We plan to visit from April 13 (Sunday) to 21 (Monday) next April. Easter is on March 23 next year.
On Sunday, April 20, I have planned to visit Magic Kingdom (with the assumption that Sunday will still be evening EMH day like it was this April). I thought we would have supper at Liberty Tree at 6 or 7 PM, with the assumption that the park would close at 9 or 10 and then be open for evening EMH.
However, it occured to me today that the day in question will be exactly 4 weeks after Easter Sunday. So I'm thinking it may be more realistic to assume that Magic Kingdom will be open until 6 or 7 that day. First of all, does that sound about right?
Second, what about having supper at 6 or 7? Since evening EMH would allow us to be in the park until 10 PM or so, would Liberty Tree still be open for service at the time that the park would be closing to the rest of the public?
Third, for those of you who are "EMH veterans", how do you think crowds would be at Magic Kingdom on a Sunday evening with extra magic hours 4 weeks after Easter? The easter rush would be over, the kids would mostly be back in school, except for those whose parents pull them out of school to take to WDW and the parks would presumably be alot less busy for this general time period. Should I expect to be able to do alot of rides during the EMH hours?
The whole point of wanting to stay for EMH is to make up for the time lost in the afternoon when we go back to the resort for my wife to rest. This might be our only day at that park (depending on how early we arrive on the previous Sunday, we may go for a few hours then) and if we head back to our resort at around 1 PM or so and don't come back until around supper time, I would like to think I could catch alot of rides during those EMH hours when the rest of the general public has left the park. Only problem is, if you do the math on how many people the various resorts can fit at one time, you could easily end up with enough people to crowd the park just from Disney resort guests. And if they all come flocking to Magic Kingdom during EMH, then so much for making up for lost time from the afternoon.
Also, do they have any Wishes or Spectro Magic showings during the EMH hours? Do the fastpass machines work during EMH hours?
