Recent Travellers: Posted hours vs. Real Hours???

[Matty_Disfan]

For those who have recently returned from WDW:

Did you notice any differences between what the posted hours and events were before you left and what the actual hours and events were while you were there?

The printed hours for openings,closings and events were right including information on EE mornings.

we went in early november 2001 (just after 9-11). they were very clear that the hours were unposted, right up until just a few days before our trip.

last thurs and fri MK open 1 extra hour. crowds are bigger than anticipated. some waits posted have been 90 minutes, with fastpasses gone by early afternoon. fantasmic SRO an hour before starting. Wish the hours were longer!!!

i got back last week and i would have to agree with what laf said... however, and this is a big point on two separate nights (a fri and sat) POC, SM and BTMRR were closed at 5 minutes 'til 7 and 8... they were roped off and were not letting anyone else in line... i know what you are thinking, my watch was correct and we were not the only people who were standing there asking the CMs what was going on... it was completely bogus, we ran from SM to BTMRR to see that is was roped off; on the following night we ran from a roped off POC to SM and had the same experience... the second night, the fireworks were still going on, for crying out loud... i think was a recent change in policy and not what i have experienced on previous trips... the whole point is i wouldn't plan on doing much close to closing time...

EE as posted and E-Ride night held as well

No surprises, not sure about the roped off lines since we left about 15 minutes before closing time so we would get on the boat back to WL from MK.

Did not leave MGM/Epcot or AK at closing time, always somewhat ahead

Thanks
