Epcot
Not as.great as I had hoped but possibly due to my lack of planning.
We park hopped from mk, stopping to check into the swan. Went on a relatively low crowd day, most ride lines were low even when we first arrived, well before EE started tho the most popular ride wait times were pretty long. My son and husband went off to guardians and I decided to jump on the frozen ride if the wait diminished. It did during the fireworks(and I rode). After the fireworks, tons of people jumped in line and the wait time rose to over 45 minutes quickly. Since the people in line stay in line after the park closes, it’s not like all the waits decrease right away during EE, so theoretically you could wait almost as long for your first EE ride as you did during regular park hours, leaving an hour or so for anything else, not easy to get much in in a hour, when the park is so spread out. Now you could get in a last ride by jumping in line a few minutes before the end of EE too so it’s not unfair but not what I expected. And unfortunately for me my last wish ride was Remys which was unexpectedly not operating. So I actually rode no extra rides during EE might be better in MK with the higher ride density

Pros:

Nice to walk through park without all the crowds at the end of the night Cast members helpful and pleasant to the end

Cons:

Wasn’t able to get in as much as I had hoped

This was an amazing opportunity for our family to get on many high demand attractions in ashort amount of time. We were able to walk onto rides like 7 Dwarfs Mine Train and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure with virtually no wait! We did many rides multiple times in a row!

Pros:

Very low wait times accommodating many, many chances to ride popular attractions. Stores remained open for our snacking pleasure ? we saw the parks in a whole new, quiet and relaxed way. So wonderful ?

Cons:

None.

If you want a less than 5-minute wait for the vast majority of the rides, this is the time to be in the park. We were able to ride so many rides during the extra two hours at Magic Kingdom. It was awesome! Such an awesome perk for staying at a "Delux" hotel. We stayed at the Swan Reserve with Mariott points and to get this as a perk was far better than we could have imagined. Double bonus, the parks are 9000 degrees that time of night.

Pros:

Ride most of the rides with little to no wait. Magic Kingdom and Epcot are even more beautiful late at night and you get to enjoy it more with the majority of the crowd gone.

Cons:

Our extended hours at Magic Kingdom were from 11pm-1am. We had been there since early entry at 8:30 am, so it made for a very long day. We could have been wise and left in the middle of the day for a while, but who wants to leave??
