Does anyone know how or where I can find out the historical times for WDW parades & nighttime shows? I have found on wdwinfo.com the historical hours for the parks, but not for entertainment. I am trying to estimate entertainment times for June '05. Some stuff is easy to figure out, like Illumintations (that is always at 9pm) but not Wishes or Spectromagic. Anyone out there have any ideas?
 
Unfortunately Baloo, that link doesn't have the information I am looking for. I can put in the dates for my trip and it will give me estimated PARK hours for the time period, but it does not estimate the times for entertainment (like Wishes, Spectro, Jungle Jammin' Parade, etc.). Is there any website that archives entertainment times for the past several years, that I could study. I am trying to guesstimate important times for June 2005 and of course Disney will not have the real hours out until 3 months before our trip and I am trying to create an itinerary so when it comes time to make reservations/priority seating I will know what park I want to go to on what day.
 
I don't know of a site offhand, but A couple points to note:
It depends on when in June you plan to go. The first week or so in June is not summer season yet, so the close times and what is presented nightly is different than the typical summer hours, which generally start anywhere from June 6th - 13th.

Mickey's Jammin Jungle Parade is almost always at 4pm daily.

SpectroMagic tends to be either two hours or three hours before the MK closes and then a second showing 1 hour before the MK closes. In other words if the park closes as midnight, then there is usually SpectroMagic at 9pm and 11pm with Wishes (or the fireworks show) at 10pm. In June, it gets dark very late, so don't expect any night time stuff before 8:00pm. If SpectroMagic is not showing at all, then they usually do Wishes at around 9pm.

Disney is notorious for randomly swapping showtimes and even cancelling performances, so it may be difficult to guesstimate.
 

Thanks ShadowWind and DebbieB :sunny: . The suggestions and the website are very helpful. I will definitely keep in mind that this is only a guesstimate and Disney will mostly likely change it. ShadowWind - we are going right when the onslot begins in June (no real choice secondary to school schedules) but we will have 8 days for park touring, so by doing some planning I am hoping we will be able to see a lot, not everything, but a lot. We will be there from June 11-20, 2005. What I am really excited about is this trip is a surprise for my 3 godchildren 12, 10 & 5 and I can't wait. They have never been to ANY Disney park and they would never be able to go without monetary help, so my husband and I are taking them and my best friend, their Mom. I am the big Disney fan in their lives, so everytime I am around they bombard me with questions about Disney. I can't wait to tell them (their Mom knows) but we aren't going to tell them until a few days before we go. They are going to be so excited :teeth: . Also 2 of the kids will have their birthdays while we are there. Which is even better. Can't wait :D
