Interesting, DHS hours not extended after the first day...
I also noticed MK’s hours got extended Dec 11 (10 pm/12:00 EMH) and Dec 14 (12:00) so if you factor in my party night that means I get 3 midnight closures at MK this trip! It’s almost like I’m going to DL instead.

I was still hoping for the return of Extra EMH. What a brilliant idea that was.

Or visiting MK during the '80s and '90s, except that you wouldn't have had to pay extra -- and you would have had the Christmas parade during the day -- and you would have had a night-time parade that was free.

It was brilliant for guests because management was wrong about attendance. I'm guessing you'll never see that happen again. I'm sure they regret doing it.

it worked out great for me for the wine/dine half - I got to ride Tower and RnRC during the race

It worked out for all of us who showed up... But the crowds didn't justify the expanded hours in retrospect.it worked out great for me for the wine/dine half - I got to ride Tower and RnRC during the race

Not really, if you were an onsite guest it didnt cost anything more than the loss of sleep. It also was a bonus for all the other guests as well since the onsite guests were done earlier.

One weekday of expanded hours 
Sure, that'll do.

I'm not sure if this info has been revealed yet but, any word when Fastpasses will be made available for Rise of the Resistance? We have our next trip in late January and we can start booking this Wednesday. I imagine there won't be any until closer to my trip anyways but figured I'd ask here. Thanks in advance!

Not by January, certainly.
FP for Galaxy’s Edge is complicated but very long wait times and high demand were exepected to begin the launch of a new on demand pay FP option. With the long waits not happening, plans have/may be adjusted. Stay tuned.
but short answer, no word yet.

Will Rise of the Resistance have single rider?

Not planned to.

More like not able to.
pretty sure that not every car will be sent out with the maximum people (8) thus they could have done a single rider line.

It really wouldn’t work well or be practical for this experience.
There’s a reason (a few actually) Disney generally avoids single rider lines.
