Printing Park Hours

[scottishgirl87]

Anyone know where I can download some printer-friendly Park Hours???

Ideally I'd like Park Hours confined to my dates but I'm not having much luck I like the layout of the Park Hours on here but trying to print it off it cuts in half mid-way through parks and so on which will just get confusing.

Or if not, anyone have any suggestions on a good way to lay them out on an Excel spreadsheet or something? I want Park Hours for all Disney, Universal/IOA, Busch and SeaWorld and I'd really like to have them all on one sheet.

Well I can guarantee that this is not the info you are hoping for but after much frustration about the same issue (and not being able to see all the parks hours on one page) I eventually typed them for my dates into my own spreadsheet and printed them off of there. It meant that I could add my colour coding for at-a-glance reading too. I have always had a colour for each park with a sun for morning EMH and a star for the pm ones, which I still need to add in as I changed my laptop when the old PC died and lost all my old spreadsheet on there. At least my own logical layout makes sense to me.

I have all my info on one spreadsheet, but obviously it has to be printed out over a few pages. Just make sure you set the print area to print what you want on one page.

Not long now. Are you getting excited?

Thanks, 2Tiggies! I think I'm gonna have to do that myself Was getting frustrated earlier as I can't seem to establish a layout I like for it! Grrr!

And yeah, now it seems so close yet sooooo far! I'm at the worried point of something going wrong, boyfriend not liking it as much as I hope (he's never been). The silly little things you think you've got loads of time to sort! LOL

If I can actually get some uninterrupted peace tonight and get mine finished I can send it to you. I don't know if it will be any good, as like I said we all have our own sense of logic. It also depends on how you use it during your trip as to the format and size which is appropriate, if you know what I mean.

Thanks, 2Tiggies! Even just how have you got your Columns/Rows?? I think it's going to be hard to include things like Wishes and Fantasmic, etc.

I will have a scout around I saw The Dibb's as well but I don't like the layout of that one so much Will try some of the others.

I have done a word document that prints on a half page of A4 for each day. I have got park hours, evening shows. special events in a table on the top half and then ADR details at the bottom.

I print them out then cut them so I have piece of paper for each day then throw it away once we are done.

I would be happy to share if you are interested.

Ohhh it'd be great to see that if you could maybe post a screenshot of one?

2 Tiggies - you need to patent the sun/star EMH idea!! I am so borrowing that!

Well it WAS a good idea. You are welcome to use it - what good is an idea if nobody else benefits from it?! I needed something that didnt take up an extra line on each day so I just used a symbol insert or maybe it was a minimised clip art. Anyway, I say it WAS a good idea because I can't get the template off my old computer and the new one with Windows 7 won't let me use an icon in Excel! I am going to have to do it all over again in Word. Busy with it now.

I have no idea how to post a screenshot. If you can tell me how, I can show you. I also don't mind emailing you mine so you can get an idea of the layout. It may be better for you to have your x and y axes the other way around if you know what I mean. I have only done the four disney parks so mine can print in portrait. Unless you want landscape?

Darn windows 7! I feel your pain!

Could you not just use like wingding or alt icon?

 

[2Tiggies]

I was a little less polite than your "darn windows 7" ..... especially at 2 am yesterday when I would NOT go to bed until I had sorted something out. I have actually put in some clip art pics now so it is fine. It just doesn't look as polished as the other one and I do like good presentation. Anyway it is workable and I can always tweak it later. They are sure to make some minor changes to hours/shows closer to the time so that is a reality as well.

Somebody posted last week about this website: www.wdwparkhours.com. I've tried it out a bit and it's wonderfull!

Thanks Mary. I saw it posted last week but at the time it would only allow you to go up to August. I see it is right up to date now. I actually forgot about it, but thanks for posting - at least now I have bookmarked it.
