I just counted up all the calendar days that the Magic Kingdom will be hosting either Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (Sept. and Oct.) or Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party (Nov. and Dec.); the total is more than 40 percent of all days from Sept. 11 to Dec. 21! Wow!
I realize that there are a lot of "extras" that go into the special events and that they're great fun for a lot of people, but I was really surprised at the math. That is a lot of nights that the MK has to close early.
If you're there for a week and not planning to go to a party, it really takes a chunk out of possible MK touring nights. Or maybe it would close early anyway even without the parties. I can't remember what the hours were before they started having the special events. Maybe it's just a matter of your point of view.
What do all of you think?
