Does anyone know what time of the day Disney release park hours? I'm waiting for the Sept hours to come out, and since it's already 12:00 in Florida, I was wondering if that means it won't be today.:confused:

Last month, they certainly did not come out on the 1st. Only Disney knows when they will actually release the hours though it will likely be some time this week.

I would say 90 days before Sept. 1. Last month I was wrong, so this month I could be wrong. I would say June 2, but will expand it by saying this week.

:ditto: I need 9/30-10/5. Our ADR window opens on July 2. I'm trying to be patient!:blush:

Last month I think they got all the times out for August on the 5th - not sure if the weekend and May 1st being on a Friday had something to do with it.

We are going 8/29 - 9/7 and our 90 window was Sunday - I only had my first three days with times! Very frustrating. I think that since they changed it to 90 days and you can then book 90+10, the calendars should reflect the same. So it should be August plus 10 days of September. Or they should add them in 10 day blocks as the 90 days comes up.

I have no problem with the change from 180 days to 90 - it leaves me more time to plan and change things, but the calendar system should not hinder plans when the ADRs need to be made. Especially since now, with the DDP, you have to get your ressies in ASAP or risk not getting anything you want.

The current system is not fair to those of us who have vacations that over-lap months. I had to go off of the hours for August and the historic park times, we'll see if I was right when the September hours come out.

Also waiting (impatiently) for the Sept. hours. I call for my ADRs next Monday and would really like to nail down my plans ASAP.

I too am very patiently (NOT)waiting for the Sept hours since my 90 dy window is Thursday. Very frustrating.

I am also impatiently awaiting to finalize our plans!! This is just so frustrating!!! I really miss the days of ADR's being made at 180 days out!! When we went in 2007 we didn't understand the importance of making your ADR's early. So that vacation ended up being planned around our dining plans, and we couldn't get many of the ADR's we wanted. Last year, after finding Intercot, I was totally prepared with 2 plans at 180 days. We got everything we wanted and had a great trip. I am worried that this year will be more like our 2007 trip, esp. after reading some of the ADR nightmare posts!! I understand the theory of 90+10 but I wish they would at least post the park hours and schedules at 120 days so you have some time to think things over!!

I'm too waiting and not very patiently. I want to figure out what park, what day and where we are eating. The suspense is driving me crazy.

I am also getting impatient. I have to make ADRs on Sunday. The hours would really help in making my final decisions.

This is so funny to read this post. I'm sitting at home thinking exactly the same thing...when do they post those hours? Honey, check the Disney site while you're online and see if those hours are posted yet. I'm so glad I'm not the only one tapping her toes in annoyance.

I am an extremely patient person, but my patient's is gone. I have been waiting for the park hours too long now. :whistle::wait:

We are waiting (im)patiently too! Luckily, our trip is later in September, so we will still have time to plan ADRs etc.

I am trying to book a Fantasmic dining package for Sept 1. We are in our 90 day window, but they won't let us book, because they don't have the calendar up yet. And even though Fantasmic has been playing Tuesdays nothing is confirmed until the schedule comes out. I have been calling every day for the last 4 days. They told me it would be any day for the hours, but no later then the 10th. Best of luck to us all, it is fustrating. :(

Grain of salt perhaps, but a poster on another Disney board said these were from the Canadian TA site. They seem reasonable to me though.

If this TA site is correct, there is no Spectro the whole time we are there (9/27-10/1) Is that possible? And one of those nights is EMH too! I am really bummed about this!

Looks like Disney posted September Hours. I was just on site and if yuo browse to parks and calendar they do not show septmeber however there is another calendar page where they do show without error.

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdwi/en_GB/calendar/parkhours/calendarHome?id=MKCalendarParkHoursMonthlyViewPage&date=20090901 (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdwi/en_GB/calendar/parkhours/calendarHome?id=MKCalendarParkHoursMonthlyViewPage&date=20090901)

if you go to this Disney page and use drop down to change parks it works perfectly. Not sure the previous posters hours were correct as i didnt want to check between the two.

Well, since they have the hours for MK, Ep World Showcase and AK, maybe today will be the day for the whole schedule! I've always been a compulsive planner, and this year is REALLY HARD on me!
Come on with those hours!!!:D

Acording to that TA hours for Sept. Fantasmic is only showing on the day I get there for my entire trip! This is a complete bummer for me since I wasnt planning on going to MGM on the day I arrived to WDW >:D
