Park Hours Extended at Animal Kingdom this Spring

Great news for guests visiting Walt Disney World, but more importantly, Animal Kingdom this spring. Park hours have been extended in April and May, allowing for more time for the rides and shows.

Here are the updated park hours:

April 7th-28th: 9:00 a.m. – 9:30 p.m.


April 27th: 8:00 a.m. – 9:30 – p.m. (EMH 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.)

April 29th – 30th: 9:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.

May 1st – 2nd: 9:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.

May 3rd – 4th: 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.

If you’ve never been to Animal Kingdom at night, it’s a completely different park than during the day. Head over to Pandora to see it glowing with Bioluminescence. The transformation is beautiful. While you’re in Pandora, hop on a banshee and take it for a spin on Flight of Passage.

What else can you do with the park hours extended at Animal Kingdom? My other favorite night time activity, once it’s dark, is Kilimanjaro Safari. The experience itself in fun and seems extra bumpy when you can’t see the road in front of you. Different animals are awake and active at night, keeping the journey a mystery around every turn. Don’t forget to look for the newest baby giraffe too. Lastly, save time for the nighttime show, Rivers of Light, shown most nights at 8:30 p.m. Check your My Disney Experience App or your daily park guide for up to date show times.

Don’t miss out on the park hours extended at Animal Kingdom this spring. It’s a great way to get a little more adventure and magic out of your days at Walt Disney World.
