And here I was bumming because I can't take advantage of any of the current codes.

[Disneyhappy]

I jsut spoke with Guest Services and they have no record of any e-nights for July. Anyone else able to confirm?

[Cinderella37]

I called and spoke to a CM at 407-824-4321 and it is also posted on www.wdwinfo.com under the E-Ticket section (after the explanation of new EMH benefits).

I've never been able to find E-Ride Night info on www.disneyworld.com and currently the webmaster of www.Allearsnet.com is in California at the Disneyland press event.

Current E-Ticket Nights


E-Night Trial Period Planned for 2004

There's a special treat in store for guests staying at a onsite Disney resort from 5/9/04 to 5/22/04.

Plans are in the works for scheduling eight Extra Magic Hour Evenings. Guests staying at a Disney resort will be able to enjoy select attractions at the designated theme park for up to three hours after the park closes to the general public.

Wristbands will be given to guests producing a valid Key To The World Card. They will be distributed beginning three hours prior to the start of the the event. (Guests staying at the Swan/Dolphin or the Lake Buena Vista Hilton are eligible to participate. ) Guests staying at Shades of Green will be eligible for only the morning Extra Magic Hour.

Regular park admission will be required. Guests using single day passes cannot "hop" to the selected theme park offering the evening hours, but must have used their pass for that park on the day of the offer.

The Extra Magic Hour morning schedule will remain in place. The attractions open in the evening can vary from those running during the morning.

The schedule for the Extra Magic Hour Evenings is:

Sunday - Epcot
Tuesday - Disney-MGM Studios
Wednesday - Magic Kingdom
Thursday - Animal Kingdom

Fastpass will be available.


JULY E-RIDE NIGHT SCHEDULE:
E-Ride Nights at the Magic Kingdom will be held on the following dates in July: 2, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 19, 21, 23, 26, 28, 30.

[Disneyhappy]

Thank you! I was afraid it was too good to be true!

[Cinderella37]

I think everyone is so busy with the new resort codes, that they aren't updating their sites with the E-Night info. I was beginning to think that I was going crazy even though I talked to a live person this afternoon!;)

[sugermouse]

Thank you Disney!!!! Just made my day. Thats means we have 3 e ride nights during our stay in July!!! It is one of the highlights of our trip.:Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc

[TXTink]

Gosh, I am happy for all you July vacationers!

But, I am also concerned for us June visitors..... I hope we will get some dates too, I was hoping for 2 e-nights while we are there.

Any updates will be greatly appreciated!!

[Frannie4217]

Stupid ? and I even read the link to explain the enights lol but we r staying off site so this means we can't go? or we have to buy the tickets. Staying at the Buena Vista Suites with a Park Hopper + pass.


Thanks!
Frannie

[Cinderella37]

You must be a WDW resort guest AND buy a special ticket for $12.00.

[pirateeast]

Hopeing for some June dates.

bummer but thanks for the info that is what I was thinking but it didn't sink in lol With 4 teens it would have been great but now u know y we are staying off site lol


Frannie

[westjones]

Can you buy them 'before' your trip, or when you get to the resort. We have only done this once, and we bought the tickets at the resort, so I don't know if you can get them ahead of time.

DJ

[westjones]

Oh! Another Question! We want to go on July 7th. The park closes at 10:00 pm. So how long will E-Ride Night last?

Thanks,
DJ

[Brumeiser]

I found this
JULY E-RIDE NIGHT SCHEDULE:
E-Ride Nights at the Magic Kingdom will be held on the following dates in July: 2, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 19, 21, 23, 26, 28, 30.


to confirm previous posters confirmation of e-nights.My question is can we call now and get tickets or do you buy them at the day of e-night. The link someone posted said to get them at the lobby of your hotel but can you get it if you are in the dolphin? if not where in the magic kingdom do you buy them and do you recommend buying them first thing the park opens? And as the previous post does that mean the park is open from 10 to 1am or what are they open till? Thanks

[Chadsgirl44]

E- Night tickets are available at the front desk of your WDW Resort. To my knowlegde this is the only place you can purchase them. Last year we bought our ticket 2 days before E-Night at the CBR Front Desk. In the past I have also been able to buy them up to 4 days in advance but only at check-in.

