According to a Walt Disney World park hours update, Disney’s Animal Kingdom will have an Extended Evening Hours event on October 11th. The official Walt Disney World website has not been updated to reflect the addition of Disney’s Animal Kingdom (or Disney’s Hollywood Studios), but the park hours clearly indicate that Extended Evening Hours will be offered from 6pm to 8pm after the park closes.
A shift away from Magic Kingdom during the fall is not unprecedented and even expected. It’s a bit surprising that Walt Disney World has not updated the Extended Evening Hours webpage, but we have reached out to Disney for more clarification. We’ll keep you updated should we hear back.
Here’s a look at the modified fall schedule. As a reminder, Extended Evening Hours is usually at EPCOT on Mondays and Magic Kingdom on Wednesdays. That pattern is disrupted starting September 25th, as follows:
- September 23 | EPCOT
- September 25 | Disney’s Hollywood Studios
- September 30 | EPCOT
- October 2 | Disney’s Hollywood Studios
- October 7 | EPCOT
- October 11 | Disney’s Animal Kingdom (Friday)
We’ll continue to keep an eye on the park hours for more information about Extended Evening Hours this fall. Hopefully, Disney World will update their Extended Evening Hours webpage with the changes noted above shortly.
