Rivera Studio vs. Pop Century- 1 Night

[buddylee]

We are doing 4 parks in 2 days. Currently staying at Pop Century. But after seeing that the extended magic hours are out for one of the days we are doing the parks I'm tempted to splurge and upgrade to the Rivera. Is it worth an extra 400 bucks to gain 2 hours after hours? Thoughts??

EP or MK for the extended hours? I’m general people are pleased with MK EEH but EP gets mixed reports.

It would be for Magic Kingdom

Not worth it to me. But I think it would be worth it to you. Go for it!

Since you only have two days to do everything I’d do it.

Is there a monorail resort available maybe WL? 400 bucks more for 2 hours extra hours then you still need to wait for bus back. MK .

If you are only upgrading for the extra hours benefit, I would book the cheapest hotel that get the perk - make sure to check rates at Swan/Dolphin/Swan Reserve if interested (book directly on the Marriott site for the best rates)

Two hours of after hours, plus one of the best quick service pizzas on property...

After reading more reviews about these extra magic hours, I'm thinking it may not be worth it. Considering they allow those in the park to obviously get in line for any attraction prior to park close the lines could still be extremely long to which that would eat into the extra time....I think I'll just stay with POP and and make sure to go with the early park entry for onsite guests.

How many persons in your party? We did the extra hours when we were at the contemporary and the park was pretty empty. It was in August though. One question is will you have the energy to do the extra two hours ? Either choice is a good one.
