Now that WoC is open, and seems to be a hit, and TLM is coming in next year, along with a revamped PP, and then followed by Buena Vista Street and Carsland in 2012, do you think all that will be enough to finally take the training wheels off of DCA and let it have the same hours as DL? I know there's been only a limited amount of stuff to enjoy over the past 9 years in the park, but I would think a new land (that will have neon lights all over the place, which is perfect for night), a new NIGHTtime show, and new rides would be enough to at least keep people in until midnight during the summer, if not bring them in before 10am. Just curious on opinions or if anyone heard of anything. (Again, it's been a while so my apologies if this topic has been discussed recently.)

Magic kingdom stays open the latest with everything else closing between 9-10PM with extended hours pushing them to 11PM only on select days and the parks don't open till 9AM except MK which opens at 7-8. So I think DCA will always be opening an hour after and closing an hour before at best.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 I agree. Even EPCOT doesn't stay open till midnight. With the DLR parks sharing the same parking structure it's even more likely that they won't close them at the same time, to prevent trouble with the trams, etc.
Originally Posted By LOVE-DCA well an i think it's been said before that due to the hotel guests an noise from the park that DCA closes somewhat earlier then disneyland..
