Explain why MK closes at 7pm in December!! - Page 2 - The DIS Discussion Forums

ksromack · 06-20-2012, 09:26 PM

I have a question regarding Dec and Magic Kingdom. There isn't a fireworks show at the end of the night for those of us NOT attending MVMCP? I wanted to schedule dinner at OHanna's and try to time it with the fireworks...if it's a party night, what time are the fireworks?

There is no regular Wishes show on party nights. On party nights fireworks have historically been at 9:30.

There is no MVMCP Wednesday, Dec 5 yet they do Wishes at 7 and then the park closes. Anyone know why?

I heard there is a press event for the new Fantasyland opening.

Yes

It looks like the OP is going down next week. That is the one week that has only Tuesday and Sat for late hours at MK. I imagine that there are more parties than usual scheduled due to the heavier crowds coming in for the grand opening of FL.
The other weeks are more normal.

No more parties than usual. Just the normal parties plus the early closing the night before the FLE grand opening.

Wishes is at 6 that night.

MK closes at 7pm everyday next week except Mon (EMH) and Sat. next week so that is quite a bit of the week - and there is no MVMCP on Wed. yet they still close at 7pm.
It is a little disappointing to be done for the night so early!

I always thought the opposite. They DO NOT schedule parties when they think it's going to be busy. Which is why they don't have them Christmas week.

Hi, This is why the park hopper option can be useful this time of year, we are not getting it because we have a six year old and our days are short but if you can go all day you can go to which ever park has evening EMH or Epcot. Have fun!

It's just party nights. And yes, if you want to go to the dessert party on a MVMCP night, you must have tickets to MVMCP.

Media event for New Fantasyland (just learned that its official name is "Enchanted Forest")

Correct; thanks.

Will they do the castle light show since the fireworks are so early next Wednesday the 5th?
