Operating Hours Extended for Animal Kingdom on Select Nights in November and December

Disney’s Animal Kingdom has extended its operating hours on select nights in November and December to cope with expected guest demand. These additions to the park hours are different than Extra Magic Hours, which requires a guest to stay on property to gain access to extended hours.

The long extension of operating hours on New Year’s Eve is to accommodate the offerings announced earlier this year. Throughout the night, you’ll find special New Year’s Eve-themed food and drinks, while DJs in Asia, Discovery Island, and DinoLand U.S.A. will keep the party pumping!

Let’s take a look at the new, longer hours at the Animal Kingdom.:

  • November 25, 26, 27, 29: Park Hours Extended to 9 PM (Previously 8 PM)
  • December 31: Park Hours Extended to 12 AM (Previously 8 PM)

We’ll keep you updated on any further changes to Walt Disney World operating hours as the holiday season approaches.
