So we went last night. It was nice to have the extra 2 hours, but honestly the 8:00 PM normal closing time seems the main problem with that. Plenty of AP's took advantage of the event, which meant wait times for the main attractions were 't all that much shorter, if at all. We had a 30-40 minute wait for the Racers going single rider. No idea if that's good or not but I did finally ride Tow-mater and Luigi's for the first time so that was nice.

The thing that really soured the experience though was leaving. With everyone heading out at the same time and the inexplicable closing of the flyover exit from the parking garage we got an extra third hour of magic sitting in our car trying to get out.

My lesson learned from this is if I want to stay late, go on a Friday, I'll experience the same crowds, but more stuff will be open a s it'll be much easier to leave when I'm done. So if this was Disney's experiment to see if you could reduce APs visiting on Fridays I'd say this was a big fail. Now if they just kept the park open later normally, that might be a bigger win for everyone.
