Let's see how Disney World extends their "Hours" October, November, and December 2020.
I'm going in December 2020 and I'm hoping for longer night-time hours so I can enjoy all of the Christmas Lights, especially at MK. 8pm is better than 6pm.
And with EPCOT closing at 9pm, can I wish for fireworks over the lake?
And Animal Kingdom for an early Safari ride.
If you notice your vacation park hours improving post (or shrinking...boo) post them here

It seems like WDW is keeping the future park hours close to the vest within a few weeks.
If they do expand the hours for my dates, I may need to change some of my plans like fewer Disney Springs visits with late-night dining reservations that I may have to cancel and stay at the possible extended park hours for more nighttime Christmas experiences.
But really...no one knows what the future holds. But we can hope for the best.
I've finished my ADR's up to 12/14/2020
I reserved all of my park days a long time ago.
I'll have to wait to finish the rest of my dining reservations because of a split stay and the 60-day requirements.
I got most dining reservations.
I was disappointed at not having DHS availability for Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant and Hollywood & Vine for any of my days
So here my park hours.
I'll update them daily if I see any changes.
