October Park Hours

[lisaisjessiesmom]

I can almost book my fast passes, but Animal Kingdom's hours during my stay are still listed at 7:00PM. Is that most likely going to change? If so, I am out of luck for booking an evening fast pass because I wont know when to sign on for maximum fast pass booking opportunity?

Usually park hours are always subject to change, but they may not just because they have parties going on at MK so that may be a big factor why AK is closing earlier.

September JUST updated this past week, and AK is open until 9 pm most nights. I'm hoping Oct will do the same.

It doesn't really make a difference for FP+ right now. You'll only be able to book what the hours are right now. BUT it does mean you need to be watching for when/if they do update, so you can change things if needed.

We booked fast passes a few days ago and AK shows closing for 7pm but we booked ROL for 730, so I'm sure they'll update park hours soon.

I'm not sure how accurate this is because we got FP for ROL which is at 745 but park shows as closing at 7pm as of today still...

Exactly. The FP+ system will probably be updated before the calendar is.

Hours could be extended but you getting a FP after park closing is not uncommon at all.

All the time Disney frequently will have RoL and Fantasmic scheduled after the park is closed. They do this to break up the crowd. Some people leave, some go to the show, so not everyone is leaving at once.

So hours could very well be extended, but it won't be out of the ordinary if they don't
