September MK Hours updated

[Lesley Wake]

They just updated September MK closing times. Lots of variation!
Sunday: 7pm (party night)
Monday: 10pm
Tuesday: 7pm (party night)
Wednesday: 9pm, with EMH until 11pm
Thursday: 9pm
Friday: 7pm (party night)
Saturday: 11pm

OUAT is at 9:45 on late nights and 8:30 (pre fireworks) on early nights.

I'm a bit annoyed at the Wednesday EMH. With fireworks not starting until 9, that means you lose 30 min of EMH watching them. Then you still have to contend with lots of park crowds.

Edit: info came from official Disney website. Also it appears not every day has been updated-some later September days aren't up yet.

Hmm, there's some slight variation for my trip. Glad I waited until today to update my spreadsheet as the final version!

Labor Day and the few days after are still the same. Boo

Ugh, i was really hoping the Wednesday hours would change! What a bummer.

Here's what it is with respects to just my trip (but I'm also going to Universal so what I'm listing is all park days including WDW and USO).

MK has 11pm close time instead of 9pm on Saturday September 9th
MK has 10pm close time instead of 9pm on Monday September 11th
MK has 11pm close time instead of 9pm on Saturday September 16th

*Wednesday September 13th closes at 9pm but has EMH from 9pm-11pm--these hrs haven't changed in a while*
*Thursday September 14th remains at 9pm*

Sunday September 10th, Tuesday September September 12th and Friday September 15th are MNSSHP so park closes at 7pm.

AK is still at this point just 9pm with no additional nighttime EMH announced at this time.

Touring plans has the crowd levels low at this point other than Saturday the 9th which is listed as a 5 for MK, Monday the 11th which is listed as a 4 for MK and Saturday the 16th which is listed as a 6 for MK, but I will be interested to see what it's like when we're there and what the crowd calendar is updated with ones those days have past (given past records I'm assuming they will update the crowd calendar once the day has passed).

Universal also slightly updated their hrs for my trip as well.

Was thrilled to see the hours extended on Labor Day weekend (Sat. and Sun.) but down that they didn't for Labor Day. That is our last park day. Guess we will hang out in MK until they kick us out.

I did think it was odd that it closes at 9pm on Labor Day or rather that they haven't extended it past 9pm. But then again I haven't tracked the hours over the years for Labor Day itself.

So do these extended hours for Labor Day weekend mean that the crowds are gonna be crazy?

 

[JerseyJanice]

May I ask where you got the info?

 

[Mrs Grumpy]

Disney's website.

If you're talking about park hours--it's on Disney's website along with when Once Upon a Time projection show is and Happily Ever After fireworks show.

 

[JerseyJanice]

Thank you!

Awesome, I had scheduled hopping MK to the evening. Nice to have the extra hour!

Me too I was hoping for 10pm close and EMH til 12am like last year

I know-me too! Especially because that day we will be doing the fireworks dessert party with garden plaza viewing. Don't know how it works with the projection show first-I'm not sure if you can see the castle from the upper Terrace area, and don't know if we'll want to leave the dessert party halfway through. We are doing Saturday night too when we're hoping to just be in the regular hub area, but we will need to get from BOG dinner.

They are open EMH until 11 one night while I'm there in Sept. which is plenty late for me so I'm happy.

I'm a little disappointed that Pandora hours still haven't been updated. Years and years of work and anticipation for a night-time land, to be able to experience it for less than an hour.

My experience in 2012 2015 2016 is that Saturday and Sunday of Labor Day weekend is significantly more crowded than the days prior and after.

It's disappointing and perplexing. I have a 2 week trip 8/26 -9/9 and there is not even one evening EMH. At this point though, I have my plans set so I'm not sure I could go if they added it anyway. Plus, if they did add one I imagine it would be way too crowded

We're doing the dessert party on 9/20 and it was extended from 8pm to 9pm. But the firework party still says 645pm. Will that change?
