Is everything back to normal?

[tink1953]

Just wondering if everything at Disney World and the resorts were back to normal?

Hours ect.??

Have they brought back early entry yet?

How about late hours?

Not sure what normal is...

Hours are still pretty trim (depending on when you go), but the Magic Kingdom now has fireworks all but one or two nights, and Spectro at least twice a week. Makes me happy!

Early Entry is back, and it is now called Extra Magic hour, and Animal Kingdom is included. Not sure of the days, but if you ask around, i'm sure someone will know.

Late hours? Naw. I went the week before Martin luther King Day, and the hours were:

MK: 9 - 7 (Spectro on Wednesday, fireworks all but Fri night)
Epcot Future World: 9 - 7
Epcot World Showcase: 11 - 9 (Illuminations every night at 9)
MGM: 9 - 7 (Fantasmic at 7)
Animal Kingdom: 9 - 5

Peak season hours are somewhat later, maybe 9 - 10? I think? I'm not sure, cause I usually go in the off-season.

As always, hours vary throughout the year. 9-7 is fairly normal for Jan and Feb, with 9-9 on some Saturdays. Epcot is open 9-9 year-round and DAK is open 9-5 year-round.
During Peak seasons, park hours for MK can be anywhere from 9am-9pm to 8am-1am. Extra Magic Hour is at a different park each day, and I think that E-ride nights at MK have been announced for Feb.

We have more characters in more locations than ever before.
Three new attractions are set to open in 2003 (2 at Epcot and 1 at MK).
Two new stores just opened at Downtown Disney.
....And, in 2002 Magic Kingdom was the highest attended theme park on EARTH!!!

define "normal" ... the economy is still sputtering, so I don't think we are "back to normal" if you consider normal being the skyrocketing-Internet-boom-economy days of yore.
