How far in advance do park hours get released?

just wondering… when will hours for next year come out

The first set of semi-reliable hours is the travel agent calendar, which comes out about 6 months before.

Here is a good TP Blog post on park hours http://blog.touringplans.com/2011/07/18/interpreting-park-hours/. Also, the predicted hours in the Crowd Calendar are usually pretty accurate.

Generally about 6-1/2 months in advance, leaving you a little bit of time to plan for those 180-day ADRs.

I was curious on this also. On Christmas week it is showing mk opening at 9 with EMH for 8 am. Do you think the park will open at 7 like it has in the past ?

They’ll often do those kind of extensions unannounced.
