Earlier hours for DHS during Christmas Week?!!

[liling1]

Hi, everyone! Do any of you with experience in the past over christmas week at Disney know if they open DHS park even earlier than the posted hours? Currently, EMH at MK is posted as 8-9am. However, I have heard in the past that during Christmas week they have opened at 7am. If they do open the parks earlier, do they notify resort guest?
I have a 12/23, 8am advanced dining reservation at DHS hoping to be in the park before rope drop (no emh that day and 9am scheduled opening). I know they may have 8:45am soft opening. If it's possible they may open at 7/8am, I may drop my ADR (trying to get to JTA). If they do change it, I'm hoping they'll notify guest at least in enough time to cancel the ADR without fees. Any thoughts from the veterans would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

It looks like the hours just got changed in the last day or two at the WDW web site. MK got moved to 8AM (with a 7AM EMH), and AK got moved to 8AM, but DS is still 9AM on the 23rd. It is 8AM on the 24th and 25th. So, you are probably okay, unless they extend hours again later. Possible---they just extended thanksgiving last week---but I think you might be okay.
