Park Hours not listed 6 months out

[tguz]

I am able to book my ADR's on Monday the 29th of January. However, it looks like park hours and early and late extra magic hours will not be announced yet for my check in date of 7/28. Today is 1/25 and in MDE, park hours are only out through 7/20. If you can book ADR's 180 days out, why do they not have park hours listed 180 days out to make things easier? I want to book Be Our Guest on a day that the MK has extra magic hours. I guess I have to book a reservation for everyday and then when park hours are announced, I will have to go back in and cancel all the reservations except the day I want that has the extra hours. There seems like there should be an easier way.

I think both things come available at the same time, park hours and reservation times, which I know may not be ideal if you are deciding which day to do which parks and/or meals based on the park hours (i have the same issue). I looked up historical park hours for the same week we are going this year to give me an idea of which parks we will do which days. And am basing my ADRs off of that. Make sure you try all types of calendar options if you are on your computer using MDE. The drop down only shows 7/20 but if you go into week mode you will see 7/20 - 7/24.

Also, Park Hours are subject to change even after they are announced so they are not 100% set in stone (although I think it doesn't usually change that much).

You should be seeing up to 7/24 which is 180 days out.
Its a 180 day rolling calendar.
Park hours are likely to be updated about 3-6 weeks out as well.

Rolling 180 day park hours are all you’ll get if you stick with Disney’s website. Other planning resources such as Kenny the Pirate and Touring Plans post calendars that go further out, presumably from educated guesses and/or other sources.

For MK EMHs, it is probably likely that the more or less typical Wednesday PM EMH and Friday AM EMH pattern will be what the calendar shows. EMH days can sometimes be shifted around of course, but for any standard non-holiday/non-event week, there’s a reasonable chance it’ll fit that pattern. But always check though, and re-check leading up to your trip.
