Any Word on 9/15?

Anyone heard why both parks are closing so early on 9/15/16? DCA is closing at 5:00, Disneyland at 8:00. Just seems early.

I think since its predicted to be the slowest day of the year, they figure everyone will have ridden their favorite rides 5 or 6 times over, it doesn't make sense to stay open any later.

At least that's what I am hoping.

That a typical closing time for Disneyland in the slowest times of the year--maybe an hour earlier than normal. As for DCA, that's earlier than normal so probably some type of private event that booked the park.

That sounds like a great reason (it's our second day there)......I can live with that !

Thanks

Yep, it's just because it's slow but hey, that's why we'll be there!

I think I read somewhere (MousePlanet maybe?) that the 5 PM DCA closing was for a cast member appreciation event. The 8 PM closing time sounds like a typical off-season closing time to me.

8pm is normal for Disneyland during the off season, DCA closing at 5pm usually means that there is a private event that night.

Man, after a whole year of even off-season days being 9-9 each day, going back to 10-8 will be difficult. But it'll be worth it if there's no crowd.

Don't worry, there will still be plenty of things to complain about

I'm still skeptical.

We'll be there that day. I'm kind of excited for the early closures. We'll still have allllll day in the parks, but it'll help to have a decent time to have to go back to the hotel and chill for the night.

I've also heard that it's a cast member event.
