Automated updates have arrived

The latest update was performed automatically. I have completed the automatic synchronization program that I alluded to earlier. The program uses the data available from the Park Hours page on the Walt Disney World web site. This synchronization program will hopefully keep MouseCal's data more accurate as Disney publishes new information.

August 2009 (almost) Updates

I have updated May through August 2009 (except for August 31--for some reason it wasn't published by Disney) in MouseCal.

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.
