I have found another source for operating hours calendars that go out beyond with WDW posts. Kenny the Pirate appears to have access to the calendars on a schedule similar to the old TA calendars. He will not say what his source is, other than it is reliable (I’m thinking that he knows someone who has access to the internal CM-only calendar that was the source for the TA calendars). I have been checking the hours he lists for June 2018, and so far they have exactly matched what has been posted on a 180 day basis on the WDW web site. Currently he has hours posted through July 2018, and I would expect August to be posted in mid-January.
A few words of warning here:
- The advance calendars (and the hours when released at 180 days) now appear to be very generic, i.e. almost exactly the same week by week. This leads me to believe that WDW will be doing a lot more park hour changes as we get closer to dates in question, as the calendars used to have a lot more variability in them. With that in mind, the TP predicted hours (before they are overwritten by the “actual” hours on a 180 day basis), might give a better indication of what the hours will actually end up being.
- Although the KtP hours have proven thus far to match the hours when released on the WDW website, this is not an official WDW announcement so don’t blame the messenger if they are wrong for your trip dates.
