WDW To Reduce Evening Extra Magic Hours

The 2013 WDW theme park schedule has revealed that Disney is reducing the evening Extra Magic Hours for Disney resorts guests from 3 hours after the park closes to 2 hours.

Disney on Tuesday would not say why it is cutting back on the extended hours, which the resort markets to travelers as "Extra Magic Hours." A spokeswoman would say only that "we regularly evaluate and adjust our offerings based on a variety of factors."

The decision, revealed when Disney published early 2013 operational calendars online late last week, has inflamed some of the company's ardent fans, who have labeled it a crass cost-cutting maneuver.
Now, I don't know whether it is a cost-cutting measure or if there are other reasons behind it. However, after raising the price of tickets to the theme park recently, cutting back on something like this, for whatever the reason, certainly will leave a bad taste in the mouth for theme park fans. It certainly gives the impression of us paying more for less!

Not a big user of the evening hours so the change won't bother me too much. It's annoying that they seem to be slowly but surely taking the shine off being a resort guest and with lots of hotel rooms to fill you'd think they'd want to avoid that!