[OLT2004]

Eride nights used to be 3 hours and were done during the off season when the MK closed @ 6, 7 PM or 8 PM.

What are the current scheduled closing times for these JULY dates?

UH...UH....
or
Goody Goody?

[shelleybell]

Happy for you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But what about June?
June June June......I am about to throw a fit:sad:

So was I. I called guest services twice after reading this thread. The first time the CM told me there were no E-ride nights scheduled this year. She even checked with ??a supervisor / another CM. I waited an hour and called again. That CM told me that there WAS an E-ride night in May. It had just popped up on her system. Now I have to go revise the itinerary. Again! I'll take it though!:teeth:

[BrerMama]

You can only buy tickets at the front desk of your hotel. Only onsite hotel guests can participate (although I think this includes Swan/Dolphin). If the park closes at 10, you get to stay until 1 am.

Very strange to have 1 May date (and on the last day of May) and then none in June.....

[Cinderella37]

There have been E-Ride Nights every summer since 1998, even when the park closes late. The other posters are correct - the park will stay open until 1:00 (the MK closes at 10:00 every night except for the 4th (12:00) and the 3rd (11:00). In past years when the MK was open until 11:00, the E-Ride Night went on until 2:00.

You can only buy the tickets at your resort upon arrival. You pick up a wrist band at the MK the night of the event. As for June E-Ride Nights, I'd keep calling. I can't imagine not having them in June.

[marjie8230]

I just got off the phone regarding June 2004 E-Ride Nights. The CM told me the dates for June were basically every M, W, and F. June 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 21, 23, 25, 28, and 30.

In fact, I wanted to make sure the CM had her story straight so I called back right after and the 2nd CM told me the same information. No telling if it will change between now and then, but probably not.

Hope this helps all the June vacationers.

[Poohlovr]

Thanks for the June info--and I really hope that holds true!

I am/was concerned about no June e-nights and thought it odd to start in May, skip June and pick up so heavily in July.


Fingers crossed that nothing changes!

[shelleybell]

wahoooo!
I will try calling tomorrow to see what I get told about June. Lets hope it holds true!:hyper:

[TXTink]

Thank you so much marjie8230!!! That is great news!!

Thanks! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for June 4. I'm skeptical, as I know how often things change, especially since the trial EMH hours are supposed to go through May 22. I had planned our schedule based on a Friday E-ride night!

[Doc and Family]

I am happy for all of you, but ticked off nonetheless.

Have been hounding WDW about E-ride nights for months. Will be there 5/21-5/31--checking out in the am. EMH test is going on before we get there. E-ride nights, which we really want, start after we leave. Time for more phone calls and e-mails.

For now, I'll just continue to be ticked off at WDW and their continued offerings of less for more money.

I hope y'all who are lucky enough to have E-ride nights enjoy the hell out of them--I would if I could.

:mad: :confused3 :charac2:

[mmtdevlin]

Is it just the MK park that is open on E-Ride Nights?

mmtdevlin

Yes, and only certain rides.

[marjie8230]

Just called again, about something else, and was told again that the June E-Ride nights are as I mentioned above. At least they all have the same information. Hopefully it won't change between now and then.
Sorry to Doc. I know how frustrated you must be to miss out on something you want to do. The one thing I thought my son (2) would like is down for repairs during our visit. He is a little boy that loves to play with his sisters babies, as well as a lot of other toys too. But "It's a small world" would have been a big deal for him. I'm bummed.
Just goes to show you. You don't always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need. Someone with talent should write a song like that.
Anyway, I hope this info helps some of you out there.:wave2:

[coinkc]

I called this morning and was told the May 31 and July dates. She said that there were no June dates listed. Hmmm...hope the rest of you are right because we are going in June!

Another question: I know that you must use a day of park admission in order to get in to an e-ride night. Do you have to BE IN the park when it closes? We are planning to be in MK that morning but then leave for the afternoon/evening. I have an Illuminations cruise scheduled for June 28 and was thinking we could then go back to MK for e-ride night (if they have it). However, Im not sure we would be back at MK before they close at 10:00. Can we still get in?

[PirateFan]

Just got off the phone with WDTC asking about June E-nights. The CM ask me the dates of our visit (june 12-23) and said that during that time E-nights are scheduled for 14,16,18,21 & 23. She also said that the EE mornings will be on the old schedule (Sun - MK, Mon - AK, etc.) She said that if the new Evening Magic Hour test was successful, it would be implemented permenantly in the future, but not in June.

