…more unprecedented demand…

Can’t keep ‘em away

 

[Touchdown]

That’s a Wednesday so is this instead or in addition to MK EMH?

 

[wdwmagic]

Interesting that Rise of the Resistance is not included this time around.

Extended Evening Hours is returning to Disney's Hollywood Studios on September 30, October 5, October 11, October 19 and October 25, 2023.

Here are the attractions that will be available.

Alien Swirling Saucers
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
Muppet*Vision 3D
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith
Slinky Dog Dash
Star Tours – The Adventures Continue
Toy Story Mania!
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

Interesting dates. Saturday, Thursday x2 Wednesday x2. Have we seen a Saturday before? The Thursdays overlap Halloween parties so it's great for some guests to have another option. Are the Wednesdays in lieu of MK?

Maybe it's off the list because it will be VQ?

Or, more likely, whenever Disney announces the list of attractions that will be open, there will invariably be an omission or two.

That's what I kind of figured - it would be VQ so it isn't on the list yet. Hoping they extend this into November as well.

I agree. It was included back in December. I don’t remember it being VQ, I think we just walked on. There again, I could be wrong!

 

[Doberge]

I believe Guardians is still VQ for extended hours but is listed as an attraction. Rise is listed as an attraction for Jollywood Nights. Not sure what to read into Extended Hours omission.

I just checked my trip report.

We jumped into line for Rise towards the end, so it definitely didn’t use VQ during the extended hours back in December.

 

[SingleRider]

Maybe they’ll be doing a refurb to fix the cannons.

 

[CastAStone]

I hope it sticks around this time, it would take so much stress out of my Easter trip if there’s extended evening hours for deluxe resorts at all 3 major ride parks

So these are Wednesdays, so it looks like these are going to be instead of the Magic Kingdom EEH’s, and also, ROTR isn’t included, so this doesn’t look like it has enough ride capacity…. There are still going to be waits for these attractions.

Doubtful that it’s at 3 parks, it looks like this is replacing magic.

Those dates aren’t all on Wednesdays. Without looking at a calendar they aren’t all 7 days apart.
I’m sure they are replacing MK because of the parties though, just not on a regular schedule.
And I think Rose will be added. When a list of rides was published for early entry they missed off Rise initially. And it was included in the December dates.

If you were planning on attending Extended Evening Hours at Magic Kingdom on Wednesday, September 27, be aware it is currently not listed on the Walt Disney World calendar on that date. As always, this may be updated as the date approaches.

Makes sense because HS is on September 30. They may be doing that instead of MK that week.

It does appear this trend will continue as there are currently no Extended Evening Hours listed for Magic Kingdom on Oct 4.

Small update - while Rise of the Resistance is not listed on the available attractions list during Extended Evening Hours at Disney's Hollywood Studios, Rise does currently show operating hours of 9pm - 11pm on September 30.

Edited to update - those hours for Rise of the Resistance have now been removed.
