It's okay guys. I have an offsite meeting at 1030 today and won't be able to check my phone for at least an hour. If it is getting updated today - that is exactly when it will happen. Promise lol

Then please hurry to your meeting so the rest of us can book

At least I've picked up a very healthy habit to cope with the 6-7am stress. I check the computer 6am stress, kick the kids out about 6:15, drink a glass of water with lemon and do 2 miles to get rid of stress. 7am call more stress maybe I should do 2 more miles LOL

I'm following along this AM. Yesterday I worked 7:30am to 8pm with 30 minute commute on each end so I'm recovering from that. I'm like a walking zombie. So glad it's Friday. So not shocked to see no packages. Blech. Maybe they'll start booking them sometime before my now negotiated (in exchange for a dog) 2017 trip.

Nothing bookable yet according to phone CM.

Called this morning and got Maggie's equally ancient sister, Karen. Thankfully Karen was knowledgeable and told me to keep checking because it will happen any time now.

Just apparently not this morning.

I just called and not yet check the blog. I was told soon and hopefully this week.

I'm going out to do a mile to hopefully get rid of the stress, good luck

WDW theme park hours aren't updated to the Travel Agent site until later this morning. Maybe, we will see more about April/May Rivers of Light hours. The time stamp of the last update was 8:50 AM on 2/12, so I expect if there are updates to be done today.

That can't be right. Or they are missing an update. Weren't the hours updated yesterday? I know MK open was changed to 8:00 from 3/21 to the end of the month. Do the TA hours show that change?

Well, this week is ending so maybe next week? We are all gonna be old and decrepit by the time this happens.

They could do a DP Blog post and aim for Tuesday morning. As mentioned before on this thread, they like Tuesdays for this kind of stuff. Tuesday is the March 22nd, the big opening day is April 22nd. I could see where they might like this Tues.

Or.....Events may be bookable without warning. Who knows which. At least we can keep each other company here as we wait.

As of right now (6:24 CDT), the TA hours calendar for April & May still shows the last update of 2/12 at 8:51:19 AM (eastern time, I'm assuming). The one before that, which I had printed for April, was updated 1/15 9:27:54 AM.

EDITED: March's TA Calendar also shows 2/12 as the last update. Hours for MK on it show 9 AM opening for MK, while Disney website shows 8 AM starting 3/21, as AngiTN says above.

I read in another thread that the TA hours haven't been updated and currently the Disney site hours are more reliable (according to Kenny the Pirate). When they changed AK to 8pm for our dates, it was on the Disney site first.

Just got off the phone again. Same story ! I feel like I'm in the Truman Show.....I mean the CM says the exact same words each call. I'll get up tomorrow morning and it will start all over again. We are only a month out so I don't see this happening this trip. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to go back!

No no no, no Tuesday. I am gonna be in a meeting from 10am to 12pm (5-7am EST) and I will not be able to check for anything. No going live on Tuesday. Nope. Nope. Nope.

we're in the same boat - 37 days! And while I'll keep checking frequently, we're thinking of alternatives for the evening we had planned for AK. Might just not happen this time around...which after all this, would be pretty sad...

Oh dear. It sounds like I need to come up with a new theory.

I was thinking the same thing......

My DREAM is sometime today the Disney Parks Blog responds to our comments from the ROL costume post with a new blog stating "news all our guest have been waiting for! You can now start booking _____ for ROL."
