Every time someone posts that, I get worried. I have three pre-park opening ADRs...I'm not sure what I'd do if they open the parks earlier. I'm all for having parks stay open later...just not for opening earlier.

I think someone said that they more than likely extend park hours as opposed to opening early . I'm right with you guys as I have 3 pre-opening ADRs as well....most importantly CRT!

You can go to easywdw and he has the times that haven't been confirmed but are likely in parentheses..and the only park that looks like it may open earlier once or twice in MK..but not sure when you are going so..

Sandy has arrived here in NYC or at least she's really kicking things up. It's really windy and rainy. I still have electric, my phone and iPad are charged and the tub is full of water.

Thankfully being in the city our power lines are under ground. My office lost power but that really won't effect me too much.

Anyone else in the storm, my thoughts are with you. This isn't going to be a fun night.

I had gall bladder surgery in 2008. She'll need time to rest and heal. But it'll be fine. Good luck to her.

Hunkered down here in Boston. Spent 1/2 the day at work. We received word that we could leave early. And, without fail, every time I was about to close up shop, someone else walked through the door with another problem.

Now, after some fence mending, Dis-boarding and dinner, I'm here waiting for the power to go out.

I'm a work and kinda regretting coming in... The wind has really picked up- if a tree falls down it could take me a very very long time to get home because there isn't many (if any at all) "back ways"

Stay safe!

Here in Philly the wind and rain is crazy. We thankfully still have power though. The girls school is closed today and tomorrow, DH office closed today and tomorrow and I got called off of work tomorrow.

All the highways here have been ordered closed by the governor, as well as the bridges around Philly.

To those still expecting the storm - take care!

I have one pre-park opening ADR and I was wondering how that worked. Do you just show up and tell them you have an ADR or is there a special entrance? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm still pretty clueless.

There are special lines for breakfast ADRs. At MK I have gone in the far right side of the turnstiles but have read reports where people have gone in the left side so I guess it depends. There have always been CMs around directing people where to go, so you will be fine.

I have not needed my reservation # at MK but have needed it at AK and Epcot.

Thank you. Mine is for Hollywood and Vine in HS.

While on the subject of ADRs I have a question.

I have one at 8:05 am and then I have heard that its a good idea to have a Fantasmic! Dining package if you plan to see the show. So I booked one, but the latest time they had available was at 1:25pm. I keep checking everyday to see if they have a later time available, but if I can't find one should I just suck it up and keep this time or ditch the F! Dining package and just try to get in line early for the F! show?

Bring your number! We weren't on the list one morning, I had left mine in my room. It was almost bad...it was a long 20 mins with me on the phone with disney dining!

Excited. Didn't think we'd be able to make it to a park arrival day(get in at 6pm) but looks like MK changed hours and open until 1am(Dec 1st).

I saw this link via one of the Disney blogs I read, and thought it was super cool. It's a map of Disney transportation, done in the style of a subway map.

I found it really interesting...hopefully someone else does, too.

SO awesome!! Thanks

From what I have found out, they only extend hours at the end of the day, never the beginning

Only 1 month to go!! I am getting so super excited!! My Photo Pass Plus has arrived in the mail and I've enjoyed looking at all the stock photos on the CD! I've always wanted to see WDW at Christmas! Plus we are celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary!

Thanks! It's getting worse and worse here. They just got 60mph winds at BWI, which is only 15 minutes from me. Wind is so bad that even with the football game on TV, a air purifier going 5 feet from me and a humidifier (that is quite loud) going 15 feet from me, I can hear the wind and rain. But otherwise I still have power for now, and no trees have fallen in my neighborhood yet.

I've read they DO open earlier during Christmas week itself, bumping the EMH to 7am at MK
