I hear you
We have a 6 days trip planned at the end of September with priority on HHN and I am also waiting for MNSSHP dates to be announced before locking HHN into place. We are currently booked at Yacht Club since I rather stay on Disney property since it will be a laid back trip (no rope drop 
) We also want to take advantage of the extended evening hours at Epcot and HS but who knows when they will announce those dates 
I still think something strange is going on and I’m not at all confident we’re hearing very soon.
According to Plan Disney, they recommend checking the Disney Blog, Facebook, and Instagram accounts "around April 30th". I'm guessing tomorrow will be Halfway to Halloween with MNSSHP being announced Tuesday
I hear you
Sounds like a great plan. Btw lovely hotel selection
And 2,5 weeks give you a lot of flexibility. I was thinking Sept 29 for HHN which would be a Sunday where they rarely do Extended Evening Hours. I really want to take advantage of being able to walk to the parks that’s why EEH are such a big deal for me I saw the Plan Disney report over the weekend too, that's a pretty confident site that guides people well with their questions and concerns, and generally knows the typical Halloween process; plus now with the Disney Food in the mix reporting ever more information and proof, all signs point to this week for sure. Let's just end all the suffering and do it no later than the 30th, lol. With the potential leak of start on Aug 9th, and end of Oct 31st, looks like they might not even touch the schedule from last year and everything got pushed up 2 days due to leap year. Expect Fridays and Tuesdays in August to start (hopefully) because I got my eyes set on August 20th
so I can keep my schedule exactly like last year
Big announcements rarely drop on a Monday. Important announcements usually happen on Tuesdays, Thursdays and sometimes Fridays.
Yup, although I was hoping for today....I'm leaning towards the Plan Disney post because they work for Disney (they said to check Disney's social media around April 30th) - plus August 30th is the actual Halfway to Halloween date!
Thanks! We like to go for 2-2 1/2 weeks in the fall bc Halloween is our favorite time of the year. So I like to hit all three areas. It's so hard to get everything in at HHN, so we were going to go two nights but I decided it would be better to go one night and get an RIP tour. That has completely spoiled us for regular tickets, lol.Sounds like a great plan. Btw lovely hotel selection
I haven’t been at the parks during Halloween season since 2019 but people say it has gotten more crowded. Both MNSSHP and HHN. That’s why I also consider the RIP tour and am also heavily counting on EEH on non event days
)!
I think the After Hours Events typically finish around the third week in August. I'm guessing MNSSHP, MVMCP, the Candlelight Processional, and extended hours for deluxe guests doesn't leave many evenings (or cast members) for After Hour Events from September to December.
they made 4 announcements on Monday Apr 29, so it could still happen today
