[BluesTravlr00]

little more help please if anyone doesn't mind!

my trip is coming up next week. tentative plans look like this:

sunday - MGM
monday - MK
tuesday - Epcot
wednesday - to be determined

questions:

1. which parks are open extra hours and on which days/nights for resort guests?

2. are any of the major rides currently closed? i'm especially hoping to hit Mission Space and Spaceship Earth, among others.


thanks!

http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/dec06.cfm?requesttimeout=1000 lists the park times and extra magic hours.

I think all rides are open except for Monster Inc. Laugh floor which doesn't officially open until January

thanks very much!


i'm looking at this calendar...

i see the times in orange and green, which indicates early and late hours, respectively. but do the times on the calendar *include* the extra hours? or if it says 9-7 in green, does that actually mean 9-10 for park guests?


*edit*
AND, if a park is open late at night just for resort guests, how do they make sure the non-wdw-resorters leave?

You have to get a wrist band (available at several points around each park) to stay in the park and they usher people with out them out. They are pretty good about checking for bands as you get on rides.

You are correct that the time listed is the time without the EMH added in. So tack the extra time onto that. I believe it's one hour if you are doing early morning, and 3 hours if staying open at night. I'll be there with my family over basically the same time frame. Dec 17th-22. See you there!

I don't know when the extra hours are or what kind of tickets you have(whether or not you have park hopper tickets), but we have found it's better to do Epcot on Monday and MK on Tuesday.(crowd wise)

Remember, MK will be closing early on Monday and Tuesday for MVMCP. Have a great time!

We'll see ya there
We leave in 2 days and cant wait to use those EMH!!!

ok, sorry to keep asking the same questions, but is that to say (based on the calendar) that MK will be open until 1am for resort guests on the 17th?

1am in the parks seems unreal

 

[blessedby3]

Yep and we are hoping to be able to enjoy it up until 1:00am!!!
