Good news!

From June 10th to July 13th 2006, Disneyland Park will stay open until 11pm on Saturdays and 9pm on Sundays. The park doesn't open until 10am on weekdays, but I think this is still excellent news.

Yeah, I found it last week since we're planning a visit that weekend! Does anyone know what rides are usually open when the park is open that late?

[Anthony]

Maybe the same ones that were open during Extra Magic Hours in April? Hopefully Buzz will also be open though...

[flor]

I'll have a look Tuesday on the bureau for the attractions that will be open. And I'll post it here so you could plan a visit
but normally Buzz would be open.

Now here's the big question - will there be fireworks between December 23rd and January 6th?? I doubt it, but it's a nice thought...

[Anthony]

They added park hours for January 2007. Disneyland Park will open 10am to 6pm on weekdays!!

I suppose it might be a quiet start to the year though, if people hold off their visits till April...

[Soap]

9.00 - 22.00 daily

on December 31st, 2006:
9.00 - 1.00

from January 1st to 6th, 2007:
9.00 - 22.00 daily

This rocks

[Anthony]

Yeah, I'm so glad they finally realised Christmas and Halloween are popular enough for longer hours this year.

I wonder what kind of hours we'll get during the 15th? They're supposed to be doing 2hrs of Extra Magic Hours before or after normal hours on most days, so I hope normal hours don't suffer as a result. (eg. "closing" at 6pm to allow for EMH till 8pm)

[Miss Tinkerbell]

Baloo what are those extra magical hours???

and closing at 6???? that's too early l start my shopping then mostly

[Poppy The Monkey]

I'm dragging some first time Disney peeps to the Park next summer and am encouraging them to endure peek crowds/prices because of the long opening hours! I think we're looking at late July - can I just check with some knowledgeable person, will be the Parks be open late (mid-week then)?

[maleficent_mum]

We'll be in the resort on Saturday 31st March when the park is closing at 8.00pm , presumably the park is remaining open for press/VIP's only after this time. I'm just wondering if this is the case how do they ensure everyone else has left the park

[Anthony]

Security, I suppose.

I read somewhere that guests will be asked to leave via one of the arcades, so presumably the press will be held in another area before being "let loose". Or it might be the other way around - I remember at the Buzz event last year the press had a small party in Discovery Arcade before being led through towards park closure.

It's a shame they get a great event and the fans/AP holders/Shareholders get nothing at all...

[Angela]

Well I wonder to... because I can see how the magic hours will work in the morning. No one will be allowed in if they do not have a disney passport but at night? what happens if the extra 2 hours are at night like when I visit. The 2nd and 4th of July are magic hours at night... will they check my passport when I am going in a ride or what? Can I stay? That is what I think.
Any openingtimes known here for the first week of July? I am staying from Sunday the 1st till Friday the 6th so no Saturday for me.

[Anthony]

I did the first night of Extra Magic Hours (and then spent 30mins of it stuck in SM:M2, but that's another story...).

You simply go to Main Street Station from 5pm onwards (till normal park closing I think), show your "Disney Hotel Easy Pass" or Dream AP and then one of the overworked Guest Flow guys will give you a nice flourescent wristband for the night, which most CMs at attraction entrances will check.

So normal people can probably still stay in the park, but not ride the attractions. I've got the leaflet which shows which attractions and restaurants open and so on, I'll post it on DLRP Today at some point... (in a few years, the amount I've got to report...)

Park Hours are only announced 3 months in advance. They only just announced June, so it'll be 3-4 weeks before July are released.

[fly_with_me_dumbo]

a wrist band! great more freebies, i know there not out yet but do you reckon for august there will be extra hours

[Angela]

extra hours you can see at the disneysite for august and september already.

[Simi-Maus]

Does anybody know, which rides will be open on the Extra Magic Hours in the evening?
