How late are DL/CA open in December?

[scarlet_ibis]

When I looked last night, the park hours for December hadn't been posted yet. I was just wondering if I should splurge on a Concierge Level, thinking we'll go back to the park after the evening snack, or whether they close up early. Thanks!

When is Dec will be the big question. First half, Mon-Thurs 10am-8pm, Fri-Sun 9am-11pm. Second half, 9-11 all week.

Malcon10t, that is not quite accurate, I think it is more likely to go as follows for this year:

Dec. 1st Through Dec. 15h -
Mon.-Thrs.
DL - 10 A.M. - 8:00 P.M.
DCA - 10 A.M. - 6:00 P.M.

Fri.
DL - 9 A.M. - 11:00 P.M.
DCA - 10 A.M. - 8:00 P.M.

Sat.
DL - 9 A.M. - Midnight
DCA - 10 A.M. - 8:00 P.M.

Sun.
DL - 9 A.M. - 10:00 P.M.
DCA - 10 A.M. - 8:00 P.M.

Dec. 16th - Jan. 1st
DL - Days with Early Entry - 9 A.M. - Midnight, Days without Early Entry 8 A.M. - Midnight
DCA - 10 A.M. - 10:00 P.M.

Notable Exceptions:
Day that the Christmas Day Parade is Taped (Early December) may see shorter hours.

Candlelight Processional Weekend will most likely be 8 A.M. to Midnight at Disneyland Fri.-Sun.

Disneyland's Christmas Party for their Cast Members will have Disneyland close at 6 P.M., opening may be moved up to as early as 6 A.M. (Probably 7 A.M. though), depending on projected attendance levels for that day, which will be based on attendance levels as it gets closer. Additionally, DCA may be open until 10 P.M. or later that night, depending on crowd levels.

Please note that I am not a Cast Member and have no inside information. But I do have an Annual Pass and this is based off of a combination of experience and what recent hour changes have been. I may turn out to be slightly wrong, but I am guessing that I won't be off by more than 1 hour in any of the above.

What part of December is that cast party in? I think we'll PROBABLY be okay.

It's not known yet which two nights will be the party night, but may be during the first or second week of December.

Shucks, because we're only planning on being there 2-3 nights. Historically, is it midweek or weekend?

Cmwade: DCA hasn't closed at 6:00 since WOC debuted.
