With $DIS recent moves is there any question that EMH is an endangered species?, possibly to be replaced with various upcharge events.
One park's loss of one night time EMH is not a sign that EMHs is going away. It could be just a temporary transfer of EMHs to AK for when Pandora opens.
But why the need to transfer hours? Once Pandora opens I'm sure it will bring in lots more people (and revenue).

EMH have been endangered ever since Disney introduced Disney After Hours in my opinion. I don't think Disney can afford to cut a resort benefit right now, but depending on how the year goes for them I could see it happening over time.

And, Universal just announced they are offering free parking at their parks to everyone after 6pm, not just pass holders. Disney needs to pay attention!

Take a look at one of the posts in this thread I'm too lazy to look it up but they were there for 9 days over the past holiday season and there were a total of 3 EMH days over all 4 parks. That kind of tells you where Disney is going i.e. much shorter park hours and 'Disney After Hours' hard ticket events.
I can remember a time when MK/EPCOT were usually open to 11-12PM, While AK is beautiful at night most of the animals become less active at night and I can see why the park closes early RoL and more dining in Harambe should keep at least Africa open till 9.
But now it's all about Revenue Generation and Guest experience has been tossed in the dustbin of history

Disney generally has free parking later at night but it seems like it's not a hard and fast rule.

Doesn't Universal close at 7:00 p.m.?

correct, but City Walk doesnt. They must be trying to lessen the burn of Disney Springs.

For now, but since it was just announced one could assume it will remain when the weather starts to warm up and the parks extend their evening hours...... and Volcano Bay opens.

That's still more about CityWalk and less about the theme parks. How many non-AP's are showing up to the parks after 6:00? This just keeps them in line with the free parking at Disney Springs.
I haven't used EMH (particularly evening) in years since I have younger kids. Still a shame to see it cut back or eventually lost altogether, especially if hard ticket events are the replacement. Hopefully Disney's occupancy rate will suffer so they can learn a lesson, but only time will tell.
