AK trail hours

[honeycomb111]

When I last visited Animal Kingdom a few years ago, I recall the Gorilla Falls and Maharajah Jungle Trek closed in the late afternoon. Seems like maybe by 4PM. I will be visiting AK the third week of November. Does anyone know how early they close the two trails? I am trying to decide if we should start our day at HS or AK. I want to make sure the trails do not close too early if we hop to AK at 2PM. We want to visit the two trails, ride FOP, Navi River, Kilimanjaro Safari, Expedition Everest, and eat at Satuli.
Can we get all of that done from 2-7PM?

Sundown in November will be around 5:30 PM, so I suspect they'll close the trails and the Safari by 5, maybe earlier, in order to clear all guests out before it gets dark. So I would plan to do the trails and the Safari early in your visit (maybe book a G+LL for Safari). Hopefully, you'll be able to buy ILL$ for FoP and Everest and book a G+LL for Navi River (or at least buy times for one or two of those) in order to avoid long, unpredictable standby lines. This all assumes that Genie works the way I think it might, but I, along with several thousand others, really don't know what the impact of Genie will be on estimating and planning a day.

Yea, it will likely be pretty early in November. They closed at 6:30 for a 8pm park close last week, but it's lighter a bit later right now.

That’s a helpful data point - sundown is around 7 this time of year.
