I am so disappointed in the hours for Magic Kingdom for August. We have going same time in 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and are going again beginning August 13th. In 2013 there were EMH on Monday and Wednesday till at least midnight. We would leave park at almost 2am. Then it became one night Wednesday, but still till at least midnight. Regular hours are always 10 or 11. In 2017, we decided to try the Hallowen Party. When we. Bought tickets CM assured us that there was free food (like the DAH) now. Well there wasn't any. Ok, so we went again in2018, (same night as in 2017, first party night). We noticed way more people. They definitely sold more tickets. No free food, but trick or treating stations.
Now this year with park hours being as early as 9 pm. We are trying to fill in our evening hours. No, I won't be paying for another over crowded Halloween party, (basically paid $300 for Halloween candy and a parade). We couldn't see the show at the castle (too crowded to see anything, and we arrived early). Don't want to spend extra (my choice) for DAH. I'm sure it's just a matter of time, before they,start selling more tickets or eliminating the "free food", or even closing rides or eliminating which are open. I'm going on the words that Disney employees and their policy states: "subject to change at any time".
