Anyone?

Anyone?

Hours are posted about 6 1/2 months in advance. January 2016 won't be up until mid-June.

I noticed for May and June the PM extra magic hours for the Magic Kingdom are on Saturday, whereas in the past they have been on Sunday night. Any information on why the change? ... or if this is an error? We're ready to book dinning reservations but wanted to make sure this was not an error ... or do we have our days mixed up - which is possible!!

They change park hours from time to. MK emh hours bounce from Sundays to Saturdays every now and then.... no reason why.

Last June, they changed MK's evening EMH day from Sunday to Saturday. Outside of one-time changes, Saturday has been the evening EMH day since then. You should plan on Saturday being the EMH night -- although, of course, Disney can change it at any time.

Please excuse a stupid question but the extra magic hours can be found on the disney world website correct?

I didn't see this answered on the first page so I apologize if I missed it but...

When did "extended" hours outside of the initially released hours typically get posted for peak/holiday times?

...but right now the hours they have listed are significantly fewer than what was offered last year.

Could the hours really be that much different, or is Disney just waiting for confirmation that the weeks are going to be super crowded again before announcing the extended hours?

I was wondering the same thing about the hours for our trip in June. When I was originally planning and looking at hours from last year, and just thinking about trips past that we have gone at this time of year, MK rarely closed before midnight and most days were open until 1 or 2am without extended hours. Hollywood studios is listed as closing most night at 8pm? Will it even be dark enough for Fantasmic? I'm guessing/hoping that as it gets closer that the times will be adjusted. I know there are times when they even decide to adjust the hours on that day, but it sure makes planning even more of a challenge.

The crowd calendar on easyWDW shows DHS closing at 8:30 most nights, with Fantasmic! running at 9. And hours are added.

Hours just got updated this past weekend, FYI. Easter week now has the normal 8 am MK openings (and 7am daily EMH openings).

 

[LetsTalkWDW]

Basically the park hours are now being posted 180 days or so ahead .. roughly in line with the ADR (Dining Reservation) 180 day policy.

Here on the DIS at..

The hours posted for May 2015 appear to be outdated. For instance according to the Disney Website, Magic Kingdom is open until 12:00am for nights without EMH. WDWINFO has closing listed at 10:00pm all week.

I'm trying to find hours for April 5, 2015 at Disneyland California adventure and can't find it.

Well actually, this forum is for Disney World; you should ask over on the Disneyland forum.

Does 6 month rule apply for date releases for Mickey's Halloween Party as well?

 

[siskaren]

Officially, they probably won't release the dates until late April, with tickets going on sale in early May. However, since the MK closes at 7:00 on party dates, you can tell what dates the party will be on from the monthly calendars. The September calendar is already out (although the early closings on the 11th and 12th are for Night of Joy), and the October one should be out by mid-March.

Thanks, siskaren!

[Mrs Grumpy]

Now that the dates for MNSSHP have been released do you thing the park hours for MK will be extended on 9/1, 9/4 and 9/7? Still showing closing at 7:00. I will be making ADR's on 3/9 and don't want to go to MK if they are closing at 7:00 so will need to change my plans some.

So need the August hours! I hope what is showing on the WDW site is not it. There are practically no late nights for the week we are there.
