Anyone know why MK closing at 4:30 on 11/30/17?

Official hours aren't yet released, but Touring Plans won't let me plan past that time for MK and another site also stated the park is closing at 4:30. Any ideas on why that would be (or if it's true?)

There was an early close earlier in November last year for a cast member appreciation event. Maybe that's when it is this year?

Hmmm, I wonder when they'll confirm? I don't need to plan every day of the trip this far out, but this does impact ADRs which I can book in a few weeks.

It seems like it took a while to hear firm information on that event last year. I would plan on it closing at 4:30 and make ADR's accordingly. I would also probably work up some contingency plans in case that time changes.

Yes it very well could be for the CM holiday/appreciation party they have each year around that time.

Oh by the way I'll be there at the same time God willing (hoping to not have to cancel for many reasons) 11/29-12/12.

Oh that's funny! Well I'll keep my fingers crossed you're able to go. We've never been to WDW at Christmastime and I can't wait!

We love it it's our favorite time to go. Just miss the Osborne Lights those were amazing! But that's okay I still have the Castle lights.

I will also be there on that day. It seems like a weird week to have an early closure. I'll just make sure to plan a different park that day!

Does anyone know if they still have fireworks during the cast member appreciation party?

Yes they usually do from what I can remember.
