March Park Hours Updates

Wow - so it really looks like they're sticking with the 9 a.m. opening time for the non-HS parks throughout the month of March! I kept waiting for an update, but March starts tomorrow. Is there any chance they could still announce earlier openings for the latter half of the month this Friday? Feels like it might be too late, but here's hoping...

I was really hoping to see some later evening hours added!

They can always change hours, even day of. I’m surprised they haven’t extended them either, but I’m not ruling out the chance they might.
 

When my daughter did the college program in 2012, she worked in MK and they extended park hours the day of, A LOT.

I would love to see it, but I wonder if the paid events would prevent them from extending day of - at least on the days they have something scheduled. For example, the day we're going to MK, EMM is scheduled from 7:45 - 9, so it would be difficult for them to open earlier than 9 (unless they are willing to cancel or shift those types of events). I know they also have multiple AH events that would need to be pushed if the park stayed open later...

They extended park hours so they stayed open later. I don't think they ever opened earlier but some nights they stayed open an extra hour or two.
 
I believe it was President's Day, so a busy day, they extended HS one hour longer the day of. So it just happens and people find out throughout the day.
 
Anyone have guesses at unofficial early park opening at HS now that MMRR is open?

I highly suspect DHS operations will continue as they have been - tapstyles will open around an hour before published park opening and you'll be let in up until further points to be held until opening. They'll probably let people start queuing up for MMRR like they currently do for SDD.
 
We arrive on March 28th, just over 3 weeks from now. HS opening is still scheduled for 9am from March 29th on. I am wondering if they will change those late march days when they update April.

We also arrive March 28 and I am guessing they probably will change. The speculation is they are deciding on 7 or 8am openings to handle the crowds building up to Easter. I am torn with which I prefer. 7am will be harder to make but will have less crowds therefore a little easier to get a boarding group based on the data of the earlier openings compared to the now 8am openings. 8 will be much easier to make (for me and anyone else) which means more crowds and more chance for ROTR BG shut out.

i really don't think they will push it to 7 am. According to everything i am reading they are trying to push HS back to regular operating hours.
 
Thanks. It's a bit maddening that they aren't updating hours more than a few weeks in advance.
 
Last few days of March and first few days of April are the only ones I'm watching/getting alerts on. Not sure if all of April got updated or not.

Now waiting for 8am FPs to open up!
I’m hoping for an 8am for 4/3. Was reading through the thread but couldn’t figure out how long it usually takes after an hours change.
