Split Months

[Halloweenluv03]

Since our honeymoon is split from the end of October until early November, how do you determine your ADR's if you do not know the park hours for the next month? I know October's get released in April, but I'd hate to book my ADR's for October and then wait until May when the November hours are released. I know we are a year out, but I have a little notebook going on tips and dates of when I need to do things, and I'd rather post questions as I have them, rather then try to remember anything. Thanks DISers!! You're the best!!!

WDW's site doesn't have them until the first, but the travel agents site usually has them a few weeks earlier. For example, last Friday they had September's hours even though it won't be on the WDW site until March 1st at the earliest.

You and I have the same challenge OP! I didn't think of that when I booked! Just plan your first part of your trip on the hours for that month as soon as they are released and do the next stage when those for the following month are available. They were early with September hours which were out (travel agent's calendar) over the weekend already so here's hoping. They will all be out before ADR time

I would look at last years hours for an estimate. Then make tentative park and dining plans and reschedule when the next month's hours are out if they don't work.

That's what I was thinking too. And the 2nd part of the trip will be repeat parks anyway. The only thing I have to worry about is Fantasmic because I want to do the dining package and we want to dine at Animal Kingdom, but it seems their hours are pretty much set to 9-5. At least that's what they were when I worked there, and from checking these forums and the websites all the time, seems like they don't change, unless it's an EMH for the morning and they open at 8am.
