Hi Lucille!
Have you check out the calendars on the official Walt Disney World website? For example, if you check out a
specific date on the calendar, all of the special events and hours will pop up for that particular day. You will also be able to see any refurbishments or closures for that day as well. For an small annual fee, I HIGHLY recommend the website, TouringPlans.com. You will then be able to see not only park hours and special events, but detailed touring plans based on crowd patterns. I couldn't live without this site!
As you enter each park, be sure to pick up a copy of the
Times Guide, which is a printed paper detailing all of the very latest events, hours, etc. You can find these at the entrance to each park, as well as in the shops and restaurants throughout. Have a fantastic time planning your dream vacation and keep those questions coming!
Much pixie dust,
Jackie S.
