We're planning to take advantage of 2 e-nights during our August trip when MK normally closes at 10 p.m. We'd like to be able to see a few attractions before e-night starts.

What time do you think we'd need to arrive to finish the following series before each e-night?

Monday evening before e-Night: Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Carribbean, Enchanted Tiki Room, Swiss Family Treehouse, Magic Carpets of Aladdin, Wishes.

Wednesday evening before e-Night: Liberty Belle Riverboat, Hall of Presidents, Mad Tea Party, Goofy's Barnstormer, Tomorrowland Speedway, The Timekeeper (if open), Tomorrowland Transit Authority, and AstroOrbiter.

We'll be napping before e-night and sleeping in the next morning - so we won't be burning the candle at both ends.

Do you think if we arrive by 7 p.m. each evening, we'd be able to get everything done and last til 1 a.m.?
 
I think you might not be able to get all those things done although we did get some things done when we arrived before E-night.

I know that Tiki closes before the park does maybe 8 or so. But you might be able to do the Adventureland ones before the closing.

Your Wednesday before seems pretty crowded to me, many of those things are long in nature for one things. Just to let you know, the Speedway had lines right up until closing, we never thought it could be easily walked on and finished, even during parades. Tea Party does thin out right before wishes.


Hope this helps a little. I would try to do as much as I could on Monday and then see what you can do on Wednesday before enight.
 
I also doubt you can get that stuff done before enight- but if you forgo the parade and fireworks you might do it.

We did all the other stuff in one EMH morning- this may be a better option for you since you are a resort guest. We were out by noonish. Just set up your touring schedule to start with stuff in Tommorrowland (Astro first then the cars) and Fantasyland- then go to Adventureland. Barnstormer is the only thing you will have to wait for I think (we didn't do that). I would put that in before Liberty Square stuff.

I did notice the lines for Speedway were 30-40 minutes in the early evening, my guess is they would be worse for Jungle Cruise- but I didn't look. My 2 cents worth :)

Blessings.
 
Does the Riverboat close early??? I don't remember seeing it operate after dark, but I wasn't really looking, either!!!

For Monday nights plan- I think only the Jungle Cruise would be a problem. I doubt there would be any fastpasses available, but definately check. If not, save it until last....you might have a short wait, but I think it's worth it!!! I have never done this in the dark, and will be planning to try it next summer!!!

For Wednesday nights plan- I think the others comments are right on...

Have a great time!!!!
 

We just got back and did e-night on Friday. We got to the park around 6 p.m. and rode Jungle Cruise, Tea Cups, Indy cars, Haunted Mansion, and Dumbo before we sat down at 8:00 for Spectromagic and fireworks. We walked onto JC, Haunted Mansion, and Tea Cups and less than a 15 minute wait for Dumbo and Indy .

The last river boat was at 8:00.

E-night was great! We rode every ride once and did Buzz, Splash and Thunder twice. Well worth the money.
 
Thanks for the heads up on the early closings for Tiki birds and Riverboat. We don't plan on sitting for Spectro either night so I'm hoping that we'll be able to maximize those couple of hours before e-night.
