All value season hours similar?

Since I won't have a lot of time to plan my ADR's after 2009 rates are released (Jan trip, rates released in July, ADR's at 180 days), I'm trying to get an idea of park hours now so I can do some preliminary planning. I'd like to at least have an idea of what park we'll be at when so I can match up restaurant plans.

Anyone know if September or December's park hours are similar to January's? It's all value season but I know there are special events going on during both Sept and Dec. so I didn't know if hours and parade schedules were adjusted for those. TIA for any info you can give me! I've never been to WDW in the winter!

I would say if you go onto Disneys Web page you should be able to look at Sept. and Dec calendars of 2008 and get an Idea

That's exactly what I did. I just wanted to see if anyone here had experience visiting in Jan so I'd know if the hours actually were similar.

Yes, I believe so. We go value season and the times are about the same.

Re: All value season hours similar?

No, the hours are not the same throughout the value rate season! Especially for the deluxe resorts. This is because the deluxe resorts have longer value seasons in the summer than the values, and possibly the mods as well. Much of the summer is value season and parks are open very late in the summer. Even September hours are different than December hours in the parks and sunset plays a big part in what time the Studios close because Fantasmic must be presented well after sunset. MK hours yoyo too, plus, you've got the Christmas parties to deal with. Finally, Epcot closes at 9 all year except between Thanksgiving and Dec 30 when it closes at 9:30.
MK closes at 7 on Halloween party nights and there is no performance of Wishes. For the Christmas parties, it can close at 6 or 6:30, depending on sunset and there is a performance of Wishes at park close in addition to Holiday Wishes at 9:30. The PPP times are similar to MVMCP though.
