Trip starts August 11 2024

The current hours posted for August seem to be the standard hours, with the exception of the party hours.
MK 9am -10pm
AK 9am -6pm
E 9am-9pm
DHS 9am - 9am

When does Disney generally make changes to park hours? 2 weeks before, at the start of the month? I know that they can and do change them at any time.

Thanks for your help
 
Posted 2 months ahead, then generally updated every 2 weeks after that. They're usually "locked in" 2-3 weeks before as previous poster said but they have occasionally changed. That seems to happen less lately though.
 
I'm ready for some finalized August info as well. I'm hoping there will be two Fantasmic showings the night we're in HS so we can utilize the "hop in line at the end of the night" strategy for a ride.
 
I am wondering if us August people can expect hours updated soon?
Looks like possibly 7:30am early entry at AK (just guessing it will be 7:30am, but maybe only for July? ), but 8:30am at the other parks? Do you think AK will be 7:30am early entry? So nice to get an early jump on the hot days.
Any thoughts?
 
I thought that the last time we went (August 2022) that Magic Kingdom had early entry in the morning at 7:30am on party days, but maybe I'm wrong. I thought it would be the same this year, but not looking like it?
ETA- I see that the 16th does have EE at 7:30. We're there during the 20th party date and hoping for 7:30am EE. August 9th and 13th are also party days but I don't think they have EE until 8:30am?
