June 2016 MK Park Hours.... 10 pm closing times; Is this pay more get less?

[epcotty]

Our trip is June 2016. Every previous June trip we have gone on, MK would close at midnight or later. We are super night owls and plan accordingly and love the cooler late nights at MK!. I sent a polite email voicing my concern, as the official calendars still show 10 pm. The response I received was:

"Thank you for your email to the Walt Disney World® Resort. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us.

We are sorry for the disappointments you mentioned in your email. It is our goal to create magical memories and exceed the expectations of our Guests during each and every interaction that you have with us. Please be assured that we have shared your comments with our leadership team, along with the appropriate management, as feedback such as yours is taken very seriously.

At this time, we do not expect to see a change in our Theme Park operating Hours. In order to assure the most timely and up-to-date Theme Park schedule information, while on our website select "Parks & Tickets" from the Home Page, then "More Park Hours." Enter the date you will be visiting. You will be able to see all Theme Park hours, as well as Extra Magic Hours.

Once again, thank you for contacting us. We sincerely hope that we will have an opportunity to entertain you soon.

Sincerely,"

How disappointing
So how many of the 6 remaining non-EMH evenings are they going to sell each week? My guess is all 6. Curses and bleh to them...
I mean really really money grubbing disappointing

Actual translation:
"It is our goal to create as much money as possible for us while minimizing our expenses. Please be assured that the leadership and management don't care. We hope you won't be disappointed enough to stop coming back."

I wouldn't expect the hours to increase, especially with them cutting costs wherever possible now. You're absolutely right, they're now really really money grubbing

While I do agree they are money grubbing, I disagree that hours won't increase. Just look to May. Most MK days close at 11 or 12. There would be absolutely no reason for June to close earlier than May. For one, they are in the same financial quarter...so if they weren't going to do it for June, I doubt they would've for May. The new May hours were released mid April. We haven't yet gotten to mid May yet, so I really think people are jumping the gun a bit here.

Of course, this is only my opinion based on research and logic. Whether or not Disney uses either is a mystery.

Just checked the disney website. It's showing closing times of 11pm or 12am for June with emh on Wednesdays from 11-1. Still not open as late as previous years in June though.
