Can you get show schedules at the resorts?

I can't remember if you get only get them at the parks or not. I was sort of hoping to be able to plan the day before we got to the parks. And there are times when shows are only on certain days, not at 10:15 every day or whatever. Thanks.

Re: Can you get show schedules at the resorts?

Not sure if they have those papers, but don't they have a big newsletter when you check in? I seem to remember times on it, but I can't remember if it is parades/fireworks/shows, or if it is just park hours...

Re: Can you get show schedules at the resorts?

I pretty sure they don't have the individual park schedules at check in, or even at your hotel. What you do get is the "Times Guide & New Information" sheet.
This has all the park hours for the week, Sunday through Saturday. Parade and fireworks times for the 4 parks, and EMH schedules.
The back side has hours for the water parks, mini-golf, Wide World of Sports, the Boardwalk clubs, and DTD shopping, dining, and entertainment hours.
None of the shows, such as castle shows, Beauty and the Beast, Nemo, etc. are not given on this sheet. Those are only available at the parks themselves.

Re: Can you get show schedules at the resorts?

I remember having a CM call for a time for us on a couple of shows when we checked in at the resort. She was more than willing to help out!

Right, but you can have them print out the show schedule etc . . . They have access to the schedules, via their computers at the hotel and always print me out a laser copy!

Re: Can you get show schedules at the resorts?

In the past, I'd asked front desk and lobby concierge CMs for show times, and they were unable to help me.
I was able to get times by calling guest info from our room, but it felt like they had to jump through a few hoops to get me what I needed.
I do know that in early December at WL, Weather Channel wasn't showing local weather and a front desk CM printed out the hourly forecast for me so I could plan the evening better.

Re: Can you get show schedules at the resorts?

Wait..don't they put those sheets in your little information packet when you check in? I don't think it's a daily schedule but the weekly one.

Yes, some CMs say NO WE CAN'T but then I say . . . yes you can, cuz it's been done before . . . they then check with a manager and print them out for me. You have to do it at the concierge desk NOT at the check in desk!

PS. Sometimes a manager has to show them how!

Sorry Bella, they don't. It's just the weekly overview schedule, which doesn't have all or even most show times. The dailies/in depth park schedules are physically only at the parks, although Friendships usually carry schedules for Epcot and the Studios.

But the show schedules are not on the weekly time schedule that you get at check in. Those schedules are only in the parks.

As I posted earlier today:

Is this information available anywhere online? If not it should be.

Disney itself does not post the times anywhere.
There is this:

Walt Disney World Live Entertainment


You will need to click the link for the park you're interested in.
