October Park Hours

[CJLove79]

I just saw the October Park Hours on this site and others but when I go to Disney's website, October is still greyed out. I've checked a lot of the official Disney sites and still nothing, how are these sites getting the park hours before they even post them? I'm planning for my October trip and want to be sure that the hours are legit. I know that they're subject to change and from what I've read on here and other forums, Disney does tend to change the hours constantly, sometimes at the last minute. Its so tempting to follow the October calendars on this site and others but I want peace of mind. So should I believe these early October calendars? Should I wait another month the good old fashion way for Oct park hours? Thanks everybody.

So should I believe these early October calendars?

The park hours that you're seeing will most likely be based on last years hours.

There's no such thing as peace of mind when it comes to park hours as you've already stated "they're subject to change" and this means up to and including the day that you visit the parks.

Disney's site should have the hours out in about 4 weeks

Certainly see what's posted on the disney site but I'm seeing that they're changing extra magic hours at mk and epcot as compared to last October.

They release the hours early for Travel Agents. We've had them for a week or two now.

Disney does tend to change and update things- but generally, it's been to expand hours. Last year however, they did change the EMHs for the fall a few months out. That's not typical though.

I would definitely trust the hours you see here!

I'm waiting to see a confirmation for 10/1 on whether MK is definitely losing the early EMH on that Thursday, and/or Epcot is going to have a EMH evening that night b/c the following Thursday gets the switch to Epcot evening EMH - I'm trying to figure which Park I want to be at that day for opening since it's anniversary day for both.

That must still be up in the air. EMHs are listed for the 4th-31st, but nothing 1st-3rd (am or pm, any of those 3 days)

Usually six months out the "official hours" come out on Disney's website so Octobers would be out on 4/1. But you can trust the ones on here and such, as they get the info from travel agents etc that get them before the public. 4/1 check on Disney's app or website and they should be there officially.
