Why shortened hours on May 16

[katmittens]

Had to change our trip from June to May and noticed on May 16 MK is only opened till 5. Anyone have any ideal why?

My understanding is there is a private party - MGM and Epcot will be zoos b/c of this!

It might be one of those Senior Grad. nights?? Not sure though.

I'm pretty sure that time of year it would be Grad night. I've seen them do that before.

It's not Grad Nite. The dates for Grad Nite are April 23rd, 24th, 30th, and May 1st 2010.

It's reportedly a Travel Agents Convention.

They are closing MK at 8:00 now so that's not much of a difference.

We used to travel during that time frame. There has been a TA convention in May at least since the early 1990s.

Not 8:00, they are closing at 5:00. I figure we will go to MK that day it may not be as busy during the day since they are closing early, but also I want to go to Epcot since it is the last day of Flower and Garden and we arrive on the 15h. and it ends on the 16th. Oh such problems to have.