I hope she knows what she's talking about.

[BrerMama]

Pirate Fan, that is excellent news about being on the old EMH schedule in June! You should start a new thread with that info!

[4greatboys]

I will take either the E nights or EMH pm, lol. Just give me something in June.
Hi TXTink--we live in Friendswood too :wave:

[TXTink]

Cool 4greatboys! There are a few of us Friendswood DISer's around! We will be in "the world" June 12-20. Can't wait! I was hoping for E-nights, so this is great news!

Ya'll have a great time!

[4greatboys]

We will just miss you guys. Our dates are May 29-June 12. Now with the E-ride night sch I only had to switch 2 days around. Not to bad. We are going to try to hit 2 of them.

[TXTink]

We are doing 2 as well, with the last being the last night we are there. With older teens, I think we will be able to stay out pretty late. I only had to move one afternoon touring plan, so that wasn't too bad! I love looking at the castle and feeling all alone on Main Street!

Have a great trip! I look forward to reading about it after we get back!

[mybgirl]

POFQ IN 29 DAYS MY DREAM princess: :) :)

[lenshanem]

I called. (Friday, 7th @ 9:25 am EST) I was told no e-ride nights in June. July does have e-ride and the dates he gave me for our trip match up to dates I've seen on the DIS. Link -
http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/eticket.htm

I was told the extra hour test is only in May, no word on it continuing through June or July.

Don't know if I trust any of this info, I seemed to know more than the CM I was asking the questions to. Oh, well.

Note the DIS nor All Ears has any June e-ride nights listed. If they have been added like was referenced in one of the above posts it is very new news.
I'll will continue to look.

Thanks!

[4greatboys]

Its so hard to plan a vacation when everyone get a different answer. I called yesterday about June E-nights and was given the same dates as above. Well I may 2 different ps ressies for the days I might switch so atleast Im set for now. I'll just wait and see which plan to go with.

[lenshanem]

I think I'll call back and try and get another person. What number are ya'll using to get the June e-ride nights? I called the WDW info number.

[4greatboys]

I called 407-939-PLAY (7529)

[lenshanem]

UGH!!! I give up!
I called that number 4greatboys and was given different e-ride nights than mybgirl did for June.
I don't think they have a clue what they are talking about.
I was told 7, 9, 11 for the dates we'll be there.


I'll just wait to official dates are given out.

EDIT - One last attempt, I called WDW info again. Got a CM that told me no June e-ride nights.

[dvcmommy]

maybe mybgirl accidentally typed a 6 instead of 7? Other than that, the dates seem to be the same......every M W F...............???

[4greatboys]

I was given June 2, 4, 7,9 and 11. Those are the only dates I wrote down but she mentioned several others.
I made 2 plans for June 7 & 8 and I also made 2 ps for each day so either way E-night or not I will be covered.

[Pluto]

I have been so busy at the resort boards waiting for info for discounts in July that I just today checked for e-ride nights schedule. The good news is that there will be three the bad news is I was banking on them being the same as before on Tuesday and Friday:tongue:earseek: I have ps for cindys tuesday morning thinking we would get up early, eat, spend some time in MK, go back to hotel until around 7:00 and go back and stay for e-ride night, and then have Wednesday as are off day! Now I have to plan all over again! But it's okay that's part of the fun:earsboy:

[jiminyml]

:rolleyes:

Does anyone know if E-ride night tickets are available to guests staying in one of the "Official" WDW Hotels near DTD?? I think they were available to guests there in the past, but I know a lot has changed in that area since Disney has built so many more rooms of their own..........

Any help would be appreciated!

[sm4987]

I just read this and hate that there is so much conflicting information about e-ride nights for June. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though, because my family had a ball last year with them

[lenshanem]

I'm still confused. :crazy: Were you told the 6th or the 7th?
Thanks!

[CharlesandCamilla]

It's mondays, wednesdays, and fridays.

[DonnaSue]

I sure hope that we will have e-ride nights in June!!! Now that the boys are older (14 and 17) I think would enjoy it a lot better now than we did a few years ago - although we loved it then!!! The boys were just really tired!!! They are night owls now!!!

