Hi Rochelle!
Thank you so much for the compliment on the Walt Disney World Moms Panel! It is our pleasure to answer guests questions.
Walt Disney World releases the calendars approximately 180 days in advance. Certain hours, parade times and fireworks remain somewhat consistent, but the days for Extra Magic Hours vary considerably.
I did a quick search, and was able to find October 2012 Extra Magic Hours, park hours and fireworks times on intercot.com. This is not an official Walt Disney World site, so you will definitely want to check back on the offficial
Disney World site 180 days in advance, but this will provide you with information in the interim.
I hope you have a magical vacation!
Magically,
Stacy
