Disney Animal Kingdom Night Hours Extended Starting in May
Published on 4/21/16 by Craig Smith
Given that Disney is launching a slew of new nighttime attractions at Animal Kingdom beginning Memorial Day weekend, it was only a matter of time that they extended the park’s night hours. WDW News Today reported last night that cast members were informed yesterday that the park will be open nightly until 11pm beginning May 27th.
For more information about park hours for any of the theme parks in Walt Disney World Resort, please see my Disney hours resource page.
