Checking Every Day?

Parking trams need to come back. Handicap lot is FULL at AK today 7/16/21. I can’t imagine the hike for regular parking :flushed:

This article looks at the park hours for the week leading up to the 50th anniversary kick off, as well as the 1st and 2nd of October.

MK is closing at 8pm on the 30th and 9pm on the 1st and 2nd.
EPCOT is keeping their 11am opening time and closing at 9pm each of the three days.
DHS is open 9am to 9pm all three days.
AK’s hours are 8am to 7pm all three days.

Of course, it could all change tomorrow!!

I am wondering if they will be running HEA on September 30th with that early, 8pm closing time?

In the Before Time, was AK always such a late opening?

Yes, it’s just being used as a seating area with AC for now. I don’t expect it to open back up normally anytime soon, if ever now that Disney controls the the pavilion. Even Tangierine Cafe isn’t REALLY Tangierine Cafe. It’s the Morocco festival booth moved to that location and it is temporary (though with festivals going on all the time now, not all that temporary, I suppose).

Hall Of Presidents to reopen in August

This is something we have never seen in our trips to Disney World. Might be a bit of a stretch to hope it will be opened the first week of August when we are there, but maybe?

My mom was hoping it would open before our trip in August! Hopefully it opens in early August. It will be a nice choice for AC if we need.

If nothing else it’s a nice extended AC break.

Yay! My DH will be excited!

Both of our trips have happened when HOP has been closed to add a President. I told the kids that we likely will never see it if we maintain an every 4 yr schedule

I cannot love this enough. I have tears in my eyes, actually, and I’m well aware that is quite the reaction. But this is the one thing that we have done every trip, in fact, several times a trip. Almost every day we were in MK. I think this is just my family’s speed, for some reason.

It is probably my ds’ favorite thing in the Magic Kingdom. Our last trip I am pretty sure we did it 10+ times across seven days!

Ds won’t be with dd and I in October, but it will definitely be part of the plan!
