10/27 The extended hours for Deluxe resorts is at Animal Kingdom instead of Epcot?

My question - do we think this is a one off? The following Monday we planned to do extra hours at Epcot, even plan to book Via Napoli for dinner.

I actually don't mind either way, I just didn't think they ever switched up the Epcot Mondays!

That's an odd one, I assumed when I went to look Epcot would be closing early or something but nope regular hours.

I'd bet it's a one off but no way to know for sure until they post 11/3 hours.

My guess is that since its the day after race weekend ends maybe the expect more crowds in EPCOT that day so they want to try to sway some over to AK?

Epcot is unlikely to close early during Food & Wine, and Eat to the Beats period.

Could be a private event that starts at park close

 

[Dave006]

The even odder fact is that AK is open until 8 PM on 10/27. It is also a rare opportunity to make a completely nighttime stroll through the Pandora area.

Huh. I can't see the park calendars after October 17th. You are all seeing the calendars through Oct. 27th?

On the app.

Thank you. Is it unusual that the calendar isn't updated on the website, but only on the app? Of course, I had been counting on doing Epcot that evening.

Fall is the most likely time EEH varies from its typical EP/Mon and MK/Wed schedule.

The parks might change and sometimes even the days, like Wed change to Thurs and possibly a different park than MK.

It’s quite common for the app to show updated park hours first. If you are looking ahead for park hours I’d highly recommend checking the app.

Traditionally the app shows park hours for the next 71 days.

Yes the MDE app is updated more frequently, and uses a streamline approval process. The legacy Web content has a much more complex process, and it often a trailing situation.
