this was my thought as well. People complained. They listened.

Here's why I don't think things are going to be nearly as dire as some folks think it is going to be.
I'm looking to move park days around, switching up and heading to MK on Saturday, 10/7 (not typically recommended day for MK)
Checking FP for this day, I can get FP for every single ride (for 3) right now, including Mine Train.
Don't know about you but that doesn't sound like a slammed busy park to me
I'd be glad if they'd had that kind of late hours over the summer. It was a big disappointment to have the summer MK fireworks at 9pm, and MK closed at 10pm. On top of the that, what they called AK EMH was only the Avatar rides.

Right. I think what people are forgetting that the original October hours for 2017 were not the norm. I'm talking the MK closing at 9 ? I havent seen October hours like that for the last 5 years. Disney is just extending their hours and making them what they were supposed to be. I imagine they got tons of complaints this summer and realized their little experiment didn't work.

We went from 10/1-10/8 and have decided that in the future that early November is our new October.
I was at WDW in August and everything was closed by 10pm...which was super annoying but I digress.
It seems like every time I look at the calendar for October the hours are extended more and more. There are now 12a-2a EMH some nights.
Yikes! Think this is the last Fall break trip we will have. I need to come up with a new preferred vacation month.
Hope everyone has fun in spite of the crowds!
Here now since 10/14 to 10/21. Our first visit.
EP on Sunday 10/15 was crowded, yet very doable with FPs and a rd with mid-day break along with an evening return plan.
DHS today Monday 10/16 was beyond packed. We called it quits after 4 hours. Too many issues all around. It just wasn’t worth it.
On the plus side though, we’re loving our resort down time. After all it’s indeed a vacation.
I think they're just shifting the opening to 8am, because they kick non-party goers out at 6pm instead of 7pm this year.We've gone the week after Thanksgiving for 6 or 7 years now. I have never seen 8 am opening hours at MK short of EMH. I'm anticipating record crowds, but I'd love to be wrong!
So, you're complaining that they close early, then complaining that they are open later?

I maintain the parks are as crowded now in October as the busier summer months when we used to visit, but not nearly as bad as the holidays. Manageable with a plan and early start.
