Hours for Christmas Day at Epcot

[LisaDKG]

In 2016, opening hours for Epcot for Dec. 24 & 25th were 8:00am. This year, the park is open at 8:00am for the whole week of Christmas EXCEPT the 24th and 25th. Does anyone know if something similar happened last year, and Epcot's Christmas Days hours changed closer to the date? I know that Disney is famous for changing hours at any time, but it is weird that those 2 days would STILL be showing a 9:00am opening since crowd predictions are so high.
Thanks!

Expect Epcot to open at 8AM Dec. 24 & 25.

I think the hours are "I can't believe I'm getting up this early on vacation" till "I don't think I can take another step, will someone carry me to the room?"

Thank you both! Does anyone have any recollection as to when these hours were released last year? I've got some wacky FP+ times that I'm hoping to rectify if new hours also release new FPs.
