Animal Kingdom closing an hour early for one day??

[yorkieteacher]

I know Disney hours can be crazy, but we are going the week of November 13. We planned to visit Animal Kingdom Thursday, November 16 and have already made dining reservations and fast passes are booked. I noticed it closes at 7 pm that evening, and no other time the previous month, that month, or the following month does it appear to close that early. Any idea why? One more hour would surely mean a lot!

Possible there is a cast party of some sort that evening.
Or some sort of other private function planned.
Getting to the time of year where that type of things happen

I was wondering the same thing. Of course that's the day we're going to be there
