I wish they would though. I'm sure each night would be a sell out.
I don't know. I don't know. If by chance hrs stay like this through next spring, I'm not sure I want to pay as much as I'm paying to go on our trip. Those hours are terrible.
Honestly, I was somewhat worried about the already-reduced hours for end of July/early Aug. But DH and I were able to do a lot, including sit-down meals. We weren't impeded by kids this trip, so that helped, but I also have a hurt foot that really slowed me down. Still, we flew in on our EPCOT day, dropped our bags at the room, and were in EPCOT by around 1 pm. We rode Gran Fiesta, TT, LWTL, Soarin', SE, walked the full WS loop (plus some), watched Canada Far anand ate dinner at Le Cellier, all before park close.
On our AK day, we arrived just before 11 am. Rode FOP, had a leisurely lunch at Nomad Lounge, then Kali, EE (x2), Dinosaur!, Safari, then FOP 3 more times (entered the queue about 10 min before closing on the last ride. They actually miscounted how many ppl they put in each room, so our showing was just DH, me, and a single woman in the entire theatre.) Then took a bus to DS for shopping and dinner at Morimoto.
On our DHS day, we showed up to the CBR Skyliner station around 8:20 am I think. There were 2 groups ahead of us. We were in the park around 9:15, went straight to MMRR, got on the 4th train of the day. Grabbed coffee, got onto
MDE and nabbed a BP for ROTR (group 8). By the time we walked over to ROTR, our BP was called. It was our second time riding ROTR (first was in March), and this time was a much better experience. The preshow rooms weren't crowded like they were the first time, no jockeying to see or hear. We shopped, rode TSMM, had lunch at the Brown Derby, then RnRC, TOT (x 6), TSMM 3 more times, MF:SR, then dinner at Sci Fi. Then back to CBR for drinks at Banana Cabana.
On our first MK day, we arrived around 10:30 am. Rode Splash, lunch at Pecos, BTMRR, explored Tom Sawyer Island, HM, 7DMT, Space, Buzz, Pirates, JC, Tiki Room, early light dinner (/snack) at Skipper Canteen, HM 3 more times. We left the park a little before closing and went to DS for more shopping, drinks at Jock Lindsey's, and late dinner at the Boathouse.
Second MK day, we arrived around 10, shopped, rode Splash, BTMRR, lunch at Pecos, HM x4, Space, Pirates, Buzz, had dole whips. And left around 3:45 to get back for DME.
Aside from our DHS day, we arrived to the parks late; we did sit down meals every day; never felt like we were racing between attractions; and repeated favorite rides. We were on the fence about our early Nov trip (we also have Thanksgiving week booked), but our experience helped us decide to keep all our bookings.
