I noticed today that Disney started posting hours for January but it looks like its going in small increments. I am going January 3-10 and they posted Epcot's hours for the 3-12 and Typhoon Lagoon (its actually closed when I go but open the 10-12). Any idea whats going on with that? I want to schedule my ADR and can starting the 5th but I wanted to see the park hours and make my plans according to the 2010 Unofficial Guide (DING!)

They always shut one waterpark during the fall and one during the winter for rehab (and not nearly as busy during cooler months). From All Ears:

Typhoon Lagoon – closed November 30, 2008 through January 13, 2010 for annual refurbishment.
Blizzard Beach – closes for annual refurbishment on January 14, 2010.

Looks like they are easing their way into posting park hours 6 months in advance along with 180 day ADRs.

I think first pulled back the park hours / ADR window to 90 days due to the drop in the economy last year. Maybe things are not improving as rapidly as planned. I noticed the buy 4 get 7 deal is back, so maybe 6 months is still too far for their predictions.
