Today, we spotted some changes when it comes to park hours this month at select Disney World theme parks! If you’re heading to Disney World soon, you’ll definitely want to know about these updates as they could help you spend a little extra time in the parks.

Both Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom recently updated their hours to add some extra time. The updated park hours apply to several days in October, and they start tomorrow.

Animal Kingdom is going to stay open until 8PM (instead of 7PM) from October 13th through the 16th
