Where are the Park Hours?????

[mnmom22]

It's 11/29 and there are still no park hours for Magic Kingdom. I know this was listed a few days ago but... when will they be back? I was trying to put together a final plan for our trip on 12/4 and I can't find any times. Isn't 2 days before the month a little late to have these posted?

At the top of this web page there is a tab for park hours, fireworks and parades. If you click on that it takes you here:

Thanks all!!!! After seeing them disappear on the Disney.com site I thought I should double check the changes they are making. This info is great--- I will now make my final plans.

If it's going to be as busy as everyone seems to be thinking, Disney hopefully would extend their hours at the parks. Here's to hoping this is why they took them off the official disney site!!

FWIW, I just called to get the hours and parade times for next week (12/7 - 12/11). When I tried to use the automated system, it said the hours were not available. I called back, got a very nice CM who gave me all the hours and times I needed. They were exactly the same as LibertyBelle posted a few days ago. If Disney is changing anything, it must be for later in the month. I'm sure they are expecting huge crowds for the Christmas breaks. JMHO.

Hey, I noticed the MVMCP parade is scheduled to be done on December 5th at 5:00. We're going to be at the party on the night before. Should we not try to do the parade and get more rides and shows in and see the parade the next day while we're in MK?

I wouldn't. First of all, this may not actually be accurate. To the best of my knowledge, Disney doesn't run this parade in early December eccept at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. It's possible that this special parade run may be part of the taping of the parade that will be shown on TV on Christmas Day.

Even if it's just an extra treat and the schedule is correct, it will end up packed! Everyone who isn't going to a MVMCP event will want to see it! You'll have a much better opportunity to view the parade at MVMCP. See the second running and ride or see shows while the first is happening.

Enjoy - whatever you decide!
