MK until midnight with kids?

It really depends on your kids.

My kids are night owls. They prefer to stay up late and sleep in. Doing PM EMH until 2-3 am is not a problem as long as the next day is sleep in day.

They do get up for rope drop in WDW without issues most days. I do have rest days built in so they can get their sleep in fix.

Even though my kids are older now, we still plan a sleep in day after a late night. Mostly for Dad's sake LOL!! He much prefers slower mornings.

One trip, kids were 8 and 9. We stayed until 2am for EMH. It was amazing! Mom and Dad were tired from about 11pm onwards but kids were still running around hyper. At 1am, Mickey surprised us with a massive ice cream sundae (presented by a CM) as we walked through an empty Fantasyland. The kids were so thrilled

What made that day work was we went back to the hotel for an afternoon rest. I did push it a little long "just one more ride" syndrome so we were wiped by the time we left.

I had to ban afternoon naps for my kids though. They are horribly cranky for hours after they wake up. They watch TV while Mom and Dad nap. Dad in particular really needs his afternoon naps
