Please help w Oct planning

[ValDisney]

Hi
Wow, my 90 window starts tomorrow
Since disney didn't release Oct hrs I need some help. we really want to see spectro. we missed it on our last 2 trips.
Anyway, if the MSSHP is oct 6 and 7. do you think they will have spectro on Wednesday?
On Monday oct 10th I was planning to do Fantasmic and last yr on columus day they had spectro.
I could go to MK on columbus day (didn't want to..but...)
JUst hoping they will have it on wednesday.
Any advice,
Thanks
Valerie

I went on to Intercot.com for all the historical hours for Oct. They have the MNSSHP hours as well as Spectro and Wishes. I am trying to figure out my schedule based on that. Good luck.

I am guessing that Spectro will be on Saturday and Monday. I have also heard MK is super busy on Columbus Day (or any holiday). If you have hoppers, maybe you can come back to MK for the parade and Wishes?

I don't know which day would be worse, but I honestly think that Monday night would probably be less worse than Saturday night due to holiday crowds leaving on Monday (for those traverls that were just doing a long weekend)

GL...it is so hard for me, a Type A Planner, to plan without hours, or parade listings, show times, EMHs, etc. I have finally just written it all down and am going with it. If I need to change things later on, I will try then.

Historical hours are a good reference to use for hours not counting EMH. However, the addition of the evening EMH's is a kink in this strategy, since there is not yet a precedent for what they'll do with EMH when they have MNSSHP in MK. EMH hours will probably affect all fireworks show schedules throughout WDW, I'd imagine. This has been bugging me about my planning, since we plan to heavily use EMH evenings. But October hours won't be out until August. However, I looked at the EMH hours for Sept. There is a MNSSHP on 9/30. There is no EMH evening scheduled for that night. That's bad news to me, because I'm guessing that means that in October, there will be no EMH on MNSSHP evenings. I'd prefer not to have to pay over $100 to go to MNSSHP, when it's really the same thing as EMH, except you get some candy.
