Early Closing of MK in early November

[Goofy-n-Alabama]

Was looking at park hours for the first week of November and the MK closes at 8 every night??? Is this to decorate for Christmas?? It seems 8 is awful early and this may hamper my decision to go then. OR does this mean crowds will be very thin?? It just odd when Epcot is the late closer all week. Any info is appreciated Thanks in advance

A lot has to do with the "changeover" from the Halloween events to the Christmas party events. Parades change over and since a lot of the cast of MEP also is in MVMCP, a lot of dress rehearsals in park (after closing) plus other things have to be done.

FWIW: "Normally" there would be one or two nights that week with no MSEP but it looks like there is one each night. Just sayin' at least last year, park hours were extended several nights and an additional parade was added a couple of nights so it is still a bit early to predict what will go on.
