Automated updates, coming soon

I haven't updated the park hours for a couple months now. In my last update at the beginning of January I mentioned that Disney was rolling out a new web site with a new "park hours" calendar. In the past few weeks I have been developing a program to extract the operating hour information from the HTML. Tonight, I have verified that my algorithm is able to successfully extract the operating hour data. Next on my list is to modify the site so that I can automatically synchronize the extracted data into MouseCal. The hope is that an automated process can be used to keep the MouseCal data as up to date as possible.
