Animal Kingdom Park Hours Extended on Select Dates in March 2020

It sure seems like they are updating park hours more randomly recently. Used to be more consistently on a Friday in the middle of the month and now it seems like park hours updates can roll out at any time.

I had 9p for my March 14 date is it extended to 10p because the article is starting 9p.

Some guests calculate how many more hours they can get at park X. And with that it becomes enticing to purchase/visit that park and Disney has achieved a crowd leveling by merely adjusting operating hours. Maybe I'm wrong.

MK hours are also extended, at least for my trip. Now open until 10 instead of 9.

And with arguably the most popular attraction in RotR and the upcoming MMRR, they (HS) close before 9 PM? I see no logic in that from a guest satisfaction standpoint.

Couple of good, rare characters. Milo and Kida from Atlantis. Herc and Meg from Hercules. Looks like it might be human Beast from Beauty and the Beast. And Shang and Mulan, dunno if I've ever heard of Shang being out before. Anna and Kristoff from Frozen.

I didn't really like the live action, but I think it is more I don't like these "remakes" - but I am waaaay more interested in an original story (which this says it would be)

Sort of thought this would be a Disney+ thing, but guess if you get Will Smith he is going to be on the big screen

Excited about this! Loved the remake even more than the original which was a surprise even to me!

They should focus more on creating new original animated stories. The remakes are fine but they just don’t top the originals. I haven’t seen one that I said wow that improved the story of the animated one.

Only one that is close to saying that for me is Cinderella. Not sure if "better" that original but at least it felt different and had enough differences to the story that it was a welcome alternative

Cinderella is one of those films that’s been done so many times that I can see that being done again (and again). It’s something like Lion King where it’s a shot for shot that just doesn’t add anything.

We’re excited to see Mulan as it appears to be quite different from the original. But, hopefully not too different.

Yeah, it is the shot for shot (or near that) and also when it is the same tone, just feels like "what's the point?". (to make money, I know)

But I agree about Mulan, it just "feels" different and will likely give that one a shot

I adored the live action Cinderella. It was so lush and vivid looking.
The actors were so spot on for every character! She's who I think of now for Cinderella. And the Prince was charming!
