How far in advance does Disney usually release the schedule for these hours?
Last year they basically waited like a month out before making changes like AK on Thurs instead of MK on Wed, and then switching to ONLY Epcot on Mondays/Weds with nothing else.
Most of the year is pretty safe with Ep/Mon and MK/Wed schedule. Its the fall where you won’t know for sure until very close to the trip.
Yes, they still did Epcot twice a week.Thanks! We go early December and I'm preparing to only have Epcot as our choice. Did they at least do Epcot on Mondays and Wednesdays if that was the only park?
Yes, they still did Epcot twice a week.
It was a bit of a bummer from the year before though, when they had EP/Mon, MK/Wed and HS/Thurs. That was for the middle 2 weeks of Dec in 2022. I was a bit shocked when our 9 day trip ended up with only 2 EEHs, both Epcot. I think the extra HS EEH back in 2022 was actually a run-through for holding Jollywood Nights the next year (for park operations and transportation, etc). It was a nice bonus in 2022. But to go from 3 parks to one…. And not releasing that info until a few weeks out, WDW did not handle that well.
I just looked at the Jollywood Nights dates last year and they were so scattered!
If they do it again this year, there's a possibility they won't have it at all during the 9 nights we are there. Hmm, we are planning to go to a party at MK and was hoping to do Jollywood Nights also.
If there's no party at DHS, plus no After Hours or even deluxe extra hours there during the off week, that will be a bummer.
Oh well!
I think it’s a safe bet. So far the only change in pattern has been fall. There might have been an oddball week outside of that, but very rare.Do we think August will remain Ep/Mon and MK/Wed ?
