Can someone let me know (or direct me to a page with) which attractions often or always have different opening or closing times than the park as a whole?
Thanks in advance! :)
 
In my notes, these are the attractions that do not open right at park opening:

MAGIC KINGDOM
County Bear Jamboree (opens 10:00)
Enchanted Tiki Room (opens 10:00)
Liberty Square Riverboat (opens 11:00)
Monsters Inc Laugh Floor (opens 10:00)
Tom Sawyer's Island (opens 10:00)

EPCOT (Future World)
Turtle Talk (opens 9:40)

HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS
Voyage of the Little Mermaid (opens 9:30 or later)

ANIMAL KINGDOM
Boneyard (opens 10:00)
Rafiki's Planet Watch and Wildlife Express Train (opens 9:30)

This list is a little old. Perhaps someone else might have updates on these?
 
Thanks for the info.
Any other updates? And a few additional questions...

I know Tom Sawyer's Island closes early - is there a set time, or is it at dusk?
Does Jungle Cruise run after dark?
Is the Pirates Adventure game something that can be done anytime (like Sorcerer's) or does it require CM's at some places?
Can you pick up your Sorcerer's of the MK cards anytime?
Is the Walt Disney Railroad closed at certain times (parades, fireworks, etc.)?

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
 
Jungle cruise does run at dark and I believe the train stop running an hour prior to the fireworks at night. Might close a little earlier but I believe it's an hour prior.
 

Jungle Cruise is arguably better after dark. The train stops running before the parades ( it resumes after FOF but not after MSEP).

The Times Guide ( found wherever they provide park maps) will show these times, along with showtimes and open/close times for many of the park eateries.
 
I've heard that the Jungle Cruise at night can be more PG than G. Any ideas about at which point that actually happens? We'll be in MK one evening and were thinking that we'd ride Jungle Cruise then...

Don't believe it.

While it MIGHT be possible for the double entendres to get a bit more close to the line, don't expect it to happen, and certainly not by all Skippers.

And, if something in the narration does go that way, it would not be something a little kid would "get" or about which a grownup would be offended.

Offensiveness would be grounds for dismissal, especially since there would be a boat full of witnesses... many of whom may be recording the proceedings.

Awesome! Thank you! I figured as much because this IS Disney we're talking about... but I just wanted to make sure!
