Park Hours for Feb Keep Changing?

[bebec22]

MK hours have been extended for the length of my trip. One of my MK days (2/20) the park was scheduled to close at 8pm but now it's 11pm. It doesn't really make a difference to me because my kids go to bed early anyways but Wishes is scheduled for 8pm that night. Is that likely to change? Or is it possible that they will have 2 shows? I feel like they have had 2 fireworks shows on trips I've taken in the past...

It has nothing to do with the calendar you're looking at. Disney has changed the whole month of December to 8 a.m. openings the past couple of years, I believe.

Not the whole month. Our first day in MK last December (12th) it opened at 9am, and several other mornings it also opened at 9am during our 16 day stay. It also stated HS opened at 9am most days when it was 8.30am from Sunday 18th December. I was giving my opinion based on our experience from visiting every December and the problems the hour changes cause us.

We do not find this a reliable source of opening/closing times. We visit every December and have this problem every year. We plan, we book ADR's, we book fastpasses, and then what happens? Disney go and change the opening times/magic hours so our PPO ADR gets cancelled, our meticulous planning to try and make the most of everything in Disney at Christmas has to be changed. Annoying, but we've come to accept that Disney will continue to do this. Occasionally the changes are in our favour so it's not all bad. We just overbook our ADR's and cancel as we go along.

Exactly what @Missyrose said. Its not that particular calendar. And its not that they are unreliable...they are just going off the hours that Disney releases. For the most part, they will all update once Disney releases any changes...it just may take them several days or so to do so.

See Feb 14th & 16th both still have 8pm closings.

Chances of that being pushed to at least 9pm?

The 14th might - I doubt the 16th will be pushed since they have Disney After Hours that night and the event is billed as starting at 8:00PM. If they change the hours on the 16th, they'll have to push Disney After Hours from 8-11PM to 9PM-12AM. I'm not sure how likely they are to change the time of the hard-ticket event.
