Hi Janet!
Welcome to planDisney!
You can expect the
Hours & Events Calendar to update about 2 months in advance. That calendar includes the park hours, nighttime spectacular showtimes, parade times, and a list of attractions that will be closed for refurbishment.
It's good to note that those times are always subject to change. And I’ve noticed that the parade times, in particular, usually aren’t announced too far in advance. So, you may not be able to see the parade times until closer to your trip.
I like to get an idea of what the park hours will look like 2 months prior to my trip, but then I’ll recheck all of the hours and showtimes about a week or so before we head down to Disney World. That way, if I need to pivot any of our plans, I’ll have more up-to-date information.
I also couldn’t help but notice that you’ll be enjoying your Disney vacation right after the
Flower & Garden Festival starts at Epcot. As you’re planning your park days, keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for any announcements about the fun offerings during this year’s festival. I always love seeing the creativity with all the topiaries around the park.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to come back and visit us! We’re always happy to help!
