News Early close for Magic Kingdom on Monday December 2

[Sweet Thing]

Couldn't the cast event be held at AK instead? I'm sure they can have a good time and guests don't have to deal with MK closing at 430pm on the affected day. If Chapek shows up, will the cast give him some feedback?

They change the venue every five years. It used to be held in resort ballrooms. Five years ago it was at DHS. In the next year or so it will be at a different park.

IT is great having it in the parks ,because nearly all the rides are open.

Don't drink and drive/ must have been a better idea when they had at the resort hotels.

I do not drink or drive so that is never an issue for me.

You don't drive, so how to you get around Orlando ?

I live in Orlando area and you do not need to drive to get around just saying.Not sure why it matters anyways .

This is what the main entrance banners for the event looked like.

Proof that they save everything. Somewhere there must be a swan boat...

Is this a sudden closing or did we know about it 60 days in advance?

This was known about back in August at least, so way ahead of FP booking. Even before that there were clues that something was happening, in that you couldn’t book ADRs in MK for the evening.

Not quite sure why suddenly this seems to be “news”. I think there were threads about it on here, but there certainly were on Touring Plans and the DIS.

When was this previously used?

Wasn’t “Celebrate You” a marketing gimmick?

Celebrate you was a marketing gimmick. This banner however is specific to this event and was not from that promotion.

My mistake. I guess they have just run out of catchphrases.

Something to watch out for in 2020 I guess since Monday night is typically a good less crowded MK night, and EPCOT gets the extended hours tuesday night. I was just thinking we usually make a 2 night Dec plan sometimes over a year in advance since room discounts are hit or miss now a days.
