Cause they’re trying to sell it to you for $28 an hour later?

It’s a matter of budgeting. As I said, they’ve opened it for EE in the past.

Is there any justification for TRON not being open for Early Entry, or is it strictly a cost cutting measure? For Tiana’s early closure and not offering it for Extended Evening Hours, they can at least pretend they’re doing maintenance on it

ToTBellHop13 days ago

It has already operated during EE during peak weeks. Experienced it myself.

A random woman on TikTok claims the new approach includes Fantasyland. She didn't have video proof so not quite verifiable

Sirwalterraleigh13 days ago

I’d think it’s like a 99% chance

Could this be in anticipation of adding Tron to early entry?

So fantasyland was still roped off? was there a new rope (or 2?) between tomorrowland and fantasyland?

Probably an after hours park buyout at EPCOT that night.

According to updated park hours, Extended Evening Hours will occur at Disney's Animal Kingdom on May 5, 2025, instead of EPCOT.
