Oct '17 - check your AK plans - hours extended

[barbliny]

All of you who have been waiting for Disney to get rid of those awful 7:00 pm closings in October have gotten your wish!!

AK now closes at 8:00 pm for all of my 6 days - and ROL is now EVERY night 7:45.

I looked yesterday - and it was still a mix of 7:00 and 7:30 closing during my days there.

Same for November! Whee! Thanks for the heads up!

 

[lindsayjs]

Yay!

 

[MightyKwinn]

YIPPEE!! Although still not seeing any FP+'s added ...

 

[mamamelody2]

Cool!

 

[MusicalAstronaut]

And even better, MK's closing time was changed to 11pm for one of my nights!

Where are you finding this information? Is there one place with all park schedules? Thanks!

 

[Micca]

I saw a number of posts from concerned folks about the 7pm AK shutdown, glad to hear they've changed it. Perhaps if the crowds really pick up they'll do it even later.

Is it on Disney's site that you are seeing the extended hours?

THANK YOU!!! I've been waiting for that good news for a while now!

 

[barbliny]

Is it on Disney's site that you are seeing the extended hours?

Yes - on Disney's non-user friendly, slow-loading, day by day park hours

 

[maxiesmom]

Now if they would only extend the Pandora EMHs, all would be golden!

 

[SaraVee]

Unfortunately, you have to go slowly and painfully day by day (and click on the Animal Kingdom to see show times, etc.)

It's too new to have hit monthly calendars for travel agents or on other planning sites (although they may have caught on in the last couple of hours).

Either FoP FP+ are already gone, or they haven't loaded the additional hour yet.

 

[FelisLachesis]

I haven't looked much, but Jan 2018 has gotten some updates for AK, as well.

 

[karrit2000]

TA calendars haven't been updated yet. I just checked, October is from 8/11/17 & November is 8/17/17

 

[MightyKwinn]

Just found FP's.

 

[momtoprincesses]

Thanks so much! I was able to get the ROL FP I was waiting for!
