Animal Kingdom Extends Evening Hours in November, Bringing Back Pandora After Dark

Earlier sunsets plus 8 p.m. closes create time for Pandora’s bioluminescent presentation.

Overview

  • Disney says the longer schedule begins November 1, with several nights now listed to close at 8 p.m.
  • With sunset around 5:30 p.m., guests should get roughly two hours of true nighttime atmosphere in Pandora.
  • Reporters describe a distinct after-dark experience featuring glowing landscapes, layered ambient audio, and illuminated floating mountains.
  • Crowd patterns are expected to shift toward sundown, with photo spots filling up and waits likely rising for Avatar Flight of Passage.
  • The timing lines up with a planned Zootopia stage show at the Tree of Life theater, which could further boost evening attendance.
