Originally Posted By FerretAfros Gosh, that doesn't seem like an equivalent swap out to me. Part of the (alleged) allure of EMH is that you can get on attractions with a shorter wait time than during the day. That really works best for the big E Tickets, since they're the ones with the longest lines. Given that the Tiki Room never has a wait longer than a single show, it seems like an odd choice to include, especially at the expense of another attraction. To me, taking away the 2am-3am hour of EMH really wasn't a big issue, since I could never stay up that late anyway. Taking away headline attractions, however, is a much bigger deal. The prices that Disney charges for their hotels is a little ridiculous, considering the quality of the hotels themselves. They really need to consider what actual 'benefit' there is to staying at one of those hotels, before they decide to budgeteer it away.

If the numbers stay the way they are, expect more cuts. The good thing about the numbers being what they are is that Burbank may finally get off their asses and do something about WDW.

Originally Posted By brotherdave Most parks usually have little to no waits for water rides in the evening as people usually don't want to get wet, and especially soaked, after dark. I have no idea what Splash Mountains average ridership is in the evening, but I remember not waiting long for it at dusk in June the year we went, and there was absolutely no line for Kali River Rapids within the last hour that DAK was open when the park stayed open until 8:00pm.

Originally Posted By sjhym333 E-Ticket nights no longer exists. EMH or Extra Magic Hours is a perk to all Disney resort guests. Your room key, plus your park ticket gives you access to the attractions after the park closes to day guests. There are also morning EMH's, when the park opens an hour before day guests are let in and select attractions are open. It is free and part of your experience as a Disney hotel guest.

Our first night was an E-Ticket night. I remember my friends (experienced Disney Commando's) telling me how this was not a widely publicized program. The place was nearly empty and everything was open. What a re-introduction to the MK! The whole vacation was brilliant. Also, our first F&W Festival. Been every year since except one.
