Does the website have the hours from the past so you can get some idea of what the hours are going to be?

I figured Epcot would have the same hours. I wonder about all the other parks???

I haven't heard the Osborne lights will start later this year...LET'S HOPE THAT'S NOT TRUE! I've been to WDW 3 or 4 times during December and have NEVER seen the Osborne Lights. I even watched a Disney holiday special last night (Samantha Brown...saved in my DVR) and it got me SO excited for the lights!

Oh my goodness they are beautiful I hope you get to see them.

i don't think so, but i posed this question months ago and Wishy had been last year during the same time, so she was able to refer to her info. and passed this along...


Re: park hours this past Thanksgiving??

this was Wishy's (wishuponastar) response to my question for Thanksgiving hours...
quoted from her response:

OK, here we go... I found the folder from our Thanksgiving trip & here's the scoop.

Here's a link to a calendar that lists all the park hours from November 2007. It even lists parade times and firework times, too. Looks like MK was open until midnight every day...1am on Thanksgiving. Epcot had their regular hours. The Studios was open until 8pm, as was AK.

Walt Disney World Theme Park Park Hours - November 2007


At least we have this as a guide.......

BTW, has anyone ever been to Le Cellier on Thanksgiving? Last year, it says they offered a limited menu, in addition to Holiday offerings.

I posted this question on the DW site page
why are the november park hours not up on the site yet? they are always
within a few days in the month.


** I received this answer today. Sorry, not much help, but at least they are aware of it.

Dear Sue,

Thank you for contacting the Walt Disney World Resort.

While we sincerely appreciate your interest and concern, the theme park hours for November have not been confirmed. Although we hope they will be available in the very near future, please continue to check the following webpage for the most up to date information.

Please include your full name, E-Mail address, and reservation number if applicable on all correspondence.

I can NOT believe they are not out yet. Thanks to you all for the information at least I have some guidance now.

Noticed they are STILL not up. This is INSANE!!! If I were going then, I'd be bouncing off the walls by now. I hope for everyone's sake they are similar to what they've been the last few years, so you can plan off that. I know for me, even the slightest change in parade times sometimes makes a difference in adr's for us.

I feel for everyone going, and hope the calendars are updated soon.

I'm not sure, but I'd bet good money that the Osborn lights will be lit the day after Thanksgiving, if not sooner. We'd also been to WDW several times in December and had never seen the lights until this past December. They perform a total of 4 songs with 5-10 minute breaks between, as soon as it's dark enough. For visitors who come in late August and after, you should be able to see they have started stringing the lights. There are so many lights that they have to start months ahead. They aren't lit, but, well, how often do you see entire buildings strung with inactive Christmas tree lights in the late summer?

I think October's hours were late in being posted too. It could even be possible that Disney is evaluating what fuel prices are going to do to November crowds and they're trying to adjust the hours before they make them public.
