Thanks
gobuckeye@wdw said:Actually the majority of the E-Ride night take place during the summer months. Usually the nights fall in peak seaons. If I can remember correctly I believe that the E-Ride nights during the summer are on Monday's, Wednesday's, and Friday's. Usually the first E-Ride nights start taking place in late May and continue through the end of August.
I have one recommendation for E-Ride nights: GET YOUR WRISTBAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!! Usually when I go I gt my wristabnd at around 6:00, which is usually when they start handing them out. If you wait until 1 or 2 hours before the parks ofiical closing time, you and 5,000 other people will be waisting time in an hour long line.
"If" they come back? Are you kidding me? I think that there is no doubt that E-Ride nights are here to stay at WDW. Just immagine how much Disney brings in on these nights. Lets do the math-- 5,000 avail. admissions times $20= $100,000!!!!!! Now I am aware that there are some expenses that have to be factored into the equation such as cast members wages, extra running time, etc. but they still bring in a steady amount!! Also, in the long run E-Ride nights is just another perk that comes along with staying at a WDW Resort. If they were to remove E-Ride nights (which they will not do) there would be no REAL advantage of staying on property other than the convienience of being so close to the parks.PhotoDave219 said:They start at four PM on average for distribution. E Ride nights will probably be announced a month in advance. *IF* they come back, it will be a summertime thing....
But you wouldn't see a big drop in the number of resort guests just because E-rides disappear.gobuckeye@wdw said:"If" they come back? Are you kidding me?

I understnad that you wouldn't see a big drop, but you have to remember it all relates to MARKETING. If you were a consumer and were looking for a place you stay you obviously would go for the place with the most resonible price with the most perks. Whenever a person would see that by staying at a Disney resort they may enter the parks and hour earlier (on select days) and have three more hours in the Magic Kingdom, obvoiusly that is going to be a very attractive perk towards the guests. I could possible see Disney removing the E-ride nights if they were to drastically expand their daily hours, but that would be the only possible senario in my mind.TURKEY said:But you wouldn't see a big drop in the number of resort guests just because E-rides disappear.
Might disappear if they decide to do something with the evening extra magic hours like they did when they tested this year.
People stayed onsite before the extra hour in the am and before enights.gobuckeye@wdw said:I understnad that you wouldn't see a big drop, but you have to remember it all relates to MARKETING.

Just imagine how erronious and incorrect your assumptions are.gobuckeye@wdw said:"If" they come back? Are you kidding me? I think that there is no doubt that E-Ride nights are here to stay at WDW.

LOL, they did when they were 10.00 plus tax.Atta83 said:I stayed one night for e-night and it didnt seem like a lot of people as well. I mean a vast majority of rides are open but I love pirates and its not open. I mean e-nights are nice but they just dont bring in the crowds.
Actually, the theoretical "capacity" for E-Ride is 20,000 guests, but Disney tries to limit the number of guests to around 5,000. This is why they never actually "sell out," per se.PhotoDave219 said:Just imagine how erronious and incorrect your assumptions are.
E-Ride nights rarely sell out. They just dont. Your math is based on a sell-out night, and since they rarely do, your math is grosslyt off-base.
Yes, they mainly have Enights in the summer and they stay open 3 hours after the park closes. Hardly defeats the purpose, the crowds are at a peak in the summer, the extra hours allows onsite guests to enjoy the select rides at the MK.Dayzie914 said:So they still have E ride nights in the summer when they close later (i thought they closed at 11 already and therefore this would defeat the purpose)
