DISNEY WORLD NEXT WEEK: MAY 11, 2013 TO MAY 19, 2013

The material below details operating hours, Extra Magic Hours, parades, and fireworks.

The same stuff is in the table, but organized by park, not by topic.

“Star Wars Weekends” kicks off at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for 2013 on Friday May 17.

Because of this, you’ll see slightly different Extra Magic Hours than normal, and early openings at both HS and AK over the weekend.

These weekends increasingly are mobbing the Studios, so avoid Disney’s Hollywood Studios the 17th-19th.

I’ll be at Walt Disney World the 13th through the 19th, at Pop Century, then All-Star Music, and then the Polynesian.  Expect updated reviews of these three to follow in later May and June.

The first part of the trip will be focused on re-testing the Epcot itineraries (I think Danny is right, so I need to test, revise and re-test them), and the second part on fine and fun dining with older son, who just graduated from law school!

Extra Magic Hours next week (and to a lesser extent, operating hours) are a little different than the typical pattern for this time of year.

• Disney’s Animal Kingdom has morning extra magic hours Sunday the 21st and Saturday the 27th, instead of Monday and Wednesday. It also has unusual 8a openings on Saturday the 27th and Sunday the 28th.
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios has its typical Saturday morning EMH on Saturday the 20th, but instead of them being scheduled again Saturday the 27th, they are booked for Wednesday the 24th.
• On Sunday the 28th, instead of evening EMH at the Magic Kingdom, evening EMH will be at the Studios

Those following this site’s Autumn-Winter-Spring itinerary for arrival dates of 4/20 and 4/27 will need to be at the Animal Kingdom an hour earlier than indicated for its “First Sunday.”
