How far out are park hours posted?

[sbkline]

Used to be that park hours were always posted for 6 months out, and it was promptly at the first of the month. We always go in April and I remember getting on there October 1 and seeing the park hours for April. However, here it is Sept 10 and March hours aren't even posted yet. Are they just running late, or have they changed how far out they post the hours these days? :shrug:

I already have my itinerary pretty much done, including restaraunts, and I know that for all the trips I have taken since staying on property, the EMH schedule is always the same, so I don't expect to absolutely HAVE to have park hours in order to book my ADRs next month. But it's nice to have them just for the piece of mind of knowing that the traditional EMH schedule isn't suddenly being switched around on me all of the sudden after planning much of my itinerary around that!

The hours are out however, Disney is not very good at updating their website. Some people don't think these are official hours but they are what the travel agents use. Here is a link to April hours http://media.disneywebcontent.com/S.../pdf/ParkHours/WDW_Operating_Calendar_apr.pdf. If you notice, the date is for 2011 but when the hours are release in a week or two, it will say 2012, just keep checking. Good luck! :wave:

Yes - sorry, I meant to say the hours for March were out (I got distracted while typing ). April should be out in a week or two.

Thanks guys. Looks like at least through March, EMH hours are the same as they always are when we go. I'm sure they will still be the same for April, but my 180 mark is October 15, so as long as they have April hours by that week, I'll be good. That way at least I can double check and make sure that all the days of my itinerary are good as they are currently drawn up and have time to redo them in the unlikely event that it is necessar, before I call and make my ADRs. :wave:

Disney releases park hours at WDW 6 months in advance.
