Does anyone remember from years past when they post updated holiday hours in MDE? I’m specifically wondering about AK, and the park being open until 7pm. I can see the park was open until 7pm starting in early December last year. I’m hoping this is the case again this year, and would like to know before my booking window for dining opens on 10/3.
 
70 days ahead. Even then, hours are sometimes extended a couple weeks out.
Thank you. Do you think the times will be accurate? Or do you think they’ll post standard times then update them to reflect whether parks will be open later down the line?
 
The calendar is a rolling 70 days so that's when you'll see hours. They have been updating those hours about 1-2 weeks out.
So you'll want to book your dining at your 60 days and modify if hours change vs waiting until 1-2 weeks prior to your trip to book them.
 

As @DebbieB said, hours are often updated a couple of weeks ahead of actual dates. Hours can change up until the actual day so hours are never truly finalized.

You can go in and look up last years hours by day and park on this site. Does not mean they will be the same this year. But it’s a good indicator. https://www.wdwmagic.com/calendar.htm

Thank you. I’ve realized at looking at the park hours from last year that AK was consistently open 9-7 well before the holidays, and now is open 8-6. So I don’t think AK hours had anything to do with the holidays. Interesting as I would think it would make more sense to keep the park open later
