Heading to the parks Aug 17-21. Maybe it is because I am older now, but I recall being a kid and it was a huge treat leaving Disneyland after 10 or 11 pm as the park was closing.
I get that there is a Halloween party one night of my trip. But why a 7pm MK closing time on Thursday Aug 18th? Any chance 1 or more of these days gets extended (I am guessing not at this point)?
Also, has Epcot always been a 9pm close? Seems early. We are staying at BCV. I was hoping to get kids to bed with my DMIL and drink around the world over a few nights with my wife. Seems unlikely given the operating hours.
Maybe a private event? It’s not one of the cast members EARidescent Evening dates.
Yes, it’s been 9:00 for most nights for several years. Sometimes during busy times, EP has been open until 9:30 or 10:00. But now that they have the Extended Evening Hours most weeks, they close at 9:00 even in the summer. Since you’re staying at Beach Club, you can take advantage of the EEH at MK on the 17th.
The 18th is currently a mystery…you are there during our week We generally book the same time and there is usually a night that is some large company throwing a party. It’s my annual reminder that I need a new job!
August hours will be updated probably end of next week. A 7pm close definitely seems like it’s for a specific reason though so I wouldn’t expect that to change.
I know Epcot closes at 9 after Harmonious… but how intense are they about ushering you out? Are shops open after fireworks or is everything shut down? I should know the answer to this question but my brain isn’t working and I can’t remember.
