For the moth of October, it looks like Fantasmic is scheduled at 8 every night, but the park closes at 7:30. Does anyone know what this means? Does this mean I have to go the one night that there are EMH at DHS to see it? I would rather go to a different park that day, but if it is the only time to catch it I will go.

Very common. Most who go to Fantasmic are in line for it before park close anyway. Everything but Fantasmic (and various shops) close when the park does.
 
I think that is odd, also. On one of our nights, the park closes at 7:30 and EMH are supposed to be from 7:30-9:30. However, if we see Fantasmic, which we are planning on doing and which starts at 8, we really won't get much out of EMH.

Seems odd to say that resort guests get the special benefit of getting to stay from 7:30 to 9:30 when every park guest can actually watch Fantasmic and not begin making their way out of the park until 8:30.

I know we could skip Fantasmic and ride, which non-onsite guests cannot do, but Fantasmic is our favorite thing about HS.
 
Thanks for the feedback. I suspect we will pick a different night to go and maybe hit the MNSSHP the night that DHS has EMH. Should be less crowded.
 

Park hours will potable change. August hours changed last week.

But, non-WDW resort guests can't ride any other attractions at or after 8:30PM either.

The reason F! must start at 8:00PM is that the sky won't be dark until then.

That's true, too.
They add hours and events every single month.

We just don't know the dates and/or parks until it happens.

That makes perfect sense. I just wish they would close the park at 8:30 and have EMH from 8:30 until 10:30. That would be awesome.
