We were there the 13th-17th and things closed earlier than they do in Sept but it was all scheduled that way. Some hours changed giving us more hours in the park but that was about a week before we went that they did this. The only thing different we noticed was that Tinkerbell didn't fly off the castle during Wishes which was disappointing. The weather was really nice that night too. So since it was our first "winter" trip, not really sure if that is a regular thing or if it had something to do with the refurb and big crane behind the castle. It in no way ruined our trip but felt bad for the first timers travelling with us.
