Disney World operating hours released through December 13 2022​

it is interesting on Disneyworld.com the hours calendar only goes to Dec 9th. But on MDE app the hours go out until Dec 19th. This doesn’t make sense to me.

It’s pretty normal in my experience for them not to be in sync. It doesn’t make sense, but it happens quite often.

Wicked Wind Down has been extended for DVC members. It was available only through October 12 and now all of a sudden the site says "reservations available on select nights within a 60-day rolling calendar." I just called and was able to book for the Halloween fireworks for October 30.

Mysterious Signs Installed at EPCOT Main Entrance

A set of new signs has been installed at the main entrance to EPCOT, and outside of containing the logo for the park, we’re not really sure what these signs are for. There have been updates to existing signage to utilize the new EPCOT font and color scheme, but these signs didn’t exist until recently. The signs contain the EPCOT logo, but nothing else at the moment. It’s possible that they could be used in the future as informational signs, perhaps for park hours, but at the moment the only purpose they serve is to befuddle. Here’s a look at the signs, let us know what you think they could be in the comments below or on social media!

I feel like they could've used something that looks less like a biohazard symbol. Yes I realize they are the logo but many will not.

I'll bet those are for temporary signs, announcing showtimes and such. The semicircle at the bottom suggests to me that it's there to hold things in place.
