[mitchjs]

Question

Im at WDW on the 26th of may...

at Magic Kingdom...

I see the posted hours are 9:00am to 12:00 (midnight)...
but i also see a evening magic hours

explain... does the park close at midnight then go later for magic hours?
or does it close say at 11pm and have a 1 hour magic hour?

confused and excited
mitch

p.s i like 9am openings... i actually can sleep late on my vacations!
id be happy with 12noon to 3am hours!!! hehehehehe

 

[PamelaNiebergal]

Yes. MK closes to the general public at 12 and has EMH from 12-3am.

 

[mitchjs]

R U Kidding me 3am!!!

WOWIES!

i guess they have very flexible cast members, or really good "extra" pay for 2.5 shift work

does the wristbands cost me anything? or just show hotel card and get band

mitch

 

[PamelaNiebergal]

Just your hotel card and you're good to go.:wave:

 

[mitchjs]

just amazing...

really adds to my vacation..

1 last Q....

since i got a lot of time now at MK, im gonna due during daylight hours, AK
on that day i got dinner at chef mickeys at 7pm, if i show up at park say 8:30pm, i assume they dont "run out" of wrist bands, i can pick one up as i enter park right?

Yup, they have several stations, 2 at the entrance, one in Tomorrowland and one or 2 more somewhere else. They'll scan your hotel ID, give you a wrist band, and you'll just have to show it to get on any ride after 12AM

Have Fun:wave:

 

[mitchjs]

thanks!

i do got another Q...

do alot of people stay past midnight?

im not even thinking twice...

what kind of wait times for rides?

ive never been to wdw this time of year... being that MK is open till midnight im sure disney is counting on a killer crowd...
and it being the memorial day week end, im sure it will be
but little kids arnt staying up past midnight...
course if i was 8yrs old and my parents wanted to stay past midnight... im getting my hands on some coffee!

It will probably be fairly busy at midnight. By 3AM it should be pretty dead.

I went over New Year Weekend at the Magic Kingdom was open until 3:00am. It was definitely worth it!! I can tell you because it was so crowded during the day when the extra magic hours kicked in, it seemed like 75% of the park cleared out. The longest wait was Space Mountain - 15 minutes. All the lines moved quickly and the waits were 10 minutes or less.

Ya, I don't think that many people stay that late, and usually do leave, but at first it can be alittle over-whelming, but you should be golden after 1 I am guessing, have fuN!
