Entertainment schedules for September (Fantasmic and Electrical Parade)

[MommiePrincess]

For our trip last year I know that park hours and entertainment schedules were posted on line the main Disney site at least 3 months in advance. I am trying to find out the schedule for Fantasmic and the Electrical Parade for September (also park hours). I called Disney and the nice lady on the phone said they only know hours and entertainment schedules 45 days out and could only guess that Fantasmic shows on weekends in September and the Electrical Parade stops in mid-August for the rest of the year. Does this sound correct? She could tell me Fantasmic showed the last weekend in August and from there on it was guessing on her part. Anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks!

She also said that if Fantasmic shows on weekends in September that priority seating might not be functioning then. That is what I was calling about initially. Also the priority seating for the Electrical parade would not be available if it ran in September, but she felt confident that last showing for that parade is the third week in August. Seems very early to stop that for the year!!

Unfortunately ELP is seasonal and is usually not running after labor day due to DCA closing earlier. Because of Nightastic it'll be running until Aug. 23 but don't know how much longer after that. F! And Fireworks are only on the weekends in September. Park hours for previous years are:

DL: M-Th 10-8, F 9-11, Sat 8-12, Sun 9-10
DCA: M-Th 10-6, F-Sat 10-9, Sun 10-8

Fantasmic will play FrSaSu. The Electrical Parade will not be running.

Park hours will likely be, for Disneyland at least, until 8PM on Mo-Th and until midnight Fr-Su. Disneyland has gotten in the habbit of keeping the park open to midnight pretty much year-round FrSaSu, especially lately because the mix of locals has gone way up, and locals tend to arrive late and stay late.
