November hours questions

[Dyanna]

This isn't something new to them so why should it take so long. They should just look at previous years for the same month & they will know approx how many people attend each day/week. They are making a lot of people quite upset that they cannot make their dinning ressies for early Nov. I at least have almost week until I can make mine.

Well ihope they have them up by the time that you amke yours. But at this point I dont think I would hold my breath. i feel like calling back today to see what the hold up is but what's the point I will just probably get told what they told me on the other call. 6 months would be June 1st. I still don't get how they come up with that.

It seems like the CM's at dining ressie's are aware of a problem. The ones I have spoken to realize that people need these dates, and they should have been release by now. The CM's that I spoke to on the "information" line were totally clueless!! The ones I spoke to also said it would be June 1st for the release of Nov. dates. Don't they realize that Oct. dates were released on April 1st. It would follow that Nov. dates would be released on May 1st!! I wish Disney would at least post a reason why!!! the dates are late, and when they will be released!!!

Yes as I stated earlier when I explained to the CM how Oct were released April 1st therefore Nov dates should be released Mat 1st and all she did was laugh at me like I was weird or something and to call back on June 1st. Oh well what can one do I guess.

Well, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has been incessantly checking for the Nov. hours since last week. It sure does make planning difficult, and that is half the fun.

[farmergirl]

Lol I guess you can look at it that way...but my planning has come to a stand still until they release those November hours. I don;t know if they have ever released them in the middle of the day I assume they do it over night so I am not even sure why I keep checking. But there is just that little but of hope each time i do....

I don't even need the dates We are getting there Nov. 30 BUT I still keep checking several times a day too. I don't know why. Well I hope they are out soon so everyone can continue with planning.

The calendar has been up on WDW's official website since May 1 (as every month goes up on the first of each month six months in advance), but no park hours have been listed. Instead, "Hours Unavaliable" was and is still listed on every day. September and October had their park hours, parades, and fireworks listed by at least March 3 and April 3 respectively, so what could possibly be the holdup?

[Dyanna]

I think there might be a problem with WDW system. The Nov schedule was up on the 1st but no times listed. When they go to post December hours I hope they will realize that Nov is not there & they will have both released at the same time. Very annoying!

[Tinkerfreak]

I just sent an e-mail asking if there is a problem with the calander and if so when can we expect the hours to be posted. I very nicely explained to them how hard it is to plan adr's without park hours. I'm not sure if I will get a response or when but if I do I will let you know what they say.

[Disney fans..]

Does anyone know when the November hours come out?? I need to book ADR's and really don't want to until I know what parks stay open later..I have the park hopper option but would rather not take the time to jump if I don't have to. I'm starting to get nervous...

[Tinkerfreak]

If you look down a few posts there is a thread going about the Nov. hours.
I feel your frustration and I wish you luck planning your trip.

[Tinkerfreak]

I forgot this in my last post

[JasonH]

Just checked the website at 3pm cst...still no hours available.

[MississippiDisneyFreak]

I guess this doesn't bode well for December hours getting posted June 1st....

[Bringonthemouse!]

Does anybody else have the feeling that perhaps Nov. hours may be getting an overhaul by the Disney folks due to the fact that many people may not be travelling because of the economy right now??? I am thinking the hours may be shorter this Nov. than in past years. What do you think, is this a possibility?
I sincerely hope not!

[Tinkerfreak]

According to their latest quartery report the business is booming. They say they have not seen a decrease in attendance and that they have seen such an increase in foreign travelers that it is great.
However, people going in the past 3 months probably allready had their trips planned and paid for so maybe it won't start showing for a few months. Maybe November bookings are down or maybe people are canceling their reservations do to the economy.
Who knows I just wish they would post it allready.

[Belle1217]

Do you think this will effect when Dec. hours are posted. Should I start to worry now (too late I already did!!!)

[valerie923]

I sent an email through the disney website in the "contact us" section questioning about the November times as well. We are going the week of Thanksgiving and our 180 day point is quickly approaching. They responded to my email with this...(I copied and pasted the actual email they sent me)

I think it has something to do with SSW. I just received a packet in the mail for my upcoming trip 10/31/08-11/09/08. In the section "Special Events during your stay" it mentions SSW. According to all the other info. out there, they have moved SSW to Nov.15 & 16. Either they don't know which date it will be, or they are scrambling to change everything because they did move it to the next weekend. I just wish they would let us know what is going on!!! This is very upsetting. I mean you save for these trips and look forward to the planning and this is just not fair to everyone who works hard to give their family a wonderful vacation. I am losing the "Magic" for this trip!!!!
