we are in a similar situation. I really don't like the thought of planning without the full MK hours. We only have QSDP so only plan to make a few ADRs but I'd still like all the relevant info in place before I book anything.

I would just follow the times/recommended parks from the previous week, emh days wont change and will be the same as the previous week and closing seems to be 9pm for most days in the summer (which will more than likely/hopefully be extended to much later nearer the time).

Between now and August, Disney will change the park hours a few times. So even if they released MK's park hours today, they wouldn't be the final park hours.

As above. Just use the previous week's hours as a guide. The park hours are likely to be changed (and probably extended) anyway.

Thanks Nimbus. I will definitely do that and hope for the best. It is the EMH I am more concerned with. Never been on-site before so not used them. Not quite sure how to adjust my last off-site plan to fit so I can make the most of that perk!

Disney tends to keep EMH days at each park on the same day of the week - for example, for the next 6 months MK has morning EMH on Fridays and evening EMH on Wednesdays. So if you look at the EMH days of the previous week that should give you a reasonable idea.

Of course, there are no guarantees; Disney could decide to suddenly change things and swap around EMH days. But it's unlikely.

Thanks again Nimbus that's really useful to know.

Does anyone know when Disney release the dates for the paid for extra hours in the morning? I'm assuming this would be a different day to normal EMH?

I'm more interested in seeing what the most recommended parks are as the busy day guide has worked really well for us in the past.

Still hoping it'll be out soon.

Is there anywhere else I can look for hours? I can only see up to 8th August on the wdw site so do they release somewhere else too for dibb to have all of August?

As mentioned above - look at the week before. It will (probably) be the same recommendations. The recommendations are based on EMH.

Before Disney officially updates their website they make their park hours available as an unofficial pdf on a tucked-away section of their website. It's this that the DIBB and other websites use. The pdf for August is here:

media.disneywebcontent/S...AC_2017aug.pdf

Disney haven't yet released the park hours for the end of August - neither officially nor unofficially. If anywhere else has the hours then they would just be guessing.

Interestingly, that link above shows the EMH days at MK for the end of August. So if anyone is interested in just which days have EMH then they could use the above link (I should've checked that earlier).

I printed them all off for holiday dates and didn't even notice they were missing lol
