When Walt Disney World first opened the themed land, Pandora – The World of Avatar, and the Rivers of Light attraction, the operating hours for many of the other attractions at the park were increased as the park would be staying open later.  It looks like at least during the winter season that attractions at Disney’s Animal Kingdom will experience reduced operating hours.  There are a few different attractions throughout the park that have either already made adjustments to their operating schedule or will adjust within the next couple weeks.

Kilimanjaro Safaris is located within the Africa area of the park.  It had already changed from closing at 8 PM to a 7:45 PM closing.  The closing time will be adjusted to 6:30 PM starting in November.  Kali River Rapids will also experience an hours adjustment with the attraction opening at 9:30 AM and closing ahead of the park closing at 7:30 PM.  A couple of the trails will also have adjusted hours.  Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail will open at 9:30 AM, after park opening and close early at 4:30 PM.   The Maharajah Jungle Trek won’t open until 10 AM and then will close at 5 PM.

How many of you stay late when visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom?

About Christy Caby

I am a diehard Disney fanatic! I fell in love with all things Disney from an early age and that only increased once I first visited Walt Disney World! It led me to complete a yearlong Disney College Program working at merchandise locations within Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Disney-MGM Studios at that time) and I worked for Disney Parks & Resorts Technology in Project/Program Management. Now I get to write about Disney and help others plan their magical vacations! Disney holds a special place in the hearts of my entire family as my husband proposed there, we honeymooned there, took trips while pregnant with each of my boys and have visited with them many, many times from 8 weeks old through now. One of my favorite memories from each trip is always the look on my kids’ faces the first time they see the castle. I’d love to help you plan your magical vacation!
