Impatient for update of Thanksgiving week hours

[Wojodis]

I know, I know, I know--it will work out fine whatever they are but I just want the COMPLETE and FINALIZED park hours and schedule of events/attractions available already. I know AK hours were updated recently but that was it. I assume, maybe stupidly, that MK hours will definitely be extended for that week and possibly for every other week in November as well (especially when you look at October's schedule)--weeks with numerous party nights seem to have significantly extended hours on days when the party is not held. The schedule also isn't available at EPCOT when you look at certain character experiences beginning the 24th. It's just so difficult to ever feel DONE when there are still so many things that will probably change.

Don't expect that until sometime in early Nov.

I hear you....waiting on Jersey Week hours to change as they did last year. Last year I think Jersey Week got changed around October 15th.

I was wondering if the late modifications (to pretty much everything) are Disney's way of helping out off site guests a bit or if they're truly just dependent on crowd levels and demand? I was in MK a couple years ago when they extended the pm hours day of so I always thought it was a supply and demand type of thing. Funny how back then I didn't even think twice about it--look at how it all changes when you are the one making the plans!

1. are Disney's way of helping out off site guests a bit
2. or if they're truly just dependent on crowd levels and demand?
3. I was in MK a couple years ago when they extended the pm hours day of so I always thought it was a supply and demand type of thing.

1. <10%
2. >90%.
3. Yup.

I know we'll have to wait for the official updates to times, but those of you who go Thanksgiving week ---> I seem to remember MK opening at 8 that week (pushing EMH a.m to 7:00 on day sit was EMH)... and maybe MK closing hours pushing back to midnight at least mid week? (Because I remember an evening EMH going till 2:00 or 3:00 in morning once) .... this match what others remember? Do you remember if traditionally other parks like HS or EP open an hour early or stay open later during this week? I can't recall...

I know it may be different this year, but trying to remember last few years so we can all get a tentative idea....

Nope. I have looked at the historic hours because we are going that week this year. MK is typically the only 8am open that week. The wild card may be AK though, since Pandora is fresh and drawing lots of people.

We went in June. They updated the hours for the three days of June that was included in that week. The real update was I believe that Saturday.

Thanks! I could only remember MK being early open, but I wasn't sure if HS opened early or stayed open any later... Prob just wishful hoping!

Not to be a downer, but I would not expect to see the same hour trends in previous years for MK. It closed early all summer. We kept expecting them to expand, because they always have in each year we've done Disney (past 5 consecutive years)...but they never stayed open past 10pm while we were there this summer. I would certainly hope they do--because you know crowd levels are higher...but this is a cost cutting thing they are doing this year.

That's how I remember it many times when we have gone Thanksgiving week, mainly longer hours added to MK, both AM and PM.

I'd be content with it staying the way it is, if Disney would just TELL us that it's not going to change. We're rope droppers, but 7 am EMH is brutal.

Tomorrow is my FP+ day for arrival 11/25. I'm more annoyed that the CP narrators aren't announced during my stay other than one actor with whom I'm not familiar sure would be nice to have in place pre 60 day window.
