Dec Hours!!

Hmmm...strange. I have access to disneytravelagents.com, but when I go to "Park Hours" it still only shows through Nov. Where are you finding this?

Thanks,

Gotta Get To Disney!

Let's all do the Happy Dance (Like they did on Perfect Strangers )


100 more days!

The closer my ADR day comes the more confused I get though....... oh well...

Sorry everyone- I'm confused.

I see people on this and another thread posting a TA link, but when I click on it, it says "December 2008".



NEVERMIND:

I refreshed it about a dozen times, and then 2008 magically became 2009

 

[MyMuse]

YIPEEEEEE!!!!




Though, I guess we should wait for any further festivities until it's "official official"?

Woo Hoo!! My ADR date is 9/6, so I needed these hours. My DW will be stoked when I show her these tonight. She is a planning fool!

 

[annnewjerz]

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I edited the original post to include the TA link for the hours.

In case anyone needs it, here it is:

Great!! Has anyone had experience with this site when they post hours before WDW's website to know if they are completely accurate? The hours themselves look right, but the Fantasmic schedule kind of surprised me. It's all over the place in terms of what night of the week it is showing.

To find out how accurate they are, I'd go to the link for the TA site for November hours and compare them to what WDW has. I don't think people would post this link month after month if they weren't accurate or VERY close to accurate. Sure, things can be added/taken away and changed, but so can the hours once they are posted on WDW's site.

HTH!

Sorry to be glum, but it says 2008 at the top of the page. So, I cross-checked the Micky's Christmas Party dates and they don't match the 2009 dates for the party on the Disney site. So, I'm still

Thanks for trying though!

Did you re-fresh several times? Another poster just said that is what had to be done for the 2009 to open on their computer.

I'm looking at the 2009 calendar that everyone is referring to, and the MVMCP dates definitely match up to the actual 2009 dates on the WDW website.

Clear your cookies. Thats what i had to do to get the 09 hours to come up.

 

[HeatherBelle614]

Does anyone know how soon WDW normally updates their website after this travel agent link comes out?

I've actually seen this happen with previous months (the TA link being posted before WDW hours), but I'm just curious if I should print and memorize it now lmao or wait a couple more days since my ADR day isn't until Friday.

Or, I guess my OCD side can print this, memorize it, and still wait on the official hours to confirm.

I'm excited that there is no Fantasmic or EMH at DHS on Monday Dec 7. I was hoping that there wouldn't, it should be a less crowded day at DHS.

I agree!Thats the day we are planning on going to DHS as well. We've seen Fantasmic a few times, and with it only being shown a couple of times a week, the studios can be a madhouse on those days.

So, what's the concensus on the December hours so far?

I happen to LOVE the hours. They were exactly what I was hoping for, and more, actually.

Here's what I love:

1. EMHs are on all of the days I had hoped they would be. Typically, we avoid EMH days, but without hoppers and with the park hours being so short, we plan to take advantage of them to the fullest this trip.

2. Fantasmic. It is NOT on the day we were planning/hoping to go to DHS. This is Fantastic if you ask me. With the cut-backs on showtimes, I was hoping to go on a day they weren't showing it in order to avoid excessive crowds. Score!

3. Earlier park closings. I know I said I was happy they had EMHs because of the shortened park hours, but I more meant for the mornings. We are hoping to do a lot of Signature dinners this trip and with most of the parks closing at 7:00 or 8:00 a lot of the nights, I don't have to feel bad about "wasting" precious park time. For example, Animal Kingdom at night was a MUST for us this trip. The park with evening EMH closes at 8:00. We will leave around 7:30 and go to Jiko for a 8:30 reservation---which means missing only 30 minutes of park time. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

4. Illuminations at 9:30. This is good because it'll give us, in theory, an extra 30 minutes in the World Showcase. Since I'll be lugging my tripod around for night photography, this is a definite plus.

So----you guys happy or unhappy with the hours that were released earlier?

Yup, I have December 1-31, 2009 just like all of the other post-ers. As suggested, you may want to clear your cookies and try again. They most definitely are the 2009 hours.
