EE night in value season - am I dreaming?

[DNBois]

The past three times DH and I have gone we have always missed the MK EE night; last year, MK had a EE night on May 10th and of course, we had to leave that day

Does anyone ever remember if MK had a EE night in Sept. - I'm sure the lines will be short and we will get to go on the rides more than we ever had but we just want one EE night - am I dreaming or is this a possibility???

The purpose of the Eride nights is to allow resort guests time to get on the Big ticket attractions with a limited wait time. Because of this they are not usually offered during the slow season as it is not a good economical decision. While the park is open in the slow season you have ample time to ride the rides with virtually no line at all. I won't say they would never do an e ride during the slow season, but I have never seen one during that time period.

sure you're not confusing Early Entry (EE) with e-ride nights? Early entry is available much more often then e-ride nights.

Here is a link to Deb Wills' site it show the historical dates for E-nights.
The last E-night held in September was in 2001

The ironic thing is that originally, the E-Ride night was designed for the off-season, when the parks would close early. It was kind of a "pay-as-you-go" sort of thing, where Disney could get some revenue from people willing to pay a premium to keep the park open later.

This has completely been reversed, and now you can never get an E-Ride in the off season.

I don't think you'll be seeing any Enights in value season anytime soon-- I'm sorry to say. They typically are only seen during peak season.

No enights but EE mornings. You don't need it though cause the longest line is like 15 minutes tops most are 5 minutes and under.

I miss off-season e-nights. We loved them as they gave you an opportunity to stay in the Park at night when it closed so early.....

Sorry about the confusion - and yes, I did mean E-ride nights not EE. . . one can always dream, right???

A few years ago we purchased tickets for Night of Joy (which is a bit more than E-ride night) because they kept the major rides open just like an E-ride night. There are three of these nights offered in Sept here is the link

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that remembers that. Now the party line is that e-nights are to help combat the crowds and you really don't need it during the off-season. Ya gotta love the way Disney spins things.
