DHS would be far more preferable

Well expect no MK probably until January. MK usually goes on hiatus when the Halloween and Christmas parties start.

I'm quite disappointed at this news, actually. I (wrongly) assumed things would go back to the way they were back when Spectro & MSEP were there. They had EMH when those parades were there. And there's barely anything to do at Animal Kingdom.

Yea I’m wondering if AK will be the Wednesday EEH for rest of summer or if it would flip back to MK later in July.

jrhwdw22 hours ago

Looking to the Future, are these EEH Changes just a Debut Season Thing? I'm about 95% sure MK had EMH with Spectro and MSEP.

Must not have kids under 6 right now haha. We couldn't even make it to 8pm fireworks the last few times we went.

I'm good with That! :)

It’ll be an 11 pm closure but with a parade stepping off at 11, that’s de facto 12 am. You can certainly buy a candy apple at midnight…

jrhwdw23 hours ago

It'll be great to see MK open till Midnight Again!!!!!! I'm hoping for at least an 11pm Closure! DHS is nice but AK after dark(if Hours get extended) are so rare these days.......

ToTBellHop23 hours ago

Yes. They won’t run the deluxe evening hours from 12 am-2 am. Personally, I’d prefer DHS over DAK. But I think they have DAH. Why give it all away for free (*with your $500+ per night hotel room)?

jrhwdw23 hours ago

I hope you mean an 11pm Second Starlight! 😀

ToTBellHop23 hours ago

It’s because Starlight will be running so the park will already be open quite late with day guests in the park until near midnight.

It appears Extended Evening Hours will also shift to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, instead of Magic Kingdom, on Wednesday, July 9. Find upcoming park hours from @wdwmagic at this link: https://www.wdwmagic.com/calendar.htm

I don't know about the general public, but if all things were equal, I'd rather go to the park which had more night-hours in the middle of the Summer.
