DL Park hours in OCT?

Post by hackmonkey » Sep Thu 29, 2011 12:17 pm

Park hours for DL on Fridays end at 7PM? Park closes at 6PM during the weekdays? I have been going to DL in OCT for many years and don't remember this schedule. Is this new or something I never noticed? 6PM, really? It's not even dark at that time! Heading out there this weekend for the halloween decorations. Logged into DL website to check events and noticed this schedule. It really is hard to believe that the park is only open for 9 hours and closes before it even gets dark. I think Disney at night is the best part of my trip.

Am I crazy?

It's the halloween event, so if you want to see the park at night those days you will need to buy a ticket for the event.

I think they don't put the event on there because either their calender system is not set up for it or they don't want to confuse people into thinking it's not a diferent event with another admission.

I ended up buying the additional tickets for the family. IT WAS FUN! The trick or treating, extra lighting effects, additional music, and of course the Halloween fireworks and light show was AWESOME! Zero flying across the sky and the music. Glad I did. Thanks for the tip btw.

Hmm, never thought about doing that. Do I do that here? Or is there a specific spot in the forum for posting recent visits?

O, I can tell you that I was Indiana Jones. The kids were The Queen of Hearts, Minnie Mouse, Luigi (from Mario Brothers), and the wife was Dorthy from the Wizard of Oz.
