Change in February schedule??

[3Mousketeers]

Have I been under a rock or did Disney just change their hours???? We'll be at WDW 2/9-2/13 and I just noticed by chance in the Disney website that MK is now open until 10:00 on 2/11 and Wishes is being offered every night? I checked with Tourguide Mike and he lists Disney as being open until 9:00 on 2/11 (but Wishes at 10:00). Does this mean Disney expects higher than usual crowds? Please say no!!! I also think EMH might have changed too. Is it MGM late entry on 2/10 (instead of Epcot)?
Can anyone confirm the hours for me?
These changes are not good for my blood pressure - can you tell I'm a type A personality!!
Thanks!

Also, the MK parade and fireworks were rescheduled for 2/14 from 8&9 to 9&10.

We will be at Disney Feb.2-12. I just looked again and couldn 't believe it had changed again. This is very difficult for us OCD planners. Being so many people noticed this I am going to believe it's true. Hopefully this won't change again before we leave.

From one neurotic planner to another - what do you guys think about this -
This new schedule changes my whole itinerary & I would appreciate your help & advice. Keep in mind we have DS's almost 7 and 5 and DD 19 mo.
My original itinerary was this:
2/9 arrive AKL around noon - hang out at resort, eat dinner at Boma, turn in early.
2/10 - morning at Epcot future world (we're skipping World Showcase this trip, though I love it), lunch at Coral Reef, afternoon at MGM (no Fantasmic this time, we saw it last time).
2/11 - MK all day, capped by Wishes (never seen it).
2/12 - AK all day, some time at resort pool, weather permitting.
2/13 - leave 8:00 am.

New Itinerary:
2/9 Same.
2/10 MK today instead & see Wishes at much earlier 7:00 showing.
2/11 Epcot (hope we can get PS at Coral Reef still) / MGM
2/12 Same
2/13 Same

Thanks for your input. My DH appreciates it too, so he doesn't have to listen to me.

Where do I find the hours? I find the Disney site difficult to navigate.

Click on "Parks" (upper left hand of screen). Click on the park you want to check. For ex, click on Magic Kingdom and at bottom left of screen it says (in very small print) Today's Park Hours & right under that it says "Monthly Park Hours". Click on that & enter the month you want to check. It then gives you a monthly calendar and you can click on each day to give you the time of special events being offered.
That's the obsure way I figured it out - don't know if there's an easier way!
