Extra Magic hours at AK.......help!

[Debs Hill]

Could anyone tell me what the extra evening magic hours have been/are likely to be in July and which attractions are open? Want to make reservations for Jiko to combine with an evening at AK, but need to know the times!!
Also, how crowded does it get? Average wait times?!!
Thanks

I think they're always 3 hrs added to the regular closing time. Whats open seems to depend on the time of yr. We went Sept 9-17th and there wasn't much open. No extra shows, no safari, no trails. I remember having a choice of dino, primevil whirl, tricerotops spin, boneyard, and maybe kali. The games by primevil were open but I only remember one restaurant being open and alot of the stands were also closed. This was value season and all of the parks were basically empty until Sat the 17th. I've seen threads where people have gone at more popular times and found more things open. Guess it all depends on when you go.

Thanks for that. Has anyone out there been at a busy time of year? Would love to hear your experiences

We were there for evening EMH at AK Thanksgiving week. There were 4 CS restaurants open; Lion King and Tarzan Rocks shows were presented; rides open were Primeval Whirl, Tricerotops Spin, Kali River Rapids (brrr), Dinosaur (scheduled to be open, but broken.) Characters were also out for meet and greets. We got a family picture with Mickey AND Minnie TOGETHER next to Island Mercantile. CM told DH they're usually only available for joint photos at EMHs.

Thanks for that. What time did the extra hours start and finish? what were the crowds like? Character interaction sounds good!!!

...all of the parks had all of their 'popular' rides open for attractions. Plus extra parades were added and also counter service restaurants were open. We didn't stay at AK for EMH because it was open till 7 in July so we didn't need to. We did stay for MK extra magic hours and almost EVERYTHING was open, it didn't even look like the park had closed!
