If you could have the Magic Kingdom all to yourself ...

I didn't vote because I find the prospect of having the park to myself creepy to the point of feeling I'm the sole survivor of an apocalyptic event.
Or thinking the zombies will come out to eat my brain.

I remember the pre-cursor to EMH, the E Ticket Nights at the Magic Kingdom, circa 2000. Resort guests could purchase a ticket for about $12 that acted similarly to the EMH nights. You'd get a wristband at select locations when you turned in your ticket.

Back then, Disney did not oversell the tickets, so you literally felt you were alone in the park at times. Let me tell you, the walk through Frontierland in the dark to get to Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain...super creepy in the extreme. I would see maybe a handful of others as I was walking.

It was fun having a bunch of walk on attractions available to us, but I would prefer the delicate balance of having enough people in the park to make it more festive without bottlenecking the attractions.

I actually chose AK. It's the only park we haven't been able to do everything that we want because it gets too hot, then we get tired and don't walk as fast. Plus it's really crowded since the paths are narrower so we can't move as fast. Those combined with the fact that AK closes earlier than the other parks... it would be nice to not have anyone else there and just do what we want when we want it.

I picked Magic Kingdom because the Kingdom is usually busy or crowded. I like it when it's quieter. I love to meander Main Street and enjoy shopping when there's hardly anyone there.

I also love riding Fantasyland with no lines. I did EMH early morning at the Kingdom and it was fabulous. I rode all the rides in Fantasyland. I rode Peter Pan twice.

A WDW trip doesn't go by when I'm not in the Magic Kingdom "dreaming" of an empty park. How great would it be to be so rich, you could close down the Magic Kingdom (or any other WDW park) and have the park all to yourself. No lines, no other guests, only pure Disney magic. Am I the only one???????

What would you do if you could have the Magic Kingdom all to yourself?

You don't HAVE to be rich...just being a night owl helps sometimes...we went in early May and were surprised with midnight MK closing time on our last night (everything I had seen said 11p until we got to the park and it said 12a) The place cleared out after wishes (around 10:30) and we had the last hour and a half to do whatever we wanted. We rode all of our favorite rides in that 90 mins. I think we counted up and we rode 8 rides after Wishes. The park wasn't totally empty but might as well have been. We walked right on to every single ride in Fantasy Land (including Dumbo at 11:59P). We got to ride Dumbo as our last ride and then as we were walking out we took photos in front of the lit up castle with NO ONE else behind us!! It was the most magical ending to our magical trip and something we will never forget!

I vote for MK, hands down

I went down shortly after 9/11, just about when planes were allowed to start flying again. I was walking up Main Street in MK about 10am and all of a sudden realized there was nobody. I looked up and down the street and didn't see a living soul, guest or CM. It only lasted a minute but it was really weird
