Hours (help needed)

[Sdolores]

Hello, fellow disboarders.....I have a question and I am looking for some enlightenment from a vet. I am going in June (24-29) and the hours have been posted. It looks like every park closes at 9pm, except MK (10p). It doesn't even get dark until 8:30. As we get closer, is there a good chance that these times will be extended? As of today, there are only 2 EMH (Epcot 9-11 and MK 10-12). I ASSUME this is because they want to sell Extra Evening Magic to people? Thanks for the input

I still have my Wedding newsletter that I did in March of 2014 for our wedding guest with times of the park, and MK was open until 1 am, 12 am on Saturday. Epcot was open until 9 PM, HS was open until 9:30 pm and AK was open until 8 PM.

Disney has been in a pattern of posting a rather skeleton set of hours at first and then they'll do a larger update around the first or second week of the month covering the following month. They can change things at any time but this 'larger' update tends to happen around that time. Most of the changes tend to be a MK, followed by more minor changes at DHS & DAK.

The more or less 'normal' EMH pattern is:

Sunday - DHS AM
Monday - DAK AM
Tuesday - Epcot PM
Wednesday - MK PM
Thursday - Epcot AM
Friday - MK AM
Saturday - DAK AM

But there can be exceptions, they can shift EMH's around, they can add special series of EMH dates, etc.

Don't sweat it... Disney always starts with very limited hours at 6months and gradually expands the hours 2-4 times as the date approaches. If they expect especially heavy crowds you may even see hours at AK and MK start as early as 7AM... Evening hours are most commonly added to MK often as late as 11, 12, or even 1AM... On our Dec trip EMH got added at MK and AK on several days about 1.5-2 months out... The most abridged hours that are least likely to change are DHS, as early as 8PM with the limited attractions and the SWGE construction most people clear out by early afternoon. EP has the most predictable hours. 95% of the time it is 9-9:30 It usually stays open late on Tuesday Night for EMH and opens early Thur morning for EMH on all but the busiest holidays (Christmas-NYE, Easter, July 4th, Memorial Day)
