Week of March 6th MK closes at 8:00 every night? UPDATE: 11:00 PM NOW

This is awesome! I'm excited to see Epcot opening at 9am instead of 10. Plus Animal kingdom closing at 8:30pm instead of 7. Yippee!

Probably expecting it to be busier then normal

Ahhhh I finally get to see Pandora at night yasssss

But now we're going to be at MK so late on Wednesday (1AM :O Wow) that I'm not sure what to do with myself after the fireworks lol. All the other parks close at 8:30/9, so can't really hop anywhere. Might go to Disney Springs. Maybe get some food at a monorail resort. Hmmmmmmm.

Will additional ADRs be added during these extra hours at MK (between 8-11)?

Touring Plans has the parks at 9s and 10s for most of that week. Good thing we were planning on hanging out at club level and taking it easy most of the time. Yikes.

March is prime spring break season. Lots of schools are out across the Southeast.

Disney blocked out the week of March 13 for many Florida resident annual passes, which may help a little, but its a busy time.

I wonder if garden grill can do breakfast now that Epcot is opening earlier...

Hours for Mar 6-12 have been updated to MK closing at 11pm and the Deluxe EH was extended to 1am.

This is so awesome. I'm not going to be there during that time, but my best WDW memory was back in 2017 and walking through Fantasyland at like midnight during EMH. Glad to see park hours expanding again.

Just saw this...rearranging some plans again for trip 3/1 - 3/9.....UGH!

We always go the first full week of March (unless the first full week starts on Sunday the 1st, then it’s the 2nd full week). It has never been forecast 9s and 10s, and the crowds have never been that high. I’m very curious to see what that looks like. We go several times a year, so getting on the most rides isn’t a big deal to us; going with the flow will be just fine (even if it will have to be just fine). At least we won’t be wasting $ on Genie+!

edit: Sorry, didn’t mean to respond to you specifically!

Nooooo! I hate planning my meals around park hours and extended evening hours to have this happen when it’s too late to change meals. I scheduled 6 pm at Steakhouse 71 on the MK night to be able to walk over for 8-10 pm extended hours and get so many rides done. We can’t stay awake until midnight with early morning plans the next morning.

I can’t stay awake from 11pm-1am even without early morning plans the next morning. It kind of ruined our plans for that day as well. We had late dinner plans at The Plaza with the intent to miss the fireworks crowds before heading out to the rides.

And if you visit the Canadian boards, you'll see just how many Canadians are getting down there in March. After 2 years of being trapped and now our land border is finally opened again to the US for recreational travel. . . there's an avalanche of Canadian coming to Florida during our March Breaks.

Technically we’ve been able to fly to Disney this whole time by plane and then by land as of November 2021. Canadians are just fed up enough now they don’t care, lol. Also our March break lines up with the USs. We were there in September and will be again in 2 weeks, cannot wait to get out of all this snow and cold.

Yes. It takes time to plan a vacation, so when the land border opened in November people immediately started to plan for March - it was too late to plan for Christmas break at that point. A lot more people seem to be driving down since no test is required to cross, unlike how flying has been.

Agreed, we flew from Toronto in September since we had no choice and when we booked this trip we originally booked out of Toronto again but I hate that airport,we’ve always flown from Buffalo, and changed to Buffalo. It’s so much easier for us to drive across, we are 40-45 mins from the border. We do still have to test to come back home though so that part can’t be avoided.
