Extended Evening Hours for the first two Wednesdays of July have been scheduled for Animal Kingdom instead of Magic Kingdom. I wonder if this trend will continue.
There are rumours that the new MK evening parade will start at that time, leading to the end of Extended Deluxe hours for MK altogether.
ETA: Reason being that Disney may try to do 2 runs of the parade each night, which would make Magic Kingdom's hours go late each night as it is. (example: parades at 9 & 11. Fireworks at 10)
I know for most others, they would not like this change. But we would LOVE it! AK is never open past dark, so in late October when we go, it would be open until 8, so a chance to see it after dark.
I'm a fan of this too. We did AK extended hours last December, and we practically had the park to ourselves. Walk on in Pandora, it was amazing. And Pandora is gorgeous at night.
