Umm. They care about your wallet.
Of course there are thousands of amazing cast members and managers that really do care and are living the dream. But there are probably an equal amount that don't.
When I make statements like these I know I'm getting old " when I was your age Magic Kingdom was open 'till 12 or 1 in the morning on summer days"

Disney cares about making money.
Do the local amusement parks close to you stay open past 10?
Disney ultimately has the right and ability to label the price point and hours of operation. If you don't feel that you're getting a good value for the price you pay, then you have the choice to not vacation there.

Because Pandora is open until 1am.
They have EMH at MK as well. People complain about everything.

Part of the problem of staying open until 12:00, 1 or 2 am is that there is less time to get the park ready for the next day. Sometimes the park needs a little extra tlc time. Besides this year has AK opened late to attract the crowds.

Not good on Disney's part.
We've been here for 10 days now on a trip planned one year ago.
Last year during the Fourth of July week MK was open we'll past midnight. Go ahead and look at the times guide here on wdwmagic for 2016...see?!
We planned on have good emh past midnight this trip. The hours were only release two months ago. The folks on this very forum kept saying on another thread that mk always changes the hours the closer you get to the date. We'll, that's didn't happen this year.
And from the guests we have talked to across three disney resorts we have stayed at, none are too happy with the way this July Fourth crowd was treated with dismal park hours.
Like I said, we planned/booked this trip a year ago when emh was well past midnight on July fourth week. It's pathetic on Disney's part.

Oh and by the way...
It's not fair to say "if you don't like it don't vacation there" or use the played "their in it for money" bit...
A lot of folks on here have been going to disney world for 20+ years. We know how it works. The difference has been with the introduction my magic plus you have to plan your trip even with more detail than ever before. Not cool to announce pitiful park hours two months from the day of your trip when your trip was book a year in advance by going on previous years park hours. It's how everyone has always done it.
now, back to the fun...

If you aren't going to do better than the local amusement parks... why spend more to go to Disney?
These comparisons are stupid. Why not compare Disney to.... Disney?
Care to look at disneyland's hours today?

This has been bothering me for some time now, but it wasn't until just now I took a look at Disneyland hours. That irritates me even more. Living here I can accept the hours and go another day, but I still do not like it. It's completely unfair to people who spend an arm and a leg to travel and stay here.
I realize it is partially (or totally) because AK is open late every night with EMH every night, but only the Avatar stuff is open during EMH. I went over there the other night only discover that tidbit. Give people something.

If you think Disney World's times are bad, don't look at Disneyland Paris lol Most of the year they are:
Disneyland Park: 10:00am - 8:00pm
Walt Disney Studios: 10:00am - 6:00pm
Busier periods they will add an hour or two but that's it. Disneyland is never open past 11pm.

Disneyland Parc is open today 8am to 11pm. 10am - 11pm for all guests.
You can also get a one day ticket for those hours today for around $40.

Were you able to enjoy everything that you wanted to? We were there during Pandora's opening weekend which also included Memorial Day and the end of the Food and Wine. It was pretty crowded but we were still able to enjoy everything and I mean everything. We left at around 10. It takes some planning but it can be done. My advice for your next trip...rope drop is a much better payoff than later hours!

It is today being Summer and a weekend which is great but from January to April and September through November park hours are more limited however Magic Kingdom and Disneyland CA for the most part seem to be open from 9am to 11pm all year round.
