New Extended Evening Hours starting Jan 2025

[Disdreaming479]

Maybe they’re receiving positive feedback about AK EEH recently during the holiday party season.

Could it be related to the After Hours ticketed events at Epcot and MK?

It could be. HS and MK have paid events that week.

Yeah for the 29th I was pretty excited that we could potentially do both EEH at AK and then AH at HS! Maybe they want people to do be able to do that for the MK AH party too.

My family would love EEH at AK and AH party at HS.

So bummed. Going that week and was thrilled about MK extended hours. AK is nice because it isn't super late but it is only going to be 4 rides.

According to Touring Plans, Wednesday 5 Feb will be back at MK as expected.

That's speculation on their part. Disney hasn't announced where it will be that day. It'll appear on the calendar tomorrow. Touring Plans may be right, but they were probably blindsided on the two AK days as much as the rest of us were.

I can't see anything on Disney's official calendar for any of those dates though. It's only from Touring Plans that I've seen the information come through about the AK EEH too

Although that may explain why I could have sworn I saw EPCOT EEH on Touring Plans too to start with. Annoying that they wouldn't just wait 24 hours to advise that park hours have been updated to make sure it's accurate first.

The MDE app shows the furthest dates out. The app shows 70 days out while the website shows 60 days out. today I can see through Feb 4th on the app, so we will know tomorrow in the app

Feel free to comment. Just don't act like you know it all. It turns out those of us who do know it all sometimes don't know it all.

Wednesday February 5 is at Magic Kingdom. Touring Plans was right, but I still think it was an educated guess.

In the MDE app Monday Feb 10th is back to EPCOT EEH.

Why only 4 rides??

Why only 4 rides??

Safari closes early (before dark). No Kali river. That leaves officially 6, but triceratops spin and tough to be a bug are 2 of those 6. Leaves flight of passage, Navi river, Everest, and dinosaur.

Thanks. I didn't realize that. Any idea how to find out what time Safari closes on the date we'll be there? We're planning to hop over in the later afternoon and then utilize the extra 2 hours. I'll want to make sure we head to Safari before it closes down that day.

Not sure how far in advance they post the closing time. Looks like as far out as the calendar goes. Go to the link below and you can change the date. Mon Feb 3 is our extended evening hours at AK and it says it’s open til 5pm that day.

Thanks! Looks like it's 5pm on our day too.

I’m so sad. I actually changed my vacation dates to make sure we got to do the EEH at Epcot on February 3rd. It’s now showing AK on both Disney and Touring plans, but ONLY that Monday. All Mondays before and after are Epcot.
