It seems as if they are taking longer to release hours. Keep in mind that the current trend is not to base hours on historical average crowds but to add hours as the days approach and they can make a better determination based on bookings. Keep in mind historically outside of President's Day weekend, February is a slower time. Park hours aren't very long and there will be some rides down for refurbs. I've gone in February before and it's not so bad though.
We're going 2.14-2.21. So, mostly Presidents Day week (we'd prefer to avoid the crowds but with those darn kids' schedules . . .)
I'm surprised to see the hours not announced yet at all. For anybody with a Feb 1 trip, they're now at 180.
Any other February trips planned? And any good theories as to why the operating hours haven't been released yet? They're now a couple weeks later than they should be and a day later than what I'd consider the drop-dead 180-day date.
If we would have stayed with our original plans, today would have been our 180 day mark and we would be booking our ADR's.Hi there,
I'm a bit annoyed about these hours not being released yet. I even talked to a cast member about it. I am going at the end of Feb and don't make my ADR's until the 25th of this month. But I feel SO bad for those who don't have the hours yet and this effects their plans and their ADR's. The cast member first was annoyed I was asking about the dates, but then came around and could see my point of the planning. She indicated they would be out soon. But I think its nuts that they are not out yet. I did use touringplans.com to get an estimate of hours and which had EMH. This is projected but they are usually on point with their estimates. I'm anxiously waiting for the hours to be released too. Hang in there. And for a best guess - use touring plans.
If we would have stayed with our original plans, today would have been our 180 day mark and we would be booking our ADR's.
I'm really surprised Feb hours haven't been released.
