??? about hrs at MK

[cristen]

I noticed the hrs for April are up. Can anyone tell me why the MK hrs are longer on Tues and Thurs only? I am not sure how they decide when to keep the parks open until. Thanks

Over 30 years worth of historical attendance data for the parks plus expected occupancy levels for on-site resorts plus accommodation for any events occurring on-property plus a little guesswork.

I'm sure there are times where WDW has made poor decisions in respect to the attendance levels on a given day. But generally speaking if park hours are short, crowds are not projected to be very large.
