When will posted December hours change?

[siskaren]

Yay! I'm glad they finally updated the hours. I was a little surprised to see 7 AM EMH for DHS on December 26. I didn't expect that. Has anyone had success with 7 AM EMH there? We would be park hopping to EP that day so we would only be there from 7:00 to 10:30 or 11:00 AM. I'm wondering what might be reasonable to accomplish. We would have a thrill seeker group and non-thrill ride group with interests in TSMM, RnRC, TOT, GMR, and ST. We also have an evening planned at DHS so we are hoping to catch one or two of those attractions along with Osborne Lights that night. We are hoping to spread out DHS a into parts rather than a full day there.

I think you mean you would be park hopping to DHS - the rides you listed are all in DHS.

Warning, this might be a "dumb question" but for a 7am MK EMH on 12/19 and 12/20 since it's still dark at that time what lights will be on? I'm not talking about the regular lights because it's dark outside but like the castle lights. Will they be on for just a little while before the sun officially rises then they turn them off? We, like several of you, had pre park opening ADR for BOG at 8:10am and it seems foolish to keep that so we are aiming for the 7am opening and will enjoy that before it gets nutty. Just curious what it might be like in the dark for just a bit with the lights. We've done plenty of 8am EMH openings but never a 7am when it's still dark outside.

Thanks,
Heather

It's not dark at 7am. The castle lights won't get turned on until they do the castle lighting show at 6:15pm.

This was us for 7am EMH Easter week this year. It was still dark when we entered the park. Not sure how the time change since then will make a difference. I wouldn't think the christmas lights would be on in the morning. We are so excited they changed it to 7am. Easter week we got SO much done in those early morning hours! Totally worth it!

This was in the morning a few days before Christmas.

 

[kangaand2roos]

Same day.

Animal kingdom a few days later.

Early Fastpass+ for Christmas week is open. Grab them while you can...they are going fast!

Hey everyone,

Here is a compilation of the Christmas week hours. I do think we'll see late-night EMHs (1am-3am) added to Saturday, Dec. 26th or Sunday, Dec. 27th... but I think these will hold pretty steady. These are pretty consistent with past years.

Wow, those are some super hours! I wish that they would give the week before a little love too.

Did I miss something??? Dec 19th... Celebrate the Magic is showing up both before and AFTER Holiday Wishes. Is the "after" a mistake or do they do that?

Yes, they have had the projection show before and after Wishes when we were there on previous Thanksgiving week trips. We love the show and will sometimes stay and watch it again, or see it after if we missed the 1st show.

It's definitely dark here in NC at 7am although the sun starts to rise shortly thereafter so I was assuming with our dates a month out it would a little darker, a little later but you already answered the question about the castle lights which is exactly what I was assuming would happen (they would not be on) so thank you for confirming!

Perfect - visual helps!! Yeah I hate to lose our BOG pre-opening ADR but we're going to think positive we'll get a lot more done now at 7am.

Thanks everyone,

So far I haven't seen any pre-9:00 am Fastpass+ for MK....here's hoping soon. I'd hate to stay up all night waiting.

Just saw some for Peter Pan at 8:15 on December 20th, so they do exist at least.

 

[kangaand2roos]

Just my 2 cents, but we didn't need early FP's.

 

[moodyeeyore]

Any chance they'll change the time for Wishes during Christmas week, or since the new opening/closing hours are posted now does that mean the other times are set? I've been keeping my fingers crossed that the 8:00 pm Wishes on Dec. 22 will be moved back as it conflicts with a BOG reservation.

From what I was able to determine, Wishes stayed at its scheduled time even after the hours were expanded

True. But in my case one of my FP was late so moving a FP from a later slot will let me try for extras a bit earlier.

Yes, they added them yesterday
