«« When Will Park Hours For _____ Be Posted?

[readytogotodisney]

Anybody think we'll see park hours next week? My gosh I hope so! I feel the need to start obsessing over them!

What is the likelihood that January park hours will change after they are released? Are the EMH park dates set in stone? We are visiting MLK weekend, so I imagine that those hours might be slightly later/open to change. Just wondering how much I should actually go by the preliminary hours release.

They'll change, especially over MLK, but mainly just MK hours will change. MK will probably be open until 12pm on Friday/Sat, and maybe 11pm on Sunday, Monday it'll be 9 or 10pm. From that point on it'll be 9pm closing.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but pretty sure that the rotation of EMH is set in stone. The hours of the evening will change based on the regular park hours, and they may add additional parks to the EMH to compensate for crowds.

Thanks for the info! Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. Hopefully it will not affect our planning too much!

Me too! I hope we're right! I keep hitting refresh on the TA hours just to see if it's there yet. I think I need to back away and do something else for awhile... I'm driving myself crazy

Last year jan hours came out June 14...I have the archived web page. Aaahhh. I'm ready to plan now

Wow uh, I kind of hope they extend the hours before January. Compared to last years posted hours they're kind of short for the beginning of January. I know they have to go in and change it eventually (no mention of EMHs at all, weird). And I'm still hoping that they'll change the hours for NYE at MK and keep it open past midnight this coming NYE so I can get my first ride of the New Year there and not have to go all the way to DHS for it.

I have no doubt that the hours will change between now and then, this is just the rough outline as far as Disney is concerned. Once 2013 packages are released and they give a better idea of crowd numbers the hours will change. I'm not sure about NY days, but I know MLK weekend MK will be open past 8pm.

I guess I did it to myself, but I was expecting EMH on there - can't do much planning without that. BUT, at least I know theyre supposed to have fantasmic every night

Thanks we're there until the 14th so not there for MLK but thanks for the info anyway.

Quick question for anyone who may know, why does December hours list Typhoon Lagoon as being refurbished and January as Blizzard Beach being refurbished? I know most likely BB will be the one being refurbished just a weird thing I noticed in the hours.

I was psyched to see Fantasmic was being shown daily, but I agree the hours aren't very helpful without EMH

You're right to expect EMH hours to be listed. Typically they are included even when the initial PDF is released. In this case it would seem another file may be coming shortly.

Should we expect finalized January EMH info before July probably? August?

I want to start planning so badly and cannot do anything until I have EMH info to go by! Guess I will just have to be patient.

Expert Josh on easywdw.com says he has never seen an initial file released without EMH before, but he also commented that he should have the Jan 2013 EMH by the end of this week. I am not sure if he is expecting a new travel agent file to be posted or if he has another source.

To see the source, look halfway through this post about July/summer hours:

Thanks so much for the info! I assume that you were referring to Jan 2013 as opposed to 2012? Glad to hear that EMHs should be posted this week!

Has it ever been the case that EMH information changed post-release (i.e. MK AM EMH gets moved from Monday to Tuesday and replaced with another park) or is pretty much everything except the hours set in stone?

Thanks again!

Getting kind of ridiculous now,

I hope he's right! I feel like I can't do any planning, bc of it. 1) I want to know, and 2) I wonder what else is going to change when the calender is updated.

Josh on easywdw has an update about the lack of January 2013 EMH and his ideas as to why they are not available yet:
