Hi, Danielle! I am also a planner and love to get as much information as possible as
soon as I can. Usually, the Walt Disney World website releases the
monthly entertainment calendars approximately six months out from the current
month. The April 2013 calendar should be up and running around October 1, 2012. Keep checking back at
www.WaltDisneyWorld.com. To check the entertainment schedule, select the theme park you want to check from the menu at
the top of the
page. On the new page, select Calendar from the menu on the left. From
the drop-down menu, choose the month you need to view, like April for you.
When the calendar
appears, the daily park hours and any Extra Magic Hours will be listed.
To view the parade and nighttime event schedule, simply click on the
numeral of the date you are interested in attending. Repeat for each of
the parks. All of the magic is at your fingertips. Yes, most of the Fantasyland expansion will be open for your trip! It is set to open on December 6, 2012. Check out the latest
DisneyParks Blog which explains all about this exciting opening! Happy planning and
have a Magical vacation!
