Yeah, but when they did E-ticket they stayed open later then three hours. I would rather pay the extra money.

Hey all,

They have done away with E-Ride nights, at least for now. They use the Extra Magic System now, and its a heck of a lot more crowded. (or can be) I've worked my fair share of these nights. Its available to all resort guests and is typically a 2 - 3 hour extension of the park hours. There is no cost. We have had night were there are 9000 people and nights where there are 35000 people. Thats just for the Kingdom. Fun stuff.

That's why I would rather pay the $10.00. I think when we paid they limited it to only 5,000 or am I wrong.

Nope, you are right. My wife and I did E-Ride several nights on our vacation and we loved it. It was like we had the park to ourselves. In just a couple of hours we did Alien Encounter 3 times, Buzz 5 times (we are competitive), Space mountain 1 time, Big Thunder 3 times and Splash 1 time. It was a blast. They even ran another Spectro for the E Ride, it was fantastic.

My experience was like yours. We rode Splash mountain 5 times in a row. And I like doing the no-so-scary halloween. The giant ballons in the air are cool and the candy isn't so bad either. Top in off with the parade at the end, and you have a fun time for kids and adults alike.

Extra Magic hours is a nice perk for us Disney Hotel stayers, is stayers a word :wink: , anyway it rocks. When I was down there the end of Jan they offered it. The park was empty during the EMH. Although it wasn't really crowded during the day.....

EMH is better then E Tickets for 2 reasons:
  • 1. Its FREE for hotel guest... not that E Tickets were that expensive..but 10 bucks is what 2 buckets of popcorn
    2. E tickets had a limited availablity...where as EMH seems to be on all times of the year

Yup, they do not limit the number of guests. They also have the problem of making sure only Resort guests stay after hours. A study has been done and it appears that up to 15% - 20% of the guests staying for the extra magic hours ARE NOT resort guests. Oh well. I don't believe I have worked a single EMH night with less than 25,000 guests at the Kingdom.

Be warned, if you attend an EMH, your only choices out of the park are the resort monorail and the buses. There is no express monorail after 1 hour past closing. So be prepared to wait if you should decide to leave when everyone else does.

Every trip we ever take, we always do and E Ticket night. We usually do Animal Kingdom on that day, take a little break then go to MK for E Ticket Night. So worth the money! :lol:

I took advantage of MK EMH at night when I was there earlier this month. I thought it was great. More attractions were open than during E-Ride nights (for example, Fantasyland). It wasn't really crowded at all, although I'm sure it would probably be moreso during the summer. It seems like it is available to ALL WDW resort guests, not just some...

I heard great things about this. It can make for a late night...sometimes the parks are open to 3am with the E-tickets.

My husband and I would always take advantage of the ERide nights when we were there. We're disappointed that it's no longer available. I've read a lot about the EMH and so far the overwhelming majority of things that I have read said it's not as good as ERide...that it's a lot more crowded, etc. So I guess we'll see when we go in August.
