sounds pretty good to me, based on old e-nights anyway
Its sure to be busier than E-nights were because aparently theres not the limited amt of people allowed to attend but Im beting it will be managable nontheless
We are down from 15-23 so we have to replan our days (& nights hehe) but I expect it to be great! I cant wait!

Your Key to the World is your Resort ticket. And this two-week offering will be 3 hours long. Whether or not it will be that long when/if it comes back permanently is what is in the air. They can't really tell the public "up to 3 hours" and then do less than 3 hours for the two-week test.

Yeah, plus in the FAQ they have a quote saying "3 hours at night vs. 1 hr in the morning" I think it will be popular enough. Though, now we're going to have to stay at Disney resorts more often. LOL :)

That is the point ;) Now people have a reason to pay Disney prices.

Re-read the original post. It said "UP TO 3 hours in the evening." Not keeping my fingers crossed. All depends on crowds I guess.

The up to 3 hours statement refers to the future of this Extra Magic Hour offering. On the official release Q&A section from Disney, there is a question "Why is the evening offering three hours as opposed to only one hour in the morning?" That clearly states that at least for the two week test, it will be 3 hours. It is only after this period that it may change (most likely 3 hours in the less busy seasons, less than 3 hours in peak seasons). They also must decide which parks will have the evening offering. For example, I would anticipate very little popularity for the evening hours at Animal Kingdom, as people have no problem seeing all of that park most days outside of peak season, so they may only have Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and MGM included in the final offering's evening hours, whenever they add it (August, maybe??? They seem pretty adamant about having E-Ride Nights for the summer)

Yes. When you get your key, you will notice it has this title on it. Also the resort infomation and your length of stay is printed on the card. Im sure either they will look carefully at the card or swipe it to see if you are eligible. No trying to fool Disney. They are pretty up to date with this stuff.

Again, I'd hope to see some Extra Magic at Night during Christmas time. Yet I do not see it happening b/c of the logistics of it, and the amount of general Guests who are still waiting in line for rides at park closing.

SO...they best allow us some Early Morning Magic time too, give us Christmas travelers something bonus for staying within Disney!

Looks like the formatting didn't hold up in the transfer of this info from the Disney site. Here is a corrected version. No offense ISTCNavigator57! :)

Sunday - Epcot PM
Monday - Animal Kingdom AM
Tuesday - Disney-MGM Studios PM
Wednesday - Epcot AM & Magic Kingdom PM
Thursday - Animal Kingdom PM
Friday - Magic Kingdom AM
Saturday - Disney-MGM Studios AM

I think this is the same as was originally posted earlier in the thread so no changes.

Going 15-22:D Got my postcard (rather large one):eek: last week. It really doesn't give much info. This site contains more info. Plus the post card was very:confused: on the number of hours in the evening. I can't find the card but as I recall it said "at least one hour" whereas the WDW offical site states "three hours".:veryconfu
