October planning

[Tank3434]

I thought I posted this earlier but I can't find it anywhere. Just wondering how everyone is planning adrs without knowing the park hours. I know where I want to eat for the most part but I won't know where I'm gonna be on what day till the park hours fine out so now I'm stuck. We are going October 5 so the 180 day mark is around the corner. Also when do they usually announce the Halloween party dates?

Party dates are usually announced around the beginning of May when they put the tickets on sale.

The hours will probably be similar to last year's hours at around the same time so you can use that as an approximate guide when planning your dining.

When I logged onto the Disney site this morning I was able to see park hours up to October 7th (which was awesome for me as our trip ends on the 7th)! So, you can at least see the hours for the first three days of your trip.

It always frustrated me that you almost always end up having to book meal times BEFORE park hours are released.....
