May 2005 Park Hours

[umbluegray]

When should I expect the park hours to be available for May? We go the 1st 2 weeks in May and it's coming up on time to make our PS reservations.

I've got the traditional hours. How accurate do they tend to be with the actual hours?

Thanks

They should be out around March 1. I would look at last year's as a guide. One thing different about this year is the EMH (extra magic hour).

I was also looking at the projected May hours, and I saw that on Thursday, May 19 the projected closing for MK is 10:00 and on Friday, May 20th the projected closing for MK is 12:00! (Closing is 9:00 before and after those days.) Anyone know why there is such a late predicted closing? I thought midnight was kinda late for May...
Thanks!!

They're usually out 2 months before. You can find historical park hours for the Disney-MGM Studios at http://www.mgmstudios.org/hours to help start planning.

I've found the projected hours on wdwinfo aren't very reliable. They sometimes don't lineup days of the week correctly when looking at the prior year's dates. For example, they had MK projected closing at 6:00pm on Saturday nights in early December. They ended up being open until midnight! I think they were looking at Friday night from the prior year when it closed early for MVMCP.

I look at the hours from last year on this site:

They sometimes don't pickup last minute changes but I think they are a better indicator.

Thanks... I figured it was a rough estimation. I know how much the hours change, even after they've already been posted.
I was just hoping there wasn't some huge something or other planned for what I'm hoping is going to be a relatively quiet week in May!
