And how does it work ? I will be in Orlando 9th for two weeks and I notice there is an eride night. What is it and how do you get on it ? Really looking forward to coming back after two years absence. Hopefully better weather than Sherwood Forest ! (Rain/wind)

Please don´t hit me friends, but I think that unless you were going for a short period of time and during high season, Eride nights are not worth paying for.
Since "Robin Hood" is going to be there for two weeks and february is not that crowded, I think he has plenty of time to get on rides as many times as he wants to, without having to wait until late and pay an extra fee.
My two cents...

oh...they have TTA open now. Only one true "restaurant" stays open--Pecos Bill Cafe, but a few bakeries and other snack places also stay open (like The Lunching Pad). Three stores remain open (Splash Down Photos, The Merchant of Venus, the Emporium) and the disney characters hang out in front of Cinderella Castle (Fantasyland is completely closed, so you must travel through here to get to Liberty Square/Frontierland). The cost is $12 for adults and $10 for kids. I love e-ride nights...

E-ride nights are great...so much fun. When I was there in August they had 11 attractions open. The one's that are open regularly plus aladdin and pirates. We got lucky...and it was also empty. We did space mountain about 6 times in 30 minutes.

I am very proud that CBJ is on the list... :animwink:
Are the Rocket Rods kind of like the Astro Orbiter? I've only been to DL once and that was about 6-8 years ago.
I can't remember the exact date, but I asked a CM when the show would be changing back. They said sometime in early January, but can't remember the day. It may have been down then. ????????????

Can someone clarify the process to get a ticket for an E-ride night? I thought one had to purchase their ticket at MK's Guest Relations the date of an E-ride night...

The Rocket Rods were open air vehicles that moved around the old peoplemover track in less then 2 min... instead of 15. The ride was the fastest ride in the park. But due to excessive wear and tare, the ride had to be closed. BTW, what show were you talking about Turkey Leg Boy?
For E-Ride Nights, you buy a ticket at your resort. Then when you get to the park, you exchange it for a wrist band at Guest Relations, Splash Down Photo, or The Tomorrowland Light & Power Co.

no no no no no...you buy them at your hotel at Guest Relations/Information. You can only get them at a Resort Hotel. Buy them no later than the morning of the e-ride night, but you can buy them a couple days prior. After paying your $12, they will give you a pass. Before the Magic Kingdom closes the day of the e-ride night (and after four pm) exchange your pass for a wristband. Do not wait until the park is about to close, you will be in a big line. You can exchange it at I think Splash Down Photos or at the entrance to Main Street (and perhaps one more place...I always go to the Main Street exchange location. When the park closes, everyone else leaves, and those with bands are allowed to roam the lands open and sometimes they check for bands on the rides--not always...sometime through the course of the evening someone should. By the way, if you go on Splash Mountain at about 10:30, you get roughly twice as wet. Many of the logs are out of the water, so the water levels are higher. Our log actually went UNDER the water on the last drop...it was hilarious We got soooooooooo wet...and we just kept going around b/c no one was in line...I think we rode 3 times w/o getting wet. Then, drenched, we went to the Haunted Mansion w/ it's A/C...that was a cold ride...

sorry...I'm a slow typer and was typing it as you posted. My bad
Thank you for the replies about eride nights. As I will not be staying in a Disney resort then it lookas as thought I won't be going anyway. I have read other posts suggesting that my second week will be busy. Which parks would you suggest to visit in the first week to get them out of the way, including IOA, MGM, Sea World etc etc ?

Well,TimeKeeper AND CBJ were originally BOTH E-Ride nights, but yes, CBJ was closed for about a week to bring back the ORIGINAL show...it is currently playing!
And I would assume, back on the attraction list...
