When will the December park hours come out? I really want to start planning my days/nights and figuring out dining. I have 217 days left to go! Too long...

The December hours came out last year in early June. I would expect something close this year.

I hope that helps.

Correct. In general park hours come out around 180 days out, though they also have a habit of changing as you get closer. But, expect the initial schedule to come out early June.

Remember that the dates of the holiday party at the Magic Kingdom have just been released. This will let you know the days that the Magic Kingdom will close at 7pm. Because of the candle light processional, Epcot has traditionally been open until 9:30 each day.
There are also lists of historical park hours which give you a petty good idea of what to expect.

I don't know if I can wait another month! I am ready to get my dining booked and my days planned so I don't have to worry about it anymore. I hate planning a trip a year in advance the anticipation kills me.

Sorry, but don't expect them to post earlier than June 12-15.

When they do post, they will show up HERE (http://media.disneywebcontent.com/StaticFiles/DTA-Domestic/pdf/ParkHours/WDW_Operating_Calendar_dec.pdf) first.

(The 2012 dates will automatically pop over to 2013 as soon as those hours become available.
Just keep checking that site.)

If December doesn't come out until June when does January come out? I can book my ADR's July 1st? We are staying through Jan. 5th.

Somewhere around July 1. Again, park hours are generally posted around 180 days in advance. It's not always spot on, but it's close. You can also usually look at the historic hours. For the most part last year's hours and this year's hours are the same.

Thank you so much. I have been checking intercot and disney world's official page and a few others and haven't seen anything.

Sorry, but this info is not correct (and I contributed to the confusion... sorry.)

Better info:
If you use the earliest-posted (and, generally, the most reliable) Disney calendar on the web-

Dec. 2013 hours will post in May (this month) on or about May 12-15.

Jan. 2014 hours will post in June (next month) on or about June 12-15.

Keep checking the following links around those dates for the listings to automatically update to the newest info (as in, change from 2012 to 2013, or from 2013 to 2014)
as soon as that new month's info becomes available.

December (http://media.disneywebcontent.com/StaticFiles/DTA-Domestic/pdf/ParkHours/WDW_Operating_Calendar_dec.pdf) TA Calendar

January (http://media.disneywebcontent.com/StaticFiles/DTA-Domestic/pdf/ParkHours/WDW_Operating_Calendar_jan.pdf) TA Calendar

I misspoke in a previous, myself.

I meant to say Dec. hours would post about "MAY 12-15."
