In my 6+ years covering Disney theme parks, I’ve observed that there have been few Disney perks more popular amongst guests than Extended Evening Hours, which provide two hours of extra park time for guests staying at certain hotels.

This October, Extended Evening Hours are returning to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Specifically, on October 27th, the park will be open from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, two hours beyond its general public closure.
