Are June hours final yet?

[MinnieSweetheart]

I would honestly e-mail Disney and tell them that. The more people who tell them that they are changing their plans,or deciding not to come at all due to shorter than usual hours, the more likely they are to hear that and maybe actually listen.

Hadn't thought about it, but just sent one.

I'm hoping that June hours are extended after the After Hours thing is done on May 19th. I am planning right now as if they won't be tho.

Smart strategy, but I hope that they are.

I just emailed Disney about the June hours as well.

I'm really hoping for tomorrow or Monday as they extended May hours on Friday, April 15th. But I guess we shall see.

I heard they update on Fridays so maybe tomorrow or next Friday. I would like finalization for the following:

- Jungle Book FP or DP
- Star Wars fireworks of ANY kind times
- Frozen ride
- Soarin' old film?

 

[d-train]

we are leaving in 34 days too - would be surprised if the hours don't change, but you never know.

Just think of all the extra revenue from all of our purchases while they are open later...
Since those revenues are up during the second quarter, you would think they would want to continue
to capitalize on that - even if attendance and hotel sales continues with lower numbers.

Will they have the Soarin old film as an option?

The rumor is they may open up Soarin early but with the old film. But know one knows for sure.

So you would rather pay for the after hours event than just have MK open later, say 12am every night?

Dan,

Yes, yes I would gladly pay. I think it would be absolutely magical to be in the park late at night with a small crowd.

This is weighing on us too. We are considering (already have it booked but can cancel) a trip in August. All of our previous trips have been in September with all the advantages that come with that.... lower crowds, free dining, lower overall cost, good weather... Anyhow, we can't do Sept anymore. The ONE THING that August had as an advantage was longer park hours. If that's not going to happen now because of these after hours events, it will make us look elsewhere too with a good chance of cancelling our stay.

That's what I keep thinking about the currently relatively low summer MK hours. I am usually a fall visitor and I trade off shorter hours for the benefits of cooler weather, lower crowds, food&wine, holiday decorations. If I had to deal with the addition of summer heat and thunderstorms, none of those other fall benefits and not get the later hours, I'd be extremely disappointed.

This thread makes me laugh. The people complaining about June should check out July hours and think of the heat.

I'm from southeast Texas, on the Gulf coast. The heat doesn't bother me. We only had heat indexes in the 110's last summer. It was a pretty mild summer.

I just want to know about the extra events and parties

I'm lumping all of them together. Summer crowds, summer heat, summer thunderstorms and both calendars look about the same at the moment. Throwing more sympathy at June right now because it's only 2 weeks out for them vs 6 for July right now. I'm also assuming some decisions are being made relating to the after hours events and June July and possibly August might all get updated when those decisions are made.

I just emailed Disney about the June hours as well.

What is the email address that you used? I'm going to write as well.

I'm from central Texas and like going to Orlando in July, because it's nice to cool off. Always amuses me to hear people on the boards describe how "unbearably" hot Disney World is in the summer. If they only knew...

I sure hope it's soon, because we should be there in just 21 days, in early June!
