What is the earliest you have left a park??
I saw another thread that was interesting on how late have you stayed in the parks. It got me to thinking about a trip a few years ago right as the happiest celebration on earth began we were there for the kick off days. The first few days of our trip were great the crowds were very manageable. But once the celebration began it was a madhouse!! We were there for 10 days. Well on the last day my wife and I pulled up to the MK looked at each other and said (to my everlasting shame) "Do you really want to go in there today??" We figured by our tenth day our ticket wasn't costing us that much so we opted to go to the beach. I can't believe I turned away from a day at MK!!!
Anyone else have any stories of how they just got to the parks then just left??

I think the earliest we have ever left a park is late afternoon. We don't travel to the World during peak times so for the most part our trips are manageable.

I left a park after one ride one time. I was going home that day, and the ride I wanted to go on had been under construction and was opening the day I was leaving. I believe I was out of there by 9:20 AM!!

The earliest I left a park was 8:45 AM it was the Studios. I arrived at 8 AM rode RNRC & ToT grabbed a coffee from Starring Rolls and headed some place else.

We left the AK around noon one day. It was so hot I couldn't stand it anymore. We went back to the Dolphin and went in the pool. And we were still sweating!

On super hot days we have left as early as 1pm to head back to the room for lunch, a nap and swim...but we always come back in the evening and stay super late.
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow

The only thing I detest more than getting to the parks late is leaving the parks early. But with kids, things are different. Last year, I went to Epcot after our long flight to get some food. And then it happened...we left BEFORE Illuminations! Terrible, I know. But I didn't want to fight the crowds after the fireworks. I figured we got to the room an hour faster and the kids got to bed faster. That got them ready to hit the MK the next day. Sacrifices.

We have a timeshare in Tampa and on our yearly trip in sometimes my dad had booked a flight into Orlando so that we could make a stop at MK for the day. Well after being an avid WDW visitor going for just a day is not as appealing to me.
My Best Friend and I got to the park at 9:00 and left by 1:00...we were just not feeling it that day...
I can't believe that happened!!

On occasion I've been to all 4 parks in one day by 11am. Usually to grab a park exclusive pin or something and leave. I would say, 1/2 hour after opening on the first one and I was out.
-
The earliest was probably around 11 or 12 but we hardly ever go to the parks early. The shortest amount of time we spent in a park was a really hot June day - we walked up Main Street, saw all the people then turned around and left. Another time we went to MGM, had an ice cream sitting on bench near TOT and then left.

On a trip several years ago we had an early afternoon flight so DW and I went to MK to ride Space MT one last time. As we neared the end of the queue and were only about 2-3 groups from loading something went wrong with the system. They ended up turning on all the lights inside SM. We waited and waited as the cm's said it should be up and running at anytime. Eventually we started thinking about leaving because we did have a plane to catch. Thank goodness the lights went back off and the ride started up again. It was cool inside of SM with all the lights on. As soon as we got off we made a bee line for the hotel to grab our stuff and get to the airport. We made it, but vowed not to take chances like this again.

Was staying at the Yacht club once and really wanted to go Soaring. I got up early, left my wife and daughter sleeping in the room, got into Epcot on an early admission day, ran to Soaring and rode it, ran back to the hotel and back to bed.

4 pm... I had gotten from eating at the Catina San Angel and we went back so that I could try to rest before heading to MNSSHP (which we stayed at from 7-close). Even though I was sick for the next 2 days I still stayed at the park until it closed. I felt like I paid for this vacation and I was going to be at the parks even if it meant I'd visit every bathroom in the MK and Epcot.

We left at about 10 a.m. from the MK during our 2007 trip. There weren't any problems. We were leaving that day and needed to be on the road by Noon. We had ADRs for breakfast at CP, so we took some pictures of the castle with Main Street empty, enjoyed our meal, shopped at the Emporium for some last minute souveniers and then left. It was worth the extra $2 to get a 7-day pass, rather than a 6-day pass.

We got to Hollywood Studios about 10 a.m. one day. We waited 40 minutes for The Great Movie Rode, the place was mobbed and we got the heck out of Dodge after about an hour. It was the worst day we've spent in any of the parks,
