Enjoy Animal Kingdom Even Later This Summer

Sivako! Get ready to enjoy the magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom for even longer this summer. Here is when you can experience this rare treat.

Guests staying at Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resorts can experience the parks at night after everyone else has left. This is one of the many great benefits of staying at these high-tier resorts.

Typically, Epcot hosts Extended Evening Hours on Monday, and Magic Kingdom hosts Extended Evening Hours on Wednesday. This has been the case for the last few years, with a few exceptions.

For the most part, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom are left out of the Extended Evening Hours fun, but we have great news for Animal Kingdom guests.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom typically closes early to allow time to care for the animals. It’s hard to see Animal Kingdom lit up at night because it closes so early.

Guests staying in a Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resort can enjoy Extended Evening Hours at Animal Kingdom this summer. First, on May 5, 2025, the Park will be open from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

On July 2, 2025, Animal Kingdom will be open from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. We hope more dates will be added for Extended Evening Hours at Animal Kingdom.

What will be open?
