Latest AVP Content Updates

The update notices on this page will help you keep track of changes/announcements published in the AVP that may affect your vacation. Another way to keep track is to join your month's Vacation Club in the AVP Forums so you receive my Private Messages when I make an important update!

I'm not too proud! If you ever find something outdated or in error in the AVP, or learn something new you think might help your fellow AVP guests, please Contact Us. I DO try my best, honestly, but the more eyes and ears out there the better ... ;>)

Tue, June 15

Last night, I published the December 21 - 31, 10 Least Crowded Parks Charts and updated the December Express Planner.

[Note: I did something a little different this year... Above each date is a blue box with last year's FINAL scheduling. Disney releases changes to the Christmas Week scheduling every year in waves. First they add double Spectro's, later a 3rd Fantasmic, even later are the 7am EMH's with 8am openings for all guests at select parks on select mornings, etc. Any of the differences I outlined for you are what I actually expect us to see happen based on the past 3 years of schedules. I thought this would help you plan in advance this year, but please use it as a 'fairly accurate' guide. I hope everyone knows how I feel about publishing rumors...]
