We arrived at WDW today. Yahoo! Just two days ago I printed out April park hours off of the DISboards, and planned my FPs based on those. However, WDW official site, the MDE app, etc, all have the hours listed differently.

Specifically, this site says that AK has AM EMH tomorrow. The MDE app says regular park opening. Just for kicks I looked up park hours on allears.net and they listed something altogether different.

I know it's a holiday week and WDW is prone to changing things at the last minute, but the last thing I want to do is walk up to AK tomorrow morning for a 9 am opening only to find out that it did, indeed, open at 8. But I'd also prefer not to arrive at 7:45 and sit around for over an hour.

Never thought it would be so problematic just finding out when to arrive!

Thoughts? My gut tells me go with what Disney says on their official app. But that would mean I don't believe the DIS! Sacrilege! Lol!

While NO calendar is (or could be) 100% accurate, the WDW Travel Agent Calendar
is consistently the earliest-listed and best-maintained (frequently updated)
of all of the on-line calendars.

April 2014 HERE.
 
I would go to Guest Services and get a current times guide as a sanity check. There's a great location for GS at DTD if you don't want to go to a park. If on-site, someone at the front desk should be able to call and check for you.

I'd believe Disney official stuff first :confused3 Sometimes I think they change things just to keep self-professed experts humble-ish :scared:
 
You can call 407-WDW-INFO (press "zero" after the call connects) and ask the latest info on lots of things.
