Question about ADR planning for September 2012

[Liam]

I know I can book my reservations 180 days out. But will park hrs, mnsshp dates, and emh dates all be available at 180 days out so that I can plan properly?

1) Lately, they have been coming out about 5-mths ahead.
2) Yes, should be 6-7 mths, but what can you do?

 

[Liam]

Thanks for the help

Also, things can change. Hours can increase (not sure if they can decrease or not), parades/F! can be added or taken away and EMH hours can shift around a little bit after that information is initially released. Basically whatever comes out in about March or April for next September can end up changing by the time of your trip.

No, they will not be out.

A lot depends on when in Sept you are going.

The calendars are released roughly 6 months ahead of time, though the official one tends to lag into that first week on occasion. From your ticker, it appears as though you'll be heading down at the end of Sept, and the calendars should easily be out for a couple weeks by the time you're 180 day mark hits (late march).

Now, the calendars can (and likely will) change between the 180 day and the time you're there (even for EMH and shows). They can honestly change up to, and including the day of, so it's best to use them only as a general guide and be prepared to keep up with updates and how they may affect your plans.

Edit:
MNSSHP dates will likely not be announced or released by that time. You can guess by looking at the initial (especially the Travel Agent's one) releases and see the times MK closes at 7pm, but they certainly won't be hard set until the actual dates are released (they did match up nicely this year though).
