Busses to MK on E-ride night?

[snwwhite]

How late do the busses pick up on E-ride night to take people to the MK. I will not be checking in to Pop Century until 9:30 pm on a night when E-ride is from 11pm-2am. Will I still be able to catch a bus at 10 or 10:30pm?

Yes you can. Have fun!

Hi there,

I'm just curious--do you have an annual pass or hopper tickets? According to the cast portal you would need to use your regular ticket that day in order to be eligible to purchase the E-ride night ticket.

"Guests must have used their pass on the day of the event in order to gain entry."

I have an annual pass to get into the parks. If I only had a park hopper pass I wouldn't waste the day just to do e-ride.
Thanks for the responses. I really did not want to drive from Pop Century to the MK that late at night. I would much rather wait for a bus.

Although this may have changed. This is an experience we had getting to e-ride night in 11/99 which was from 8pm to 11pm.

We went to the Studios that morning, then went to the resort for our afternoon break.

At about 7pm we were at the bus stop waiting for a bus to Magic Kingdom from All-Star Music. By 7:45 pm a bus still had not stopped at the Magic Kingdom stop. However, there were several busses marked "Special" that were dropping off folks from the Magic Kingdom, but not taking anyone back.

I finally went in and talked to guest services at All-Stars and got the reply that Magic Kingdom was closing at 8 and I informed them about e-ride night and they acted like they knew nothing about it. Finally, a bus pulled up to the stop and asked where we wanted to go and once again told us that MK closed at 8 and we informed him of e-ride night. He took us himself.

In subsequent e-ride nights we have attended, we have made sure to go back to MK at least two hours before e-ride night begins.

As I said, they may have improved this situation tremendously since then, but you might want to be aware that the parks seem to go into closing mode about 1 hour before closing and it might be hard to get a bus ride in the opposite direction of normal flow.
