I have 2 things.:confused: :confused: :confused:

1.
I am trying to find out how long after closing the park will be open?
As I read the extra magic Hours page from Disney it can be UP TO 3 hours.
So how am I to know how long?:shrug:
The calendar only shows the regular hours.

Our plan is to visit the park that has the extra magic hours at night for the day.
i.e. MK on Dec 21 and Epcot on Dec 22nd.
Based on the extra hours we get we will take a brake during the day. So if there is 3 extra hours we will take a 3 hour brake.:sleep: :sleepin:

2.
With the extra magic hours does it really make a difference? Will the lines be shorter?:wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

They have little leaflets around WDW with the times/dates for the week of the early/late opening hours, thats how we planned.

The extra hours are open only to Disney hotel residents, we sometimes had the park pretty much to ourselves, on/off rides over and over with no queue. You are given an armband to wear (if late night hours), which you present before they let you on the rides, you can collect one as the park closes, you need your hotel key/passes.

The thing about the evening EMH is that you may go to the park on that day expecting the extra 3 hours and Disney may decide that there aren't enough people to keep it open the extra 3 hours and shut it down anyway.

Yes if you at that page at the top it has "stays open up to three hours after regular Park closing" so it could be 1 or 2 or 3 hours. I would like to know what it is.
