Hi there, Susan, and welcome to planDisney! As a fellow Georgian, I'm thrilled that you've stopped by today with this great question about your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World Resort! It sounds like you're planning a fun evening at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, and you must be getting so excited!
Susan, I love that you're planning to take advantage of
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park! This exclusive benefit reserved for Guests of Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resorts is so special because it allows you to soak up all of the excitement that happens in the evenings at the parks. If you've never been to
Pandora - The World of Avatar after the sun sets, you'll love experiencing how it transforms into a glowy wonderland (pro tip: wear white or neon colors to become part of the fun)!
When it comes to dining during Extended Evening Theme Park Hours, you can expect some of the snack carts and potentially some of the quick-service dining locations to be open. I reached out to a Cast Member who let me know that these openings are subject to change, so you'll want to check the
My Disney Experience Mobile App for accurate information on the day of your visit. If I could provide some advice, it would be to make a 5 or 6pm reservation at
Tusker House for dinner, where you'll be treated to a delicious African-inspired buffet. As you dine, Donald Duck and his best pals will make their way to your table for a photo op! A dinner here will give you all the fuel you need to finish strong during Extended Evening Hours.
Susan, I hope this is helpful as you plan your visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth! Please stop back by planDisney with any other questions you have as you continue to count down to your arrival!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
