Any idea when October's WDW park hours are announced?

This is specifically to find out what time 'Fantasy In The Sky' fireworks are on,to try to book O'Hanas to be there when the fireworks are on:D

Well the August hours were only announced last week so I would guess at the beginning of September. :(

Yep I guess early September too, I am working off last years hours for my planning at the moment :D

Kaylee,

Do you know what time 'Fantasy in the sky' fireworks were the second half of October last year?

Thanks

Kaz,

I've made guesses on the times/dates of all the park opening hours, parades and fireworks for our October trip, based on last year's times. I've guessed that FITS will be Friday, 18th (8.30pm) and Saturday, 19th (9pm), Thursday, 24th (8.30pm), Saturday, 26th (8.30pm), Monday, 28th (6.30pm), Thursday, 31st (6.30pm) and Friday, 1st (7pm). We leave on Saturday, 2nd, so that's as far as I've gone.

Have you got Microsoft Publisher? If you have I can e-mail you my itinerary which has all the details.

Cheers Deb for the guesstimate at the hours.

I'm sure I do have the publishing thing but am embarassed ro say I don't how to use any of the programmes on my computer.I know I'm only utilising a tiny part of what it's capable of,I need some lessons!

on the disney website the park hours for september says MK closes at 6pm on weekdays so does that mean they've not got fireworks during the week?

[bengunn]

Sadly, there are only fireworks on Fridays and Saturdays in the last week of August and only on some Saturdays in September.

If you go to September Park Hours (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/waltdisneyworld/parksandmore/parkhours/parkhoursindex?id=SEAllParksLocationCrit&date=92002) and click on the 'Events and Entertainment' link for each day you can see what is on when.

Looks like careful planning will be needed.

thanks

looks like only fireworks on saturday's at the end of sept

:(

When they first post the hours, not all the events are always listed. When the hours were first published for last December (when we last went) the 'Events and Entertainment' pop-up windows looked very much like those currently posted for September. As the weeks went on more information was added, so keep checking back.

ok will do

If you are talking end October remember MNSSHP will nudge things a bit!:p

Please remember that if you look at last years hours, they were very much affected by the events of September 11th. In October, Disney were only announcing the park and parade hours a week before as they had such a downturn in attendance.
