Hi Mary,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I always enjoy answering questions from fellow North Carolinians. I'm so excited you've decided to attend
Disney After Hours at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park. I have attended a few
Disney After Hours events and there is nothing like walking through the park with lower crowds. It's such a different experience from a typical theme park day. Who doesn't enjoy having lower wait times? Plus, I haven't mentioned the ice cream, popcorn, and select beverages that are included!
I have good news. As long as you have park admissions available, you can use your
theme park ticket to visit whichever park you choose during the day. Then in the evening, you have a separate ticket that will allow you to enjoy Disney's Animal Kingdom Park. Don't forget, with your Disney After Hours ticket you can enter the park as early as 7 P.M. While I'm sure you plan to visit attractions, including the amazing
Avatar: Flight of Passage, I suggest allowing some time to wander around
Pandora - The World of Avatar at night. In the evenings all of the bioluminescent plants and accents glow in beautiful colors.
Mary, thank for visiting us with your question. I hope you'll let us know if we can help you with any other planning questions.
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Amy H.
