AP Blackout dates lifted August 1st

Check the app. Its true. Disney World app is showing all of August available now.



Food and Wine Fest. Nicer weather, lower prices and Epcot eating fest always draws a crowd.

I checked my app literally right before posting that question (lol). I'm ecstatic!

Betting on the blackout period for 2018 being very small, and then 2019 being very brutal.

If SWL opens late 2019 then 2020 will be the worst.

Or who knows, maybe they'll just raise prices enough to keep attendance at the same level. They only care about revenue after all, not attendance in and of itself.

Glad to hear this. I looked at my Blockout dates when I heard of the Energy and Great Movie Ride closings and was pretty irritated that I'd only have one day to possibly ride them one last time. Now I've got a solid week.

I literally feel like a piece of my heart is being ripped out with all of the BEST attractions being taken out!!!!!! I get the whole "updating" and "moving with the times" thing, but taking out everything instead of just updating really sucks. I was sad enough when the Honey I Shrunk The Kids set got taken down. But now this! Ugh....just like I miss "Downtown Disney" and will forever call it that. And it will always be MGM to me, not Hollywood Studios. *sigh*

Errrm. I agreed with you, until you said you miss Honey I shrunk the Kids...

Where are these lower prices in October you speak of?

LOL it's probably because my almost 6-year-old daughter and I made so many memories on that playground-esque "set"! I will miss that. So don't bash it!

Sorry I am a DVC member. Rooms are lowest in Sept, and second lowest in October

As a passholder, I'm grateful to Disney for thinking of its guests at this time of peril and danger. These are the kind of decisions that make me believe the Company sees returning guests as a true value. This might break me out of my August-is-too-heinous to spend a day crowdsurfing mindset (I don't know how those not aclimated handle it), although I suspect in a few years Food & Wine will start after 4th of July weekend.

I'm glad they unblocked what they did. I'm surprised they didn't do it sooner.
