Disney Shifts May Extended Evening Hours to Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios

Access remains limited to Deluxe and Deluxe Villa resorts and select partner hotels.

Overview

Disney’s calendar shows Animal Kingdom hosting Extended Evening Hours on May 4 and May 13 from 6:00–8:00 p.m., with Magic Kingdom on May 6 and Hollywood Studios on May 11 from 9:00–11:00 p.m.
Animal Kingdom’s earlier evening window reflects operational limits tied to wildlife care, distinguishing it from later offerings at other parks.
Eligibility is restricted to registered guests at Disney Deluxe and Deluxe Villa resorts plus select hotels such as the Swan, Dolphin, Swan Reserve, and Shades of Green.
Animal Kingdom’s lineup during the extended window includes Avatar Flight of Passage, Expedition Everest, Na’vi River Journey, and Zootopia: Better Zoogether!
The published schedule currently runs only through mid-May, marking a rotation shift from the typical EPCOT and Magic Kingdom pattern with further dates yet to be posted.
