    We are planning a trip in September. I've read some about the river of lights at animal kingdom that will open in spring. My question is how will this work? I know animal kingdom normal closes at 5/6pm. will hrs extend?

    Hi, Carrie!
    Thanks for coming back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!

    I'm excited about the new experiences opening at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park this spring. The Disney Parks Blog reports the new "awakening" at night at the Tree of Life and a new show, "Rivers of Light." 

    Since these new experiences are based on a nighttime experience, park hours will expand but the actual times haven't been released yet. I'm looking forward to taking my family to the park and enjoy entirely new Animal Kingdom memories!

    These are just a couple new reasons to get excited about your September trip! Please let me know if I can help you with any other questions you may have before your unforgettable vacation.
