Timing Rides at DCA around WOC?

[lk2500]

I'll be visiting DLR late this June, this will be my 3rd trip.

Last time I was there I got lucky and seemed to hit California Screamin probably on the last ride or so before it closed down due to WOC. I tried to head to DCA at what I thought was the same time the next evening but every ride was already shut down.

Does anybody know what time all the DCA rides shut down for WOC, if any stay open during the shows, and when they reopen and/or what it the best time to get in line for these rides in the evenings?

TIA,

I don't know the time they shut down, but I do know that TSMM stays open during WOC (for shows during normal park hours) and have heard that GSS does also.

Yes, TSMM, Goofy's Sky School AND Little Mermaid all stay open during WoC shows. All other Paradise Pier rides will close before the show and during the shows.

I'm pretty sure once Screamin and Mickey's Fun Wheel are closed for WoC they don't reopen. Not 100% positive, but I seem to recall the other smaller rides reopening in between shows or after the shows, depending on park hours and show schedules.

The rides shut down based on how long of a line they have. For example, if Screamin has an hour long line at 7:45 (for a 9:00 WoC), they'll probably close it at 7:45 to accommodate all of the people in line. If it has a 30 min line at 7:45, they may wait until after 8:00 to close it.
