How does the extra evening hours work if you are staying a deluxe resort? My understanding is that access is included with a deluxe hotel. Do you have to do anything or does a magic band already know you have access?
They scan your magic band before you enter the attraction queue.
For an extra evening hour day would you buy a LLMP or rely on lighter lines after hours?![]()
My experience is the lines for headliners are still pretty significant even during deluxe hours, so I will typically use LL to hit those earlier in the day and use extra hours for second tier rides and/or just getting to explore the park with less crowded cooridors.
For EPCOT the evening hours do not cause a significant drop in times because the lack of attractions. You also can’t get to very many because of the size of the park. I would buy LL and then count on the extra hours for a couple of rerides.
For Magic Kingdom, on lower crowd days, I think the EE are fantastic and so much fun. You aren’t going to be able to walk onto Tron, but you can get a 25 min wait on SM or 7DMT. I have rope dropped, left after 3 hours and then come back 2 hours before EE and been pretty happy with what i was able to do at MK
My only experience with AK was during a crowd level 10 day. We were able to ride EE over and over again with no more than a 5 min wait, but FOP never dipped below 90 mins. We left the park after the first hour. My understanding is that is more like 45 mins on a lower crowd day, dipping to maybe 30 towards the end of the time.
This is definately the best part at MK! And I am guessing HS too.
