After the parks close...

Hey, i was on the WDW website and i noticed that a lot of the parks seem to be closing earlier this year. Magic Kingdom closes at 6 thursday and 7 friday; Epcot Future World closes at 7; Animal Kingdom always closes at 5 because of the animals.
Just wondering...what is everyone planning to do after the parks close? My team is staying off-site, and i think most of them aren't even planning to buy Disney passes because they don't expect to have time to use them.
Do any of you have plans to go to Downtown Disney or anywhere? If so, let me know!
luv y'all,
Amy Ross

I think I'm going to call today to get 'official' park times, and again later in the week once the brochures go to print.

www.disney.com and www.wdwinfo.com list conflicting 'official' park hours.

Anyway, after the parks do close, there are still fun things you can do.

Disneyquest in Downtown Disney Westside is a giant, 5 floor arcade. It's about $30/ea. to get in, and then everything but the food is free.

Fantasia Gardens/Winter Summerland are two miniature golf course. The first is located outside the Walt Disney World Swan, while the second is at Blizzard Beach. I'm not sure of their operating hours, but I'd imagine that, if it's daylight, they'll be open.

Stormalong Bay is the pool at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club hotels. . . while pool hopping of Disney resort guests isn't really allowed, they'll almost never stop you. Stormalong Bay might as well be a free waterpark, because it's huge.

The monorail is just fun to ride around.

Outside of Disney property, there are some other things.

Old Town has a few portable carnival rides, a Windstorm roller coaster, and the world's tallest SkyCoaster. The SkyCoaster, though, is expensive, at about $35/ea. for a ride.

Congo River Golf on International Drive has Katanga, which is also kind of expensive, but very cool.

There's lots more, I'm sure, but I'm drawing a blank just now.

If I think of other things, I'll amend this post to reflect that

Does it make a difference that wdwinfo.com is "The Internet's Largest UNOFFICIAL On-Line Guide to Walt Disney World"? The times listed there are probably the normal park hours while the ones on disney.com are updated specifically for this month. Also, one of the parents on our team suggested they might be closing earlier in the day because of mosquitoes.

We would love to get together with other teams...anyone staying at the Days Inn Maingate West? Didn't think so. But if anyone is planning anything specific for any night wed. thru sat., tell us when and where and Beach Bots will be there.
