They do this a lot actually and it always make me super excited. I'll be back May 17 to that's a really big plus for me. What's lame is the DVC Moonlight Magic event is the night BEFORE we get there. We got to do it one year and it was really awesome but it would have been great to have sorta had Pandora "to ourselves". Still super psyched about the extended hours though. That's my favorite thing about BLT is even though we might stay out late we are just a few minutes from home when the MK closes.

Thank God! I'm not gonna lie, I was getting a little nervous that they weren't gonna extend them until June.

They do this all the time, based on predicted attendance.
Since I'm going the first week in May (yay!) I've been watching closely... They extended the first week about 3-4 weeks ago. Looks like the rest of the month is catching up...

Mid May most likely for us, so I've been paying close attention. I know they always do this, but I was just getting a little concerned because the last few years I don't remember them waiting this late to extend them.

Yeah, I'd have to agree... It does seem to be cutting it a little close to the wire here. I'm still hoping for more extensions before the next two weeks. Of course, that goes both ways.

Great news. I'm one who will be in the parks taking full advantage of the longer evening hours. Who says lack of sleep isnt good for you?

Sleep is for the airplane and when you're home!

I think the Disney site (https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/calendars/five-day/2018-05-08/) is the most up-to-date. I usually use the travel agent calendar, but I can't find that right now for some reason.

When are you guys going mid may, we're going May 13th-22nd.
I'm still juggling around my ADR's lol.
They stopped the travel agent calendar in November I believe
Hope this is extended into June. Do not understand why Disney Spring is always open until 12 but they close down the MK at 10. It is my biggest complaint about the new direction of Disney. It is just getting cool around 10 in the summer and they are shoving us out of the park.

I can't remember exactly, but last year I remember closely watching the hours before my trip. They extended a few hours here and there for late Aug/early Sep about 3 months prior. And then about 2 weeks before extended some even more so. Kind of annoying since we are pretty much forced to book ADRs and FP+ months in advance. That's my biggest complaint about needing to book things so far in advance now coupled with Disney updating park hours within a few weeks of any random date.

Because they stopped publishing it.

I did not realize that - thanks for the heads up. That was always the most reliable source. Hopefully this means that the .go site is now the most reliable-up-to-date source.
They want people to leave and goto The Springs to finish their night drinking and shopping
