December Hours Question

[samara]

On the day we’re going to be at DHS in December, the listed park hours are 9am to 8pm, but Jingle Bell Jingle Bam is listed as starting at 8:30. Does this mean that all the attractions will close at 8 and guests will not be able to ride during JBJB? I was hoping lines for TSL might be shorter during the show.

Yes.

However, it is FAR too early for accurate final hours for Dec.
I'd expect the hours to be extended within the last weeks before the actual dates.

If the hours DO remain the same, it is not usual for "evening spectacular shows" to start
30 minutes, or so, after the rest of the parks attractions have closed.

You must enter the line by 7:59pm and you'll be able to ride no matter how long the wait.

Well F! is at 8pm so you can't have 2 fireworks shows at the exact same time.
For my dates of December 7-11 HS closes at 8pm with JBJB at 8:30pm and TBH I don't foresee hours extended during those dates but it sure would be awesome if they did.
What I'd really love is for the parks to extend morning hours but that's me just dreaming at this point lol.
Those 8am openings are what makes my day.
