Are you ready to experience the best Disney’s Animal Kingdom has to offer after the sun goes down – including heart-tugging Tree of Life Awakenings, the adventures within Pandora – The World of Avatar and more?
Now you can, thanks to Disney After Hours at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. In case you aren’t familiar with Disney After Hours events, these evening events are your opportunity to experience the magic of a Disney theme park for three hours after regular park hours, which means little-to-no wait for attractions, experiences and character greetings! You can even enter the park early – at 7 p.m. on your event night – before Disney After Hours begins. Ice cream, popcorn and select beverages are also included in your Disney After Hours admission, which is a separately priced ticket from daytime park admission.
