We saw Jungle Book back in June and DW and I absolutely loved it. The audience interaction and singing/dancing was the best part!
If it is true, I know what park I'll be avoiding on Labor Day. Everybody and their mama will probably be there.

Our AK day is scheduled for Sun before Labor Day. I hope they DON'T get ROL up and running by then. I'd much rather have a non-crowded AK w/o ROL than a mob-scene/shoulder to shoulder AK with ROL! I've always enjoyed AK as a peaceful, move through it slowly and take it all in kind of park.
Yes, I saw your post earlier in the thread! We also are arriving on the 3rd and for the past 3 visits our 1st park day, the "recommended" day has been AK So now it's kind of become a tradition! We were happy to see that the 4th was an 11pm closing! Can't wait to stroll through the park at night! Going to be so different! Got a FP+ for the safari right at dusk!We also have our first AK day on Sunday the 4th. Looking forward to the 11:00pm closing time! We'll be back at AK on the 9th and the 14th so I'm hoping the hours get extended.
Kind of wondering why the other nights were not also late closings (???)..... but for us it's OK bc the 4th is our only day at AK. We leave on the 12th.
I can answer for September 6. That's the first of several DVC events taking place at Animal Kingdom. For the other nights, I'm not sure why the closing times vary.
I guess this means that the Jungle Book show is not drawing in enough people to make it worthwhile to keep the park open late.... until ROL rolls out (??)It's because they don't know if RoL will be ready by then. I don't think they will extend the hours past Labor Day until they know RoL is ready to roll.

The park will stay open late and the jungle book actors and singers are signed until November. RoL is said to possibly be ready for September but they have jungle book still there in case.I guess this means that the Jungle Book show is not drawing in enough people to make it worthwhile to keep the park open late.... until ROL rolls out (??)

I'm thinking that if they know RoL can't go for sure Jungle Book will be extended for at least another month. I can't see them closing the park earlier again.What's your prediction on what is going to happen after September 5th if RoL isn't ready? I'm torn between thinking they will discontinue Jungle Book vs. continuing Jungle Book and losing money by keeping the park open. I'm leaning toward the former but hoping for the latter...

Since it starts getting darker earlier it's possible the park is only open until 8 and they run the show at 8. Maybe they'll extend the hours to 9. However I can't see them going back to a 5 PM closing.So you're speculating that they will extend hours from 8:00 to 11:00? Or, start JB at 8:00 and close the park afterwards? Purely speculation, I know
...... from what I've heard, the park has been pretty empty in the night.......It's unfortunate because AK being open at night is big enough reason for me to be there at night. We just like the atmosphere.
Yes jungle book is temporary.So is Jungle Book a kind of fill in until ROL comes online? Have I understood that correctly? I assume then it will disappear?
