I just found out that I am a last minute replacement for a training course that starts this Sunday night and lasts through Friday at Disney.

I am going to be staying at either the Wyndham or the WDW Dolphin hotel depending on which they can squeeze me into.

I haven't been to Disney in about 15 years and I want to maximize my time there. Our meetings will last until about 6:30 everyday and we will be on our own after that. I know the park closes around 10:00, are there any passes that take advantage of a late afternoon entry? I know Six Flags in Dallas offers very cheap rates after 5:00pm.

Also, what are options for golf like? I printed out the course info and it looks like all 6 courses are $30 after 3:00pm.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

(A moderator may want to move to the Orlando forum as there may be WDW people who watch that one more than this.)

I am not aware of late day discounts for admission. You may want to consider going to an e-ride night at the Magic Kingdom. However, it actually costs more because you have to pay for the privilege for staying after normal hours at the park without much of a crowd. Here is a site with information:

That site also has good discussion on other WDW matters (including tickets; don't know about the golf courses).

You can see a fair amount of Epcot and MK, some of MGM, and very little of AK in the evenings (such as after your convention ends in the afternoon). Pleasure Island is open late, of course (I recommend a stop at the Adventurer's Club for some good improv comedy). If you can, try to stay at least until late Saturday so that you can do AK that morning.

Between the Wyndam and Dolphin, I would choose the Dolphin (a Westin I believe) due to its location (walking distance to Epcot and Boardwalk, boat to MGM).

Have fun.

I believe you can only get those late night e-ride tickets if you are a Disney Resort guest--but the Dolphin qualifies. Definitely lobby to get placed there

Some convention groups are offered reduced price Disney park admission, exactly what is offered may vary. An "after 2 PM" ticket is often available although the price compared with a regular admission was not that much reduced. Unlike regular admission tickets, most of these promotional tickets have expiration dates.

Particularly with early morning business the next day, you need to budget your time. If it is a busy night at the Magic Kingdom, it can take an hour to exit the parking lot (a ferryboat or monorail ride is required also) at park closing time and also an hour to board a bus (from any park on a busy night) if you used Disney transportation.

There is a WDW ticket office at the Dolphin.

If you can prove you are part of the convention they will sell you special tickets.

At night you options will be the Magic Kingdom and Epcot [check MGM for special times].
