EMH - no sooner than two hours before regular park closing

[Me2Me]

I'm not clear on how long I have to get a wristband.

If MK regularly closes at 9pm (but then has a 3hr EMH) it appers that I can't get a wristband before 7pm.
--When do they stop giving out wristbands?
--If I was going to park hop is there a certain time that I need to get to MK to get a wristband ? Could I show up at 9pm and get a wristband? Could I show up at 11pm and get a wristband?

Thanks for your help.

Q. What credentials do I need to take advantage of the evening Extra Magic Hours benefit?
A. A valid theme park ticket and Resort I.D. are required. For the evening Extra Magic Hours benefit, you also need to use your Resort I.D. to pick up a wristband at select locations in the Theme Park. Wristbands may be picked up at select locations in the Theme Park that is open for Extra Magic Hours no sooner than two hours before regular park closing. Wristbands are not needed for the morning Extra Magic Hours benefit.

Looks like this is already being answered in the post called "confused"

I believe that is the way it started out but last week they were handing them out beginning in the afternoon. We got one at AK around 2 p.m. and we got one at MK around 4 p.m. We got one at MGM at around 5 p.m. I think they might have decided to scrap the idea of giving them out so late in the day because it takes too long.

I think I had read somewhere on the boards that they are giving them out as early as the morning at Guest Services. We went to MK's EMH evening last week, and the line was kinda long at 6:30 p.m. when we got there. It's not a quick process, so I would ask a CM when you arrive at the park how early you can get the wristband so you can save yourself some time.

Interesting i hope they (cm) do that in September!

Tip - we got ours at the entrance to MK on Wednesday afternoon around 6:00. The line was long. We passed another station by the castle and the cm's were just standing there, no line.

Are there a limited number of wristbands given out for the extended hours in the evening? Do they do this is June? What would the hours be for Thur. June 9 - Sun. June 12?
