Park hours

Amy · Post by **Amy** » Nov Thu 19, 2015 2:14 pm

Does anyone know where I can find a complete schedule of park hours? I'm sure in the past I was able to pull something up and have a calendar view of all the parks, the operating hours, fireworks schedules, EMH etc. It seems like the official WDW site is just more confusing than ever with everything listed, including character meet and greets, which I don't really care about when trying to figure out which parks are going to be for which days so I can make a few FP and try to get the only two reservations for meals that we are looking for ~ Via Napoli and Be Our Guest. There is a button to click for fireworks, parades, etc., but I only found that once on one of the pages

Ugh, never have I been this frustrated with the WDW site!

I've slogged through a few more pages/dates and found the parks are closing pretty early most evenings during the week. Is that something new? Are there more ticketed events I don't know about? Why would EPCOT close at 9:30??

Found this ~ https://media.disneywebcontent.com/Stat ... cember.pdf ~ but it hasn't been updated since 10/16. Think it is still fairly accurate?
And when it includes this info for a park ~ Parade - Dark. That would simply mean there is no parade correct? Not that there is a parade at dark "time"?

I get 'em off of the WDW site itself (https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/calendars/. This looks to be just he hours and EMH. Clicking on the entries takes you to the big lost of stuff going on.) or http://allears.net: menu on top/Walt Disney World/Planning/Park Operating Hours.

There is also info on EMH and events and closures.

(Actually, I just clicked though allears and it looks like they are linking to the Disney calendar link too. Must have been difficult to keep up!)

Thanks ~ I think I'll go ahead and verify the info that I found with the official parks site then although it looks like it is lining up anyhow. I'm just surprised at how early the parks are closing. I understand the early closing for the MK with the Mickey's Christmas party ticketed event, but I don't remember EPCOT closing so early. More sleep for us I guess ~ or more shopping time at Downtown Disney

More context is needed, what day are you looking at?

It closes at 9:30 every day from 12/7 - 12/15 ~ EPCOT does have EMH from 9:30 - 11:30 pm on Th 12/10, but that's it. Illuminations is each night right at park close as 9:30, so maybe that is it? By the time the show plays out, and they empty out the guests it probably is pushing 11. I just thought it used to stay open later

Epcot normally closes at 9 with Illuminations starting then. Being open until 930 is a bonus. EMH at Epcot used to be on Friday nights but they seem to be moving it around a bit.

Amy, have you tried TouringPlans.com's crowd calendar? They only show one month without a subscription, but you get crowd levels and hours and you can click a date to drill down to parade and show times.

They generally close at 9 ~ hmmm, guess I always thought it was later.

You're alive!!! Sorry to be missing you at WDW though ~ do you leave early on 12/7? We arrive around 1 at Orlando, so probably not to the resort until 2.

Yes, alive and well. We are leaving around noon, its a bummer we will not get to meet up.

Glad to hear you're doing well ~ sorry we will miss you this time. Maybe next! Or a meet-up in Chicago someday

Will Mousekedude be there when you are? I miss them too

No, they will not. I believe they just got back from a Disney cruise.

And yes, perhaps a Chicago or South Bend meet up
