Cool Down Party Hours

[magicLAL12]

I just took a closer look at this weekend's guide and noticed that the Cool Down Party hours at DD are only from 4-8pm this year. I feel like last year the hours posted went much later into the night...any thoughts?

I hope this doesn't mean that all of the music/events will actually stop at 8 because we specifically planned on resting/eating later so that we are able to stay up and really enjoy the party this year. Last year, we tried getting there too early and crashed. I'd be bummed if everything is done by 8 now...

Just to add: there seems to be some confusion amongst the Disney sources themselves....

This is from the website: (which doesn't state a definitive event end time)
* Medal must be presented to receive discount. Discount valid only on January 12, 2014 from 4:00 p.m.- 10:30 p.m. All members of the party must be present at the time of purchase. Discounts and offerings are at the discretion of each operating participant. All offers are subject to change.

And this is from the guide (which does):
Medal must be presented to receive discount. Discount valid only on January 12, 2014 from 4:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. All members of the party must be present at the time of purchase. Discounts and offerings are at the discretion of each operating participant. All offers are subject to change....

The quote from the guide you used says 2013. Are you looking at the right source?

Good catch...sorry that was my fault- I had to type the quote in myself since I couldn't get the paragraph to paste from the guide on my work computer... Dang, I probably confused everyone even more. just to be clear, I went & checked again, and I am definitely using the right source
