ALERT! Extended Evening Hours May Be Coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom

If you’re staying at a Walt Disney World Resort, there are a few perks that you can get with your booking.

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort

You’ll get to book dining reservations for your entire trip at the 60-day mark, you’ll be able to get into any theme park 30 minutes early each day of your stay, and you’ll be able to book Individual Lightning Lanes at 7AM instead of waiting until park opening time, to name a few. But for those shelling out a little extra cash and choosing to stay at a Deluxe Resort, there’s one bonus perk.

Guests of Disney World’s Deluxe Resorts can participate in what Disney calls “Extended Evening Hours” on select nights. A couple nights a week, Disney offers a bonus 2-hour time period in select parks for Deluxe guests, where the lines for rides are typically MUCH shorter than during the daytime.

This is a great time for you to stroll the park after dark, enjoy the empty walkways, and hop on a couple of attractions that were busy during the day. Previously, we’ve seen this perk offered at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios…but now it might be coming to Animal Kingdom!

We checked out the Disney World month calendar online, and for the month of November, it’s showing that Animal Kingdom will offer Extended Evening Hours on November 8th. This would be the first time this perk is offered in that park!

Disney hasn’t yet made an announcement about adding this perk to Animal Kingdom but we’ll be on the lookout for any updates. Hopefully, this is something that will be available more regularly! (We would especially love to spend more time in Pandora — The World of Avatar at night!)
