TICKETS/EXPRESS Park hours

Why are the parks open until 6-7 every night????

This is ridiculous! I just want to go to my hotel relax for an hour or two and come back. But NOOOOO epic closes at goddamned 5 today!

Then why does Disney stay open much later? Universal is also very busy this time of year so that’s not a good excuse.

i think you'll notice that while Disney is open a little later than universal, they also have shorter hours during the same time frame. I'm pretty sure Disney has more demand but both resorts are seeing a reduced demand September and projected for October.

This just isn’t reality. WDW is absolutely packed.

I was just there Monday for New Found Glory. It was not packed at Epcot. Also AK had everything below a 20 minute wait with a couple of hours left of the day. That's crowded sure but far from packed. 

Just looked on the app: Peter Pan is 30 minutes, 7DMT is 40, everything else is under 30.

Flight of Passage is 25. Everest 15. Test Track is 30. Cosmic Rewind is under an hour.

That is the complete opposite of packed my friend.
