This is even more exciting because you can plan what to do with extra time in the parks! Maybe you want to enjoy a late night dinner reservation, or maybe squeeze a few more rides into your day. Take a look at updated hours for March HERE.

With Daylight Savings here, it’s harder to enjoy the beauty of Animal Kingdom after dark. Pandora is truly the best at night! For the month of April, Animal Kingdom opens from 8:00am until 8:00pm.

Early entry for Disney resort guests begins at 7:30am.
