While I really really hope that the TA calendar is correct, it does seem weird that the site would be updated before that was. The site usually takes some time to catch up to the TA calendar. I'm crossing my fingers that the site is just being glitchy!
 
Also, when I pull up the park hours in MDE, it is still showing MK EMH on Sundays, including the 17th, and 24th. I think that someone was just seeing a temporary glitch. ::yes::
 
24th shows EMH at AK when I log into MDE...

Very bizarre!!!

I just can't imagine that they would change the EMH's....people make their dining reservations etc....around those hours, so I dunno. My MDE app is showing it as it always has been, so I'm not sure if there is a way to confirm either way....:confused3
 

The Disney site has the changed hours. Touring Plans has the changed hours. And these changes only happened in the past couple days. The TA calendar was last updated 10 days ago, before the changes on the site. So I'm thinking the site is most up to date--and not happy about it! Planned my days based on EMH. Kids were looking forward to a real late night at MK. Now the only one during our stay is on the 23rd and we're going to Villains. Planned AK day to take advantage of morning EMH and now those have moved. They make us plan so far in advance and then go and do this....not happy! :furious:
 
The EMH don't really effect me, but I really feel for those that it does. It is pretty upsetting given how much we think and rethink our plans and then BAM! Sorry, we're changing things. Not a huge deal if they add hours but frustrating when they're taken away. Hopefully it's just a glitch.

My big dilemma right now is my Boma ADR. I was a little worried what the kids will eat (thinking DS will enjoy his $40 chicken, Mac and cheese and desserts; DD is a little more adventurous but not much). Plus DH will freak when the cost hits him (he's saying he's ok with it now but I know him too well). Add on to that my recent surgery (gallbladder removed), so now I really can't eat a lot of food at one sitting any more. I think that all adds up to time to let it go. Maybe do the food tour and hopefully get a few samples instead.

I just looked on the MDE app and it shows MK closing at 11 on the 24th with no EMH. I hope the site is wrong or experiencing problems.
 
I got an email from Delta saying that my return flight had been changed from a direct, to a one stop. The change over is in Atlanta and we'd only have 50 minutes to make it. We have done this change over going to Orlando and ended up missing our connecting flight because Delta took off late and getting stuck in Atlanta overnight. After that, I specifically booked the last direct flight out so that we could still have a good chunk of our last day in the park.

Delta has no other direct flights that day that are late but we can reschedule to another day. I'm thinking I'll just add a day on to our trip, the 23rd, so we can go to the Villains party, therefore making me feel better about having to leave earlier on our last day. I'd also have to buy another 1 day park hopper, as our TA can only sell 8 day tickets I guess. We could potentially just do the Villain party that first day, but I feel a little panicky about not going to MK at all our first day (we usually do HS and then MK our first day).

Would I be crazy to add on another day and the Villains party (so 9 park days)? How many days in a row in the parks is too many ?

I need all the plans Ive worked so hard on for months to stop changing on me:scared::scared::scared:!!

interesting, Delta changed my return flight too but thankfully just delayed it by 1/2 hour and not made it one with a stop.
 
I'm late to this discussion- did they change hours for EMH by chance does anyone know the 9th-the 19th? TIA

I'd be concerned that if you attend the Villians party, you won't get your money's worth out of an additional park ticket for that same day. I hear ya about having certain traditions for each trip, though. For us, it was always to end our trip at MK. But with our last vacation or two, we just couldn't work out the schedule that way. So, if you don't mind spending the money, I'd go for both. But, if not getting your money's worth will bug you, then I'd go for the party.
 
OK, I'm getting confused with all the back and forth on the August hours! Have they changed, they haven't changed:confused3

What are we thinking for MK on the 29th? 7p.m. close or 11? Won't affect us big time but I'd like to plan around it................

Mde hours are what we're going by as they seem the most updated at this point, that of course could change lol....

I am also furious. I wrote a letter. I wanted that AK EMH - with my kids - the earlier the better and PM MK EMH for MY DISNEY SIDE date night!! I can't change it now without losing BOG ADR and really- why should I have to go to the stress of changing so many ADRs and fp+ reservations?! I get that it's not all about me and there must be a reason for the changes. Still. So disappointed.

Hi everyone! :wave2:

We'll be staying at AoA in a LM standard room from August 7-15. Only 44 days to go! Like someone else said, I feel like I'm wishing my summer vacation away (I'm a teacher) to get to this trip, but I've been waiting 3 years to get back to WDW and I'm so excited it's finally so close :good vibes

I must not have been doing my homework because I didn't realize there were EMH changes until I read the last few pages of this thread. I need to look back at my plans and see if this affects anything.

I also saw something mentioned about BOG Lunch FP+ becoming invite only. Does anyone have more info about this? Thanks!

Hi! I've been watching a BOG FP thread over in restaurants. They've been available through a special website, supposedly email invite only but people have gotten them without an invite as well. The dates haven't progressed past i think around July 8. Someone got info that it might be changing to being available only once you check in rather than ahead of time. Since it's a new scenario, no one knows sure if you would still have to get an invite or not. And it's still rumor; no one knows for sure if it's even been changed. Or maybe they're just not offering it anymore. At this point I'm just planning like I have to wait in line :)

Thanks for the info! I was really hoping to get the FP as a surprise for our friends who have no idea such a thing exists :rotfl:, so if it doesn't work out it will be okay. I've been logging in to the site every few days and it just tells me there are no times available for my dates. I guess I'll just keep an eye on it. Thanks :goodvibes
