Does Disney ever change the extra magic hours?

I have a trip in early November, and I am a bit puzzled that from Halloween to 11/6 there is not a single evening EMH. No idea what it will be on the 7th, I will find that out tomorrow. Just a bit disappointing since my party are more night owls than early risers.

If they do not have them that week in the evening it is likely because they are putting up holiday decor at the parks esp MK before the first MVMCP. They put all up overnight that week at MK and also some at Epcot. Saw Epcot has evening on 11/7 though. But MK is probably due to taking down fall decor and putting up Christmas decor those evenings that week after the last MNSSHP which the last one is on 11/1. ;)

I've never seen them omit evening EMH for every park before, in order to put up Christmas decorations. We were there the first week of Nov last year, and EMH were offered.

I think the more logical answer is that it is still more than 6 months out and the official hours haven't been loaded yet. The current hours are just place holders.

I agree I go that time often too but just offered a different suggestion. It most likely is just hours are not finalized yet but you never know with Disney. Lol Just offered another possible suggestion being Epcot does show EMH's 11/7 but none before that for MK or Epcot that week. And AK has not added evening EMH's back yet but will after Pandora officially opens I'm sure. And HS has not been having evening ones due to construction. ;)

Thanks for the replies! My main concern with the hours is planning the dining reservations. I wish Disney would push reservation dates until they completely figured out their park hours.

Unfortunately that would mean no ADRs at all! Park hours can change on the day at times. I do understand your frustration though!

This is of major concern to us as well. EMH used to be reliable. Last week they didn't have Tuesday EMH at Epcot for the first time in a long time. I can't imagine Disney cutting corners to save money (read sarcasm), but I think this would be a major mistake in the long run. That to me seems to be one of the main reasons people stay at a Disney Resort. I do expect them to focus mostly on AK during the summer, but they should still continue to offer the rotating EMH for everyone at all the parks.
