Magic Kingdom Last Two Weeks of August 2017

For some strange reason Disney haven't released the times of Magic Kingdom fireworks and parades etc. for the last two weeks of August. What is even stranger is they have released them for September, if you click on Festival of Fantasy Parades 'Show In My Plans' and select August the last two weeks are greyed out, but September isn't.

This is quite worrying because I can't see any reason for this to be happening? I have contacted Disney and all they are saying is that the times will be available closer to the date?

A bit annoying because we are trying to make plans for our Fastpass selections next month. Anyone have any theories on this?

Fingers crossed something will happen soon and put our minds at rest

I'm not worried - they know it's a busy time and my gut feel is that they are looking to try something new out.

I'm sure all will become clear, and am working on the basis of similar times to the start of August.

Apparently the last two weeks of August are one of the quietest times because US schools go back, which is why I'm worried to be honest. This is the first time we have been in August, we've been twice in May and twice in October so not sure what to expect.

After 15/8 its classed as off-peak and its the quietest time of the year. Normally full of Brits but nobody else.

Normally a good time to refurbish rides

I suspect a special ticketed event thats not announced yet. It's greyed out in Sept and October for MNSSHP so wondering if something else is happening then. Looks to be unavailable from the 20th for 2 weeks.

Touring plans I think has the times of the fireworks and parade up. I wonder if they are just guessing.

I honestly can't see them not having anything on. We went in Aug 2015 for the last 2 weeks and it certainly wasn't quiet.

We went the equivalent weeks last year and will be there this year in the same weeks and everything was on last year. Excited we might be able to do MNSSHP!
