So I’m heading to WDW MK on November 7th and the park opens at 8am, but the plan won’t start until 9am (my first ride being at 9:12a). Am I missing something or does the 8am refer to the 60 mins before rope drop? I’m trying to plan out what time we should get there and I’m a bit confused. Any help would be appreciated.
Looks like the park opens at 8am, so you should be able to enter Main Street at 7am and be riding at 8:12. I know they just extended hours for November, so maybe the TPs haven’t caught up yet?
TP has caught up with the calendar changes, so my bet is that the “Plan Hours” in the TP are set to start at 9:00 even through the “Park Hours” start at 8:00. Once @qhoney changes that it should work OK.
For others like @drtyblnd0205 who may have the same problem. what is happening here is that when park hours change the TP folks update their database (usually the same day) and you will see the new “Park Hours” in your plan. However, your “Plan Hours” will not have changed as that is something you specify, so if you want to take advantage of the changed hours you need to go in and update that in your plan yourself.
When I looked yesterday I was looking at my dashboard where it lists the parks hours for that day and they hadn’t been changed. I’m going to go check it out again.
With an 8 am opening, EMH will be at 7 when it’s scheduled. But if there’s no EMH, people won’t be allowed on Main St at 7 - an hour early - like they are if it’s a 9am opening.
A 7am opening will be great! Lots of people will decide to stay in bed and skip it!
