If WDW only offered early AM or late PM, which would you prefer?

[JakeAZ]

I understand neither is offered now, but early is on it's way back.

Just want to see if one is more desirable than the other.

For me, it's later hours for sure. The parks are just better suited to be enjoyed at night with everything all lit up IMO.

Waking up extra early on vacation to go on roller coasters just doesn't appeal to me.

Having to wake my kids extra early on vacation to do those same things really doesn't appeal to me!

Late!

 

[disneygirlsng]

Early, no question for me.

 

[fla4fun]

Neither. I prefer to arrive at the parks 11:00-12:00 and leave about 6:00. So I never took advantage of EMH at all.

 

[Naomeri]

Late! There’s something extra magical about Disney at night. Also, I’m a night owl.

 

[KrazeeK120]

Right now? Early. When my son is older? Late.

 

[Ariel620]

Early definetly! The parks were always more empty for the early EMH then the late ones!

 

[mom2rtk]

Always early for me. But when I'm traveling with my 20 year old daughter, she would vote early for DLR and late for WDW.

Anybody else coming with me? We’re up painfully early. Before dawn. In bed by 8.
Just me? Sleeping in, breakfast at 11, fireworks.

 

[gharter]

Late. Enjoy the parks at night. Depending on the time of year, the weather can be much cooler as well.
Besides, by evening, the crowds are already thinning out.

 

[CarolynFH]

We come from the Central time zone. We realized on our first trip that getting up for morning early entry (called Surprise Mornings way back then) was earlier than getting up for work and school. Not a vacation for us!

I'm expecting Disney to eventually split theme park "days" into two halves. You reserve the half you want or you can go "all day" by buying two tickets.

 

[DizneyFamof4]

We have done both and it's not even close, our family BY FAR prefers PM over AM EMH, once the last fireworks are over, the parks really start emptying out. Nothing like seeing the parks all lit up and walking on rides, walking down main street at 1 or 2 in the morning. Ah, those were the days

 

[Capitalangel]

My kids and I are early birds so we like the early hours but my husband likes sleeping later so when my kids are older I can see us wanting later.

 

[sethschroeder]

The poll is flawed.

30 mins in the evening isn't even enough time to clear out the long queues of normal park guests.

Also there is nothing saying Disney can't just be open later to everyone they just are working on reduced hours still.

9am is hardly "early" which is normal hours right now for opening with Epcot being 11am.

 

[RoseGold]

Night EMH was truly magic for us. It's why we bought DVC, and it's why we went back to WDW at all.

If the late EMH don't return, I will likely sell my DVC. I'm even willing to pay some for a few night hours, maybe not a whole silly villain party every time, but def willing to pay for a few extra hours.

 

[Erzengel]

Late. I use to love ending Animal Kingdom at around 4-5ish and then park hopping to MK which was open after midnight.

 

[Farro]

Choosing one or the other - I want the free early am 30 minutes for all parks everyday and then ticketed night hours at all the parks on different nights.

And I'm betting that is what will happen.

 

[Orion Nebula]

For sure late as you get to skip the mad rush at closing also. Not to mention after close EMH were one of the most enjoyably moments for us.

 

[Meriweather]

I'm a morning person, so early.

I get tire sitting around the resort waiting for opening.
