IMO I think the only harm that’s done with them is with guest satisfaction. The crowds are awful because of high demand. Which of course is the reason why there are now after hours events.

He doesn't visit the parks so don't put any stock into his opinions on how they would get better one way or another.

My friend TWDC would not do this.
It wouldn't surprise me to see them end. It's been on the cards for a number of years to scale them back, as we have seen at Animal Kingdom and Studios.
If it is being based purely on the released schedule so far, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will stay that way.

Which are about to get busier. I suspect they will sell more tickets now that it’s the only night time option. Not a lot at first, but a gradual uptick.

I am not suggesting they eliminate EMH. Just confining them to mornings.
If I had my way every park would open early for resort guests. Perhaps 30 minutes. Rope drop would be on-site guests only.
Then 1 park each day opening 1or 2 hours early. Again only resort guests. Wherever park ops would need to steer them. Likely Epcot or DAK for the foreseeable future.

I think morning magic hours are more beneficial to hotel guests. Night time, the benefit isn't there anymore (there's very little benefit anymore to EMH, not saying they should cut it though). Sorry. JMO ... but if anyone doesn't think this has to do with After Hours, they're kidding themselves though ...

I wouldn’t say never...
EMH has been cut so many times over the years. It happens less now and the hours are shorter. There were times MK was open for EMH until 2AM. That never happens anymore.

This. They aren't a "benefit" anymore because of high crowds. Kind of interesting to see how they cap After Hours and if it slowly starts getting busier. The selling point is "low to no wait for attractions" and so far it lives up to that. EMH seems more beneficial for those willing to get up early. But maybe have it be more than an hour.

Each park has such a different feel at night...
One of my favorite memories is hanging at Magic during EMH. We rode splash, then hit thunder, then someone in our group says, lets hit all three mountains... but we only had a few minutes to make it to space before the park close... and the race was on!
Ran all the way (through very minimal crowds) to try to make it before they put up the closed sign.
DID NOT make it, but it didnt matter! We could not stop laughing from the effort and out of breathness we all experienced! NIght EMH can be pretty cool!

You can still do this though. Disney After Hours is here to save you, for the low low price of all your money.

Rumor has it that they will be cut in favor of morning EMHs starting in October. Can anyone confirm?

which is sad... crowds are even larger now too which you would think would justify the longer hours... but they see more dollar signs

there was some speculation what was once free is now becoming more pay to play... which is unfortunate.
it's likely due to a combination of MNSSHP and MVMCP along with the after hours events (guests can pay for) means no room for EMHs in the evening. This will likely be a trend from here on however

Disney:
Just Pay ~$100 for a park ticket
We'll be overcrowded
Have less hours for you to do things
If you're staying on property bus service isn't as good as it once was
Disney springs and a few other hotels can book FP's at 60 days now just like you can which means less availability
if you want a good seat for some of the night shows you may want to pay more for your meal even though good seating was once available to all
...but hey don't worry, we'll have extra special hours you can purchase to do the same things you did once before
What do ya think? Ready to book?
