Well considering Epcot is becoming MK 2.0...I hope AK doesn't become Epcot 2.0.. I'm okay with the drinks and food, in fact I welcome it, but Disney cannot be all about that as they need things to differentiate each park.

to be fair, AK has quite the drink and snack selections now - lots of good beers and mixed drinks and dole whip with rum, etc. ... I found that really added to the atmosphere of AK at night - grab a drink watch a dj or another musical act, etc.
Our AK day is 10/27, so we're keeping our fingers crossed!
Rivers of light doesn't have an opening date yet so the hours won't be for that.Came across this last night....https://business.facebook.com/notes.../1140608052644145?business_id=968654476506171
Makes me wonder if the late closing times for AK are for ROL or just extended hours for the Wine and Dine crowd.

11pm is a bold guess... Epcot hardly closes past 9pm and it has the food/drink/merchandise to keep people around, AK does not. I'd be surprised to see AK open past 9pm most nights this fall/winter except for the busy 2 week Holiday period.

I also don't see ROL to be enough to draw peopel to want to be around until 11. When it comes down to it, there isn't that much to do at AK at night so see the tree, see the show, ride the couple rides and you've run out of things.
I would be thrilled with 8. because sunset is so early in december (5:30) I am afraid they'd keep it at 7I was figuring 8pm for early December and maybe later for the Christmas crowds. 9-10pm would be awesome.

I hope so too. with nighttime entertainment so early at DS and parties happening half the time at MK the nighttime stuff is very limited otherwise.I'm hoping the change from 6pm to 7pm was strictly for the night time hours and they will change that to 8pm when ROL officially opens.

We will @ AK this day too! Through Oct, hoping it may debut in time.
I would think the main problem with Rivers of Light will be capacity. Don't see how it can absorb all the people who watch the Electric Parade if it is meant as a replacement for night time entertainment.Wow, we will be there the same day also.
Really hoping ROL is running. With MK losing MSEP on Oct. 9th and nothing planned to replace we hope that is a good sign that Disney plans on having it running to give guest another night time show.
