    Hi. We will be visiting AK on December 15, 2016. It is my understanding that the park closes at 5:00 pm. Does anyone know what the times will be for the Nocturnal Encounters? Thank you :)

    Hi Erin, 

    Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thank you for asking us another question!

    Unfortunately, although a basic schedule has been released for Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park for this December, details about whether some of the Park's awesome nighttime activities, including Kilimanjaro Safaris Nocturnal Encounters, have yet to be released. 

    What I would recommend would be to keep an eye on both the schedule (to see if any changes are posted) and on websites like the Disney Parks Blog in order to get more information as you get closer to your vacation. If the opening hours don’t change, if the Nocturnal Encounters Safaris are offered on the day that you’ll be visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, my guess (and it’s only a guess!) would be that they would take place during the last hour of the Park’s operations. 

    Please don’t hesitate to come back and see us if you have any other questions about your upcoming vacation!

    Have a Magical Day, 

    Lynne
