E-Ride night, fireworks, and Early Entry ?s

[HyattVacationClub]

Hello everyone!

Just a few quick ?s re: our upcoming trip because I cannot find the answers EASILY
(though I know this smart bunch will have the answer at their fingertips).

1. We will be at WDW from March 6-13. Does anyone know if the Magic Kingdom (or any other park) will be offering E-ride night? I know they were done away with in 2002 but I heard rumor they are back.

If so, what nights and what theme parks have the E-Ride night and how does one go about securing the tickets?

2. I understand that the MK will be closing at 8pm on March 9th (7pm all the other weeknights that week). So, do the fireworks begin at precisely closing time (or before)? How about the evening parade? If I recall, the parade starts first and then the fireworks begin shortly after that.

3). Lastly, do folks recommend avoiding early entry days? I read in Unoffiicial Guide that swarms of people now go to early entry day and it's best to avoid that park on that day. What do you think?

Many thanks in advance!!!!

1) From reading other posts there are no e-nights scheduled for March, April or May.

2) I checked the hours for March on the offical website and they have no Spectro Magic Parade listed for March 9th It looks as though your only night will be the 6th. Wishes is scheduled for every night.
Wishes, if it is like the old fireworks will begin right on the time indicated, by then Spectro has completed it way through the parade route and you have time to stake out a spot for to see the fireworks display.

3) I like to use the early entry, I go to the park that is designated for the early entry, do what I want to do, then I take a break for a snack . If it is MK I usually will then leave to head to another park because the MK does get busy.

You must not have checked the hours recently. Actually, MK is open every night the second week of March til 8pm except for Wednesday when it is open til 9pm. Just a heads up.

Thanks for the heads up! I printed out the calendar back on Jan 11 so it defintely pays to recheck times, etc.

By the way, you are correct about MKbeing open until 8PM every night except for Weds, March 10. HOWEVER,
the official calendar I see says MK is open until 7pm...not 9 pm.

Thanks again!!!

Ooops, sorry. Guess I read that day wrong or it was wishful thinking. We will be there at he same time. I wish they were having an e-night or two though.
