Park Hours?? and other hours??

[Adi12982]

When does DL release it's park hours for the summer (particularly late June). I went to check, and I was surprised to see they weren't out yet (I'm a WDW vet and WDW releases them 6 months in advance - - at least for the last few years). Also, are they usually the same from year to year - if so what are the hours like mid to late June for a Monday through Saturday, THANKS!!

Do you know the times of the Electric Light Parade, Fantasmic and the fireworks during this time too?

Also, do any of you know the usual hours (or where I can find them) for restaurants and DTD??

THANKS for helping me with my very first DLR trip!!

I do not know about restaurant hours, but park hours over the last few years are archived in MousePlanet's weekly DLR park updates. Here is a link to all of them: www.mouseplanet.com/search.php?type=c&cid=dl

Sometime in mid to late June DLR goes to maximum park hours. Historically this means DL open 8AM-Midnight every day. Last summer, they experimented with closing DL at 11PM on weeknights.

DCA is typically open 10AM-10PM during this time.

Here is a direct link to the DLR park update for June 19, 2006 so you can see what the hours looked like. It appears DCA was open only until 9PM in late June, and they did not go until 10PM until July 1.

Fantasmic is 9 and 10:30 year round when they have two shows. Fireworks are 9:25. ELP is usually 8:45.

Wow, they used to only release the hours for WDW in chunks of three months, so sometimes you would only have one month's notice. That's the way it was up to and including my last trip in Sept 2005. I see from their website that they've progressed to 6 months. Very cool.

I actually had the opposite experience when I started researching for DL. I was impressed that they kept their calendar current 4 months out. I never found postings here of "Are the hours out yet" like I saw all the time on the WDW boards. (It's been awhile.)

I don't think you'll have any problems in June. I'm sure the hours will be at their longest by then. I'm going in March and it's weird to have a Disney park (DCA) opened only 10-6. Maybe Californians huddle inside when the sun goes down
