Any guesses as to when (if) Disney will extend park hours for Christmas Week?

Done! I just checked. Hours have been extended!!

Hours have been extended into early December too - can't believe how much of December has been affected. They must be expecting some crazy crowds all month!

Still waiting to see if they will push Wishes to 10pm for Christmas week. It is still showing as 9pm.

HERE is one place to check.

There are others.

This is interesting. I knew that Disney often adjusted park hours in the days leading up to the holidays, but I didn't realize that they also changed the fireworks time.

We will be at MK on December 30th. The WDW website is currently showing that Holiday Wishes will be at 7:30. But, the link that Robo posted shows that Holiday Wishes has been at 9:00 historically on this day. We have an 8:30 ADR that I set up specifically so we wouldn't miss Wishes. Ugh.

When they change fireworks times around that must really mess up ADRs that center around fireworks viewing (like Cali Grill, etc).

Easywdw is also showing Wishes at 9 on the 30 and 31st but the official calendar is still saying 7:30 (It's also showing MSEP at 10 and 12:15AM on the 30th and 31st but the official calendar is still showing 6:30)

I've got the opposite issue - If EasyWDW is correct I scheduled my ADRs properly (based them on last year's numbers) - but if it's not I chose... poorly...

I have to say, I do not like all of these last minute schedule changes especially to things like fireworks and parades when people specifically schedule their ADRs around them. I've been to WDW many times but never over the holidays. I didn't even consider that I may have to check historical data to figure out when to schedule ADRs.

How about this...if EasyWDW is correct, my family can just pull 4 extra chairs up to your properly scheduled ADR. If the official website is correct, you can pull chairs up to our 8:30 ADR. Haha!!!