[Dopey Sharon]

I called, yesterday, and was told there will be e-nights and the dates were June 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, 14, 16, 18, 21, 23, 25, 28, 30.:confused:


ETA...this is the email I received, today, from WDW...

Dear Sharon,

Thank you for contacting the Walt Disney World® Resort.

As you are aware, on specified nights, the Magic Kingdom® Park remains open for three additional
hours exclusively for resort guests who have purchased and redeemed special "Magic Kingdom E-Ride
Nights" tickets.

Price: Adults: $12 ($12.72) Children (3-9) $10 ($10.60)

The nine attractions scheduled to operate during "Magic Kingdom E-Ride Nights" are: Space Mountain,
Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, The Haunted
Mansion, Astro Orbiter, Tomorrowland Transit Authority, and The Country Bear Jamboree. Select
dining and merchandise locations will also be open. (All Attractions Subject to Rehabs & Other
Changes)

Current 2004 Dates:

May: 31
June: 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 21, 23, 25, 28, 30
July: 2, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 19, 21, 23, 26, 28, 30

Only Walt Disney World Resort guests who are using multi-day or annual passes for admission to the

only be purchased at Walt Disney World Resort Guest Services Desks, including the Walt Disney World

Please note that the "Magic Kingdom E-Ride Nights" ticket does not provide admission into the Magic
Kingdom Park; it simply allows guests to remain in the park for three extra hours. It must,
therefore, be used in conjunction with the admission media previously mentioned. Guests must
exchange their "Magic Kingdom E-Ride Nights" tickets for wristbands at locations inside the Magic
Kingdom Park.

For more information about this event, please inquire at your resort's Front Desk or Guest Services
location upon arrival.

Can you tell me if there are or will be any e-nights scheduled for June, and, if so, what the times
and dates are or will be?

We will be visiting from June 13-18.

Thank you,

Once again, this is different than what I was told of 7, 9, 11.

Are they messing with our heads? :hyper:

How is it different? Looks the same to me...every MWF.

http://allearsnet.com/tp/etik.htm

All Ears has BOTH June and July dates posted! :Pinkbounc

[sweet maxine]

:confused: I'm pretty sure we visited the Haunted Mansion on E-ride night last summer. Did they just take it off the list or has it been gone? Maybe my memory is not as good as I thought. I remember telling my daughter that it was extra creepy late at night. Is this a different list from last year?

[PirateFan]

I think they open either Haunted Mansion or Pirates for E Nights. Not both. Although, we were there one year and they were both open, but Big Thunder was closed.

[bengalfreak]

Let me see if I have this right. Allears.net states that the park will remain open 3 hours after its stated closing time for an E-ride night. So, on 6/07/04 the park is scheduled to close at 10:00PM, does this mean that the Eride night takes place between 10:00PM and 1:00AM?

[PirateFan]

That is correct. Unless, of course, they change the park hours. Regardless, E Night is 3 hours. Usually when the hours are posted they don't shorten them. They sometimes lengthen due to the crowds. But with Disney, nothing is set in stone (except the sword).

[cindyfan]

Haunted Mansion?
I have seen it on most of the lists I have seen for this summer's E-tickets....so maybe the list you saw it was accidentally left off.

[helenk]

I have never been to WDW when there were 3 e-nights during our stay. This is sooo wonderful, Which one to chose??? Decisions, Decisions Decisions.

[4greatboys]

Why just pick one?? Pick two or three :teeth: There are 3 while we are there. I think we are hitting 2 of them.

[bballmom56]

I noticed it said select dining and merchandise locations would be open. Would we be able to stay in the park to shop and eat if we did not purchase the wristbands? I realize we couldn't go on the rides, but might use that time to shop. It seems like more attractions were listed to be operating under their EMH test program in May that they offer at no extra cost, and less are operating for the e-ride nights for which we do have to pay.

[EEyorelover22]

I called dining to check on a ps and thought I'd ask about e-ride night while I was on the phone.

I asked if I could purchase a ticket before the actual date of the e-ride night and I was told "no". Anyone know if this is correct?

[helenk]

EEyorelover22

You purchase your tickets at your resort, in the past we have gotten ours the day we check in.

4greatboys

Going twice sounds like a good plan, I'm thinking of going on Monday and then again on Friday.
