AK December hours

[PlutoNotPlanet]

I vaguely remember Animal Kingdom closed 7PM last December at least some of the days.
Right now, the posted schedule is all 6PM. Will it be updated in the upcoming weeks?
Also, another question, would Tree of Life Awakenings (light projection) be available if the park closes when it's not fully dark?
Thanks in advance!

Here’s a nice format to see last year’s hours after they updated:

Mostly 6pm closings though first 2 weekends had 8pm. After that only 1 night went to 7pm.

Yes. I had the same situation last year, only it was about January. The park had closed at 7:00 on weekend nights, and I loved it (Pandora). I was so disappointed when I was planning my trip last year, and the dates all were listed as 6:00 closing. But a couple weeks before my trip, it changed to 7:00 on some nights. Hope it does for you too!

I know. This one hour looks so small but once you have been spoiled the feeling is different. Plus the last hour does get quite something done haha

I checked a few photos of mine. Now I feel some dates the data is not 100% correct. I had a Tusker House reservation 6:30pm on 12/22 which indicates that the park wasn't closed until 7pm. Anyway, it's still great to see the historical data at the same place! Maybe it changed last-minute or so. Thanks again!

I am so sorry! Thought I was using this one (which seems more reliable):
