Overview

  • On October 27, 2025 the two-hour Extended Evening Hours benefit will run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Animal Kingdom rather than EPCOT.
  • The change appears in Disney’s official park hours as well as in third-party sites such as Character Locator and KennythePirate.
  • It marks the first Monday night slot for Animal Kingdom since the park joined the Extended Evening Hours rotation in summer 2025.
  • Deluxe Resort and Deluxe Villa guests remain the only ones eligible for the two-hour perk, but Animal Kingdom offers fewer attractions than EPCOT during these after-hours sessions.
  • Observers suggest the switch may accommodate the Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend at EPCOT on October 26, though Disney has not confirmed a reason.
