I don’t really understand why they aren’t doing some days for DHS. That would be viewed as a more substantial perk I would think compared to Epcot, even if Rise is not available

News Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours coming for resort guests
- Thread starter DCBaker
- Start date
For the future anyways, it might be due to the Star Wars hotel, as they'll get time all to themselves, at least for SWL. At least that's my impression. If they have to compete with everyone else for access to the attractions, that will really anger almost everyone staying there spending thousands of dollars for a 2 night stay.

That's a pretty weak list for the Magic Kingdom.
No Haunted Mansion, no Pirates, no Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and no Splash Mountain? That's arguably the four best rides in the park and none of them are open. That makes it barely worth going. I assume everyone will rush to 7DMT and even early entry people will end up with 20-30+ minute waits.
I suppose Space Mountain and Peter Pan will siphon some off. It also could be intentional to try to get people to go to the other parks and spread out the crowds.

The MK list looks pretty similar to what they offered the paid early access (forget the name - early morning magic?). Basically they are opening Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. For families it is definitely worth it, and it makes sense if you think about it enough.

I thought it was the extended evening hours list at first -- I see everything but Splash is included in that set.
I still think the vast majority will head to 7DMT and a ton of guests will get essentially no benefit at all since it's only 30 minutes.

You're going to have to rope drop Test Track if you want to ride without paying or waiting.

Husband and I have visited during the slow times of the year and loved Evening EMH because often the parks were a ghost town, especially when they stayed open until 11:00 or midnight.

Yes, and the free morning EMH was also Fantasyland and Tomorrowland.

Everything except Splash Mountain then? Is that how they're playing this?

No BTMR, JC, Pirates, or HM either. Seriously?
In past years, the list of open attractions at DAHs and Party Nights were often incorrect until shortly before the event began.

So it was always kind of a waste? I never knew that.
I'm not planning on ever using this anyways so doesn't really matter what I think.

It’s consistent with what has been open for morning EMH for years

Yeah, someone else pointed that out. I had no idea the morning EMH at Magic Kingdom was so underwhelming (for me personally, at least).

No KS means you can't use Early Entry to circumvent paying for IAS for it. You could still standby at official park opening time, but then you're competing with all guests.

Will Rat and RotR be sitting empty during Early Entry? That would be completely unjustifiable. I have to assume they will start calling BGs during this time, right?
