We will be in the park in mid October, yet when I look on the DLP website I can only see the park hours. Do the parade and firework times get posted closer to the actual date? Just wondering as it is really only a few weeks away at this point.
Also, we are staying on property so I believe w can utilize the extra magic hours, which are daily at both parks from 8:30 - 9:30 with the parks opening at 10 am. I assume it is a good use of our time to hit the major rides for the 3 mornings and then have the rest of our days to spend more leisurely? I am used to the parks in the US and havng a strategy, but dont' want to overplan this trip if I can avoid it.
The daily times don't get released until that week's program is out. However apart from actual Halloween week all weeks in October are likely to be much the same schedule wise.
As for Extra Magic Times, I wrote a guide to that here (https://thegrownupmouse.tumblr.com/extramagictimes) with a section on getting the most out of it. Hope it helps!
Extra Magic Hours are a must for us. Peter Pan, Buzz, teacups, carousel, Dumbo..... We do these before breakfast get them out of the way and focus on the other rides or take it a bit easy. We usually stay at the DLH which makes returning for breakfast a lot easier
