Hey Guys!
I need clarification on Park Hours. Extra Magic Hours (at any park) are JUST for those staying at a WDW Resort right? Extended Park Hours are for everyone, right? If the Magic Kingdom closes at 10 pm instead of 9:00 pm, does that mean that the fireworks are an hour later too? We have 8:00 pm ADR at California Grill and was planning to see fireworks from restaurant. Of course, if the park is open after dinner, we can always monorail back into the park for another hour, right? Thanks!
Steven, Extra Magic Hours are just for Disney Resort or Disney Springs Area Resort guests. But you’re right that if a park extends its operating hours, that applies for everyone. I think (and I’ll update if I’m wrong) Happily Ever After will proceed at its regular time (9PM). And yes, you can Monorail (or walk!) right on over from Contemporary if the park is still open. Sounds like a magical night — enjoy!
