Final report! - Cant believe I booked Super Bowl weekend -

[HyperspaceMountainPilot]

It looks like the hours for AK these first few weeks of February for Fri/Sat/Sun are 8 am to 8 pm, and sunsets are around 6 pm, so if you're doing AK one of these days, and stay until the end, it would be dark. I was going to do it this Sunday, but I'm not sure we'll last quite that long as temps drop into the 30s. May give it another go on Friday, 2/6.

We spend last weekend (Jan 23-25) at WDW, AK closed at 7pm one night, and sunset was 6PM, we got some gorgeous twilight rides on Everest and it was totally dark when we left right before 7 (huge crowd was watching projections on tree of life).

All this to say, after dark rides on Everest (and presumably night in Pandora) are still possible if you’re willing to go in the middle of winter!

I knew world showcase closed but I had no idea that meant you couldn’t walk through I thought just all the places closed.

I'm about 70% sure that I've walked counter-clockwise out of Remy during the extended evening hours. At least, I think I would have remembered being annoyed that I couldn't.

I thought you were talking about your LLMP for another day. Plus it’s closing permanently very soon.
For EEH, not all rides are open. For example, land@Epcot, Tiana@MK are closed during EEH.

Good my stupidity wasn’t noticed

In fact my impression is that today is the last day to ride Dinosaur.

Kids begged me to fly back this weekend for one last ride on Dinosaur (we’ve already had 4+ “farewell” trips since they announced it was closing 2 years ago)— I was tempted but thought the lines would be 100m long today….I was kind of right

Yep missed that one last ride by just a few days

Ok, but if it was a 180m plus wait (let alone 265!) would you even have done it?

I’m curious how quickly LLs sold out for today and also what the actual LL wait is.

App has Dino holding strong at 235m wait today

I assume at some point they will close the line so they don’t have to keep the park open until midnight?

 

[Brian Noble]

Yeah, I'll be there on the last days of Coaster, but there is no way I am going to try to get on it during the final day of operations. Especially considering Coster is fun and Dinosaur is, well, Dinosaur.

It probably won't be that bad, because (a) Coaster is only a reskin, not a removal, and (b) the Aerosmith preshow is already gone. But, I remember Maelstrom, which was never particularly popular until its closure was announced.

Nope I would not have waited more than 15 min. I would've done LLMP (still salty LLMP didnt go down in price since it closed)

Here I am AGAIN conflating my $26 at Epcot with my $17 at AK. It sucks getting old.

I think I waited longer than 15 with a LL last month

Guys… reports on scene are putting the Dinosaur LL at 90 minutes today.

Wow. Last month was plenty close enough to the end for me to say goodbye. I'm not sure I would do 90 minutes.

Packing themselves in to stay warm!

OMG, I didn’t even think about the weather and that the first 30-60m for LL and first 2-3 hours for standby is probably outside.

I saw a photo of frozen water today at WDW.
