Being the park closes at 8 during the week we feel as long as we get there by 6 it's plenty of time to walk around and ride some attractions. - Sonja  5728.5 #3 8:56AM

We've walked in the parks a half hour before they close. SO worth it! - iwantdisney  258.0 #924 8:29AM

My friends and I love to go after work. We live about 45 minutes away. Sometimes we get there at 7 or 8 and we just do some rides, go to the Mad T Party and then watch Fantasmic. It's a really cool time to go. You don't have to deal with huge crowds and you don't have to be in the heat! Also, like you said, it's a great way to end the day :) hope I have been help. - bbykay92  6.8 #8340 8:33AM

I say go, Disneyland is just a great place to be period. Although I would suggest checking the park hours before you go, so you don't get there at 8 and they close at 8. Defenitly worth it though, even if you get on 1 ride and eat 1 churro. - mini_MINNIE  401.8 #329 8:52AM

We drove down on a Friday night and got there at 11pm when they closed at 12am. We got to do so much in that 1 hour. After the fireworks, things tend to clear out a little. Even if you had 5 minutes, that's 5 minutes of Disneyland bliss. - DisneyBride°O°  366.5 #379 9:16AM
