Staying at a Disney World Resort offers SO many incredible perks, from free transportation all around Disney to early entry into all of the parks.
Animal Kingdom
These perks are available for all Resort Guests. However, there are a few perks reserved only for guests staying at Disney’s Deluxe hotels. One of the biggest is Extended Evening Hours, and we just found out that a new night was added to Animal Kingdom in October.
Extended Evening Hours run select nights across the Disney World parks and give Deluxe Resort Guests a few extra hours at night to enjoy the parks with fewer crowds and lower wait times. It is an amazing perk that is available at one of the four Disney World parks.
An evening in Animal Kingdom
It typically happens at EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom. However, occasionally Animal Kingdom makes it onto the list as well! And a new October date was just added; in the next several months, here are the three days to enjoy extended evening hours at Animal Kingdom:
- Wednesday, August 26th
- Wednesday, September 2nd
- Tuesday, October 20th
Extended Evening Hours at Animal Kingdom
On these nights, Extended Evening Hours will run from 6 PM to 8 PM, providing guests with the rare opportunity to experience Animal Kingdom in the evening hours.
