Walt Disney World Park Hours Update

[ToTBellHop]

They have been using the World Dr. launch sites exclusively for NYE with some high shells and pyro the last couple years, although it's never advertised anywhere and they keep it low-key for some reason.

DHS has extremely limited firework viewing and would be over-run if they marketed a one-night-only spectacular. They’d like for us to go to MK or, ideally, Epcot on NYE.

Wow they usually don’t extend hours after they already extended them.

@DCBaker , Monday 3rd Feb has had EEH listed for AK instead of Epcot.

Do you know if this is because of a CM Celebration event? Or a conference / competition / private buyout?

The National Dance Team Championship has an extended evening hours event at EPCOT on Friday, Jan. 31, but I'm not sure if that plays into the schedule shift on Feb. 3.
