Fall 2011 Park Times

[MND]

Does anyone know when park times for November will be available? We're planning our first family trip to Disneyland the first week of November and was interested in doing some planning. I see that park times through Saturday November 5th are available, but not for that next week.

Also, the first week in November doesn't have show times scheduled, even though the park times are listed. I've been to WDW a couple times and I believe their hours are listed far in advance.

When I most recently visited Disneyland as a child in 1976, I wasn't into planning as much.

Thanks for your help!

I've never done WDW, but I know that the planning is much more long-range for that kind of trip. Disneyland only seems to post park hours about six weeks out and show schedules even later.

From what I recall of being at the parks around that time of year once, I would say that Disneyland would most likely have hours of 10 AM - 8 PM on the weekdays with longer hours on the Friday and Saturday for sure and maybe Sunday. I would expect opening times of 8 AM or 9 AM on Friday and Saturday with a closing time of 10 PM, 11 PM, or midnight. DCA will probably have shorter hours, probably 10 AM - 6 PM or 7 PM on the weekdays and 10 AM opening still on the weekends but probably a later closing hour.

As far as show schedules go, I would expect less entertainment during the week. I'm not sure if fireworks will go on that week since it's just before the holiday season officially starts. Fantasmic will most likely play on Friday and the weekend and sometimes might even be on the weeknights in the absence of a fireworks show. Aladdin will be dark two days, either Tues/Wed or Wed/Thurs, can't remember which. WoC will probably go on at least once per night.

Anyway, those are my best guesses. Disney should start posting more in a couple of weeks, and you will be able to plan better then.

Spirit Mountain?


Like said it takes a while to fill in, so give it a week and it should be a week ahead so you can see the official hours. Entertainment takes a while, major will fill in first, minor later.
