Great news....Something weird though...For my trip coming up we'll have 5 park days. Had started a rough plan for what park on what days. On 4 of the 5 days, my choice matches the early entry day. How cool is that...

I hate to be the downer here, but did anyone else notice the
on specific dates comment in the above post??

I hope it's not only at peak times because I think onsite guests deserve it all year long!!

In speaking with an operator last night (booking trip), he mentioned that they won't be re-instating the "hour early" policy for security reasons.....especially around the holidays. They want to have full security all the time, and the extra hour was causing some turmoil.

Just what I heard, but it makes sense.

I don't want this to be just another "rumor"!!

I am SO LOOKING FORWARD to our trip!!!!

Thanks for the happy news!

Adams, I think (hope) that just means that park hours are different on different dates.

AK is included - that's new!

 

[SideshowBob]

I think so also, Mr. Adams ...
