    Do they still do the opening ceremony at Animal Kingdom when they have early morning extra magic hours?

    Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Patricia!

    Although unofficial, the opening show at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park is probably my favorite. I love the announcement and the bird flyover. It's beautiful and very fitting for the park. I also like that Disney's Animal Kingdom Park is usually the only park to let you in a little before the scheduled opening time. While my family isn't one for early mornings, it helps if I'm able to entice my oldest with a few rides on Expedition Everest before the lines fill in!

    In my experience, the show is still performed on mornings with Extra Magic Hours, however, it happens prior to the Extra Magic Hours opening, not the regularly scheduled opening. 

    As always, please let us know if there is anything else we are able to assist you with and thank you for stopping by! Until next time, happy planning!

    Magical Wishes,

    Lauren
