EMH change

[threvester]

Anybody notice that they changed the Extra Magic Hour days at Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom?
Looks like they went from Sunday to Saturday at the Magic Kingdom and Monday to Sunday at Animal Kingdom starting in mid-July. I cant believe they want us to book our rides and restaurants so far out, then change the hours starting in just 3 weeks..sorry if this is posted elsewhere..didnt see anything

 

[Betsyboo]

Yes and it throws off some plans we have for November. ADRs are made and now with FD being offered the chance of changing plans is pretty slim.

 

[ezralou]

this must be recent- touringplans hasnt updated (looking ahead to our trip in Feb.)

 

[Tom]

Ugh, we JUST booked FP+ and planned our entire long-weekend trip for late August. Our plans are based around EMH so we don't have to park hop too much (one of us is pregnant...).

How annoying.

 

[FabulousFigment]

With three little kids, we do not park hop and we always avoid days with EMH. Now we will be in AK for EMH. I wonder the reason for the change?! They really should not change stuff around unless it is for 180+ days out. I am sure this is going to screw a lot of peoples plans!

Uggghhh...no, I hadn't noticed and probably never would have unless you mentioned it. Thank you for the heads up. I have some mid-August reworking to do and it won't be easy. Good luck with the July plans...that stinks .

 

[AmongMadPeople]

Frustrating. I tried checking a bunch of dates in August and September, and it doesn't seem like ALL of the MK PM EMH and AK AM EMH changed, but many of them did. Of course the ones we completely planned our trip, dining, and Fastpasses around changed. Crossing my fingers a European programmer messed up which day of the week the American calendar starts with

 

[belledream]

Aww no! They took away our evening EMH for MK in September. Cruel.
Other than that, no changes to our schedule. I was worried I'd have to choose between EMH and keeping our BOG reservation.

Thanks for the heads up!!

 

[PrincessNelly_NJ]

YUP, over 60 emh schedules changes!
It actually worked out in our favor, but I can see how it would mess up those with dining reservations and fp+ already booked.
Josh @ easy wdw.com has listed each date change, if anyone needs to see it.

Oh no I better check this out! Thanks OP

On the bright side... at least you have a shot at changing your plans... can you imagine how upset people arriving next week are... I know they put up a disclaimer that hours can change at anytime but this is just bad

 

[wdwmagic]

If you a re looking for an easy to view calendar, we have updated the hours and EMH details at http://www.wdwmagic.com/calendar.htm

 

[Claretstevo]

Very poor. We have also booked days around this. Its changed 4 of our days. Very poor

I am absolutely flabbergasted - no EMHs (morning or evening) Monday, August 11? I am hoping this is just an oversight and they will add something. My stay at disneyworld is dependent on EMHs daily but I have a feeling this is only the beginning to them slow eliminating this as a perk (it has been discussed at length here). The perk now is stay on property and reserve FP+ 60 days out. I am absolutely disgusted not to mention this changes my entire touring, FP+ selections and ADRs! I am just livid now - I had a perfect plan in place at least for my first day and now its ruined. Back to the drawing board I go.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Wonder what the reason is for this.

SERIOUSLY. I'm all screwed up for 8/10 and 8/11 now. I'm reluctant to go in and start changing FPs and ADRs in case they change/add anything else!

I am with you on that. I am doing some changes now but I think this may work out. The only change I suspect they may do it 8/11 and if so - that day is pretty open for me now anyway.

 

[Zipadeelady]

Whoo Hoo!! Thank you Disney!! Made my trip a little bit nicer and hopefully a little less crowed on the day were going!!
