HEADS UP... Disney just changed the EMH schedule for July all the way thru Dec...

Warning - just read on easywdw that Disney has changed the EMH schedule for July thru December...

 

[JosieMouse]

Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the information. It actually has impact on my plan.... Was planning to hop to MK on 24Aug (Sun( for EMH till 1am... but now they moved it to 23Aug (Sat) which is the same night as the hard ticket party.

That changes our plans. We planned to go to MK on Monday the 20th, and won't be there for a Sat. so no EMH pms for us at MK, unless we pay for a MNSSHP. Seems strange that they would go from two evening EMH to only one per week. I could understand if attendance was dropping and they were trying to save on labor, etc...
Are they hoping people will buy hard ticket events to stay later at MK?

This impacts my early October trip. Bummer. Back to the drawing board.

Wow. That will affect a lot of people. We were planning AK for Aug 23 so I guess we can hop to MK after dinner but not everyone has that option.

So I get up at midnight to set up fast passes sixty days in advance to plan exactly what park and what ride I want to be on two months from now (around the EMH no less)- and now the hours change? I am so less than thrilled (to say the very least)! I had already skipped renewing my APs this year after experiencing FP plus. Not sure what my breaking straw will be to make be go somewhere else- but I feel that straw starting to poke me.

I will be visiting Sept 3-12 and get NO evening EMH at MK at all. AND they are closing early on that Fri and Sat nights for Night of Joy. I am pretty steamed at them at the moment. LOVE my one chance at late nights at the MK. I have sent an email. Hopefully, I will hear from them and voice my loud complaint. And it does totally mess up the plans.

 

[wdisneyaholic]

Totally messed up my schedule and I'm 26 days out. Not a very nice thing to do when people make their FP+ selections 60 days out. Now I have to switch dining and FP+. This seems more like a job and less like a vacation.

But on a good note, I'm real thankful I read these boards!!

Ps- thanks original poster- for the heads up - even if it is bad news- better to know now than be surprised later

Is it only MK EMH? When I looked through my dates of July27-August 7 and December 21-28, I only noticed MK. I am sad about the change, as my arrival date of July 27th was originally evening EMH and I was planning to be one of the last ones out of the park

 

[Disney Dynamite]

Thanks for the heads up, OP!

 

[DebbieB]

I don't understand why they release hours and make ADR's 180 days in advance. I thought 120 was too much. They should make it 90 days, then they can decide the schedule and not make drastic changes.

For my trip 8/20-8/29 it also modified AK EMh

I had booked my FP+ already and got tickets for Villains Unleashed on August 23. I really want to try MK evening EMH. However, there is no way I can attend both the party and MK evening EMH. I initially planned to attend AK morning EMH on August 25 which has just been moved to August 24. I understand EMH hours are subject to change but this is very frustrating since my touring plans have to be adjusted due to not being able to attend both MK and AK EMH.

(Heavy Sigh)...Time to re-think all of my 9 park days in October.

I am in opposite boat- going to villians and planned to sleep in next day. I booked late afternoon FPs and figured on touring at night while not so hot or crowded. Now I get to go to MK use my FPs and get to bed hours earlier than planned

 

[Disfor3]

Does anyone know why the changes were made? Could this be a fluke/accident and maybe Disney will change it back? I hope so!

 

[Figment Mom]

Thanks for posting.

It only affects the first day of our trip and it's probably just as well. We'll be getting up at 4 a.m. to get to the airport. We probably don't need to be at the MK until 1 a.m.. 11 p.m. is probably late enough.

 

[agavegirl1]

Well that wasn't so bad. However, now our one evening at MK (no party that night) has EMH and will likely be a madhouse. We have a BOG ressie that evening so no changing plans.
