And I do also have to say that just because a kid is a young kid and not a teenager doesn't mean that they are going to prefer DL over an amusment park like that. I had to practically drag DH with me on our first trip together four years ago (back when he was still just a Disney Boyfriend ;D ) Because he had gone with his family back when he was eight or nine and absolutely hated it. According to him he had no good memories and had never had any interest in ever going back to DL. He much preferred his trips to places like Six Flags and Universal Studios. (or even the occasional roller coaster fun at Great America locally) Well, four years and lots of trips to DL later, we just spent our honeymoon there and both became Premium AP's. So, as a little kid, about the age of the kids in those ads, he would have pretty much felt exactly what the ad is saying. It actually took him seeing DL through "grown-up" eyes to see all the magic that it offered and provided.

While the vast majority of the year it closes at 5, EMH's now keep it open later, and if you'll look at the park calender: <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/calendar/parkhours/calendarHome?id=AKCalendarParkHoursMonthlyViewPage" target="_blank">http://disneyworld.disney.go.c om/wdw/calendar/parkhours/calendarHome?id=AKCalendarParkHoursMonthlyViewPage</a> Presidents Day weekend: 8am-7pm Two Easter weeks: 8am-8pm July: 9am-7pm These BEFORE Evening EMH's Some attractions (like the Safari, and the trails) do close earlier, but the park is still open (and EE will mean even more to do at night!)
