EMH at DCA coincides with DL opening?

[gottalovepluto]

According to the current calendar, on Fri Nov 4 the EMH at DCA is 9am and the park opening at DL is 9am. DL is open until midnight, it's not a party night, so this makes no sense to me. Can anyone tell me if this is normal? (I've never been to the parks at the beginning of Nov before.) Actually that doesn't even matter- I guess my ultimate question here is has anybody done the parks with EMH on a day with hours like this? Do I need to be there significantly before DCA's EMH rope drop to take advantage? (we usually roll in about 5-15 mins into EMH).

They may be expecting larger crowds for dapper day weekend?

This is pretty normal. DCA normal hours are shorter than DL. Opening an hour later and closing up to 2 hours earlier.

Ok then, thanks! Calming down now. I saw it on the schedule and freaked- oh my gosh change! Lol. I see no logical reason now why it would be any different than any other EMH, more crowded I guess as it's so late in the morning but hey I get to sleep in!

It used to be that way but during 60th they opened at the same time.
