Likelihood Easter Sunday Hours changing ?

[TammyLynn33]

They have MK opening at 9am.. I’m guessing this is a crazy busy day and parks will open at 8? Last year it was 8 acc to TP..
I have res for BoG for both lunch and breakfast .. we will end up cancelling one based on actual park opening
Thoughts ?
Thanks

While there has been a somewhat notable trend of late of fewer pre-9AM MK openings (I’m talking about this fall-Dec) when you compare year-over-year hours.... Easter has always been a pretty stout crowd time and a time when 8am openings are more common. My guess is the chances of an eventual 8AM MK opening during that time period are relatively high, but TBD of course.

Are you sure about that? Ha ha

73.84% chance.

Ours changed this year - was only 2 weeks out and messed up my PPO at Be Our Guest. They changed all the hours very close to the dates.

This is what worries me lol

Still waiting for Christmas weeks hours to change and it’s almost here!

I'd put it quite a bit higher than that.

OP, if I were you, I'd go ahead and cancel the breakfast ADR

Its very likely that park hours will be extended in the morning and at night for the entire week leading up to Easter and beyond.

From looking at the hours as of now I'd say there's not much room for extending. Don't quote me but its looking like those hours are pretty much set.

Hard to speak in absolutes with these things. For the first time since 2013 we didn’t see any 8am MK openings Thanksgiving week this year. While MK usually has historically had a flurry of 8am openings the week before and after Easter, nothing is absolute when it comes to the park calendar... as things like Thanksgiving this year show.

Hard to believe only 1 Fantasmic and HS closing at 9pm over Christmas week.
Used to have 3 Fantasmics and 7am MK opening.

Either really cutting back or for some reason not expecting massive crowds like normal.

I would keep what you have and cancel later if they change the hours.

I am in a similar situation in that we've booked an 8:10 ADR at BoG for this coming Sunday. I booked it fully prepared to cancel if they change the park hours. We're now 5 days out and they haven't changed the 9:00 opening so I've placed my order online and am prepared to go. If they change the hours last minute I'll be cancelling our breakfast and heading into the park at 8:00 with everyone else.

HS has had quite minimal hours for some time now. It is the only park that would possibly extend beyond the current hours. You made it seem like none of the parks had extended yet.
Also for HS remember they have another nighttime show so its kinda hard to do multiple F! and coordinate it with things like JBJB.
As for MK 7am opening that is the case one Christmas with EMH being from 6am-7am so not sure what you're talking about that there is no 7am opening.
The rest of the week its 7am EMH and 8am opening. Heck on the 30th its 7am EMH and 12am-2am EMH. If onsite you could be at MK from 7am-2am pretty close to 24 hours if you add in when you'd want to arrive and how long it would take you to exit.

I am a night owl at home but I would arrive at whatever time I had to for RD.
One year I went to MK from 7am-1am and then was back at 7am.
