Hours in Oct.

wdwjeff · 04-09-2004

Hey, Guys,
As some of you DC old-timers may know, I'm a dentist in "real life." The ADA convention is in Orlando this year, from Sept. 30-Oct.3. I'll be at the convention center a lot, but how can I be in Orlando and not go to WDW? Given the msshp and all, does anyone recall what the park hours have been in the past for that time of year? I'm trying to decide whether or not to go to Universal on Sat. night, because the ADA has exclusive use of the park from 8-midnight. Both Universal parks close between 5 and 7 p.m. that weekend, but, since WDW won't post their hours for quite some time, I was hoping for some help from my DC buds.:)

Ummm.......Dr. Jeff.......I'm an assistant......will you bring me with you??????:whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

When we went in October 2001 I belive that the parks were open until about 7. Epcot was open later.

I have to go now though....gotta tell my boss about this convention!!!!!:laugh :laugh :laugh

Hey, let me know if you're going. See you there! Where do you practice? I'm in West Chester, PA:D :D :D

I'm in Massachusetts. I work for a pediatric Dentist in Auburn. I've been with him for about 6 years now, and did general for 6 years prior to that.

I will definitely have to talk to my Dr. about that. He likes to take us on a trip once a year.....maybe........:D :)

I'm planning on an October trip this year and based on past trips you can expect MK and AK to close around 6 or 7. MGM closes at 7 but guests can then go to Fantasmic (at least I think that is how that works

) EPCOT FW will be open until 7 and WS will be open until 9 with illumination starting after that.

Jeff -

I went the first week of October in 2002. The MK closed at 8pm on Sat. and they did both Spectro and fireworks. I don't know what this year will bring, but maybe the same hours as then.
