December Park Hours

[Julie L]

Does anyone know when the park hours are released for December?

I'm trying to do our itinery but finding it difficult without knowing the opening hours. I know that on this site there are times given for December, but these are 'projected'. On looking at when MVMCP nights are on and the hours announced for MK I cant see that they are correct, as i am under the impression that the park shuts at 6.00 on these nights and re opens for party ticket holders only.

Thanks for the help!!!!

Park hours are not released until around 60 days before the beginning of the month. So Decembers hours will not be out until the beginning of October (I'm waiting for them too!!). You are correct that on MVMCP nights the MK will close to non ticket holders earlier in the evening.

Im waiting for them too

Looking at past years I've found the following:

MK
9am to 8pm upto about 23rd Dec. then 9am to 12am
(May open later on Spectro/Wishes nights)

MGM
9am to 7pm upto about 23rd Dec. then 9am to 10:30pm

AK
8am to 5pm upto about 23rd Dec. then 8am to 8pm

Epcot Future World
9am to 9:30pm

Epcot World Showcase
11am to 9:30pm

This is my itinary from 2003. It might act as a guide for your own. I too am waiting for the December 2005 park hours to be officially confirmed as we're off to WDW again for the Christmas period (will be at MVMCP Dec 13th!). Have fun!!!

How do you know when the early entry days are, have they already been announced. The same for the times for spectromagic and wishes??

Have you already booked your Candlelight Procession dinner - I thought this could only be booked 90 days before!

Help, i'm starting to panic that i've not booked things.

December park hours have not been published and people are just guessing from past years. The same for Spectro, Wishes etc, the times are just a guess.

The CP dinner package has not gone on sale yet, however this will probably be put on sale before the 90 day mark, keep an eye out on the boards for when info is available for this.

The only things I have booked so far for our Christmas trip is two backstage tours, so do not panic!!
