What do you think of AK EMH in the evening?

[ADisneyQueen]

We are debating about going to AK on a day that there are EMH b/c we will not have park hoppers and it usually closes at 7 which is so early. We would go to Tuskers for dinner around 6 and I don't want to come out and AK is closed.
Is it really busy on EMH nights there? We've never been to any PM EMH anywhere, only AM.

I've never been to AK during an EMH-PM only because there's nothing really open that we're interested in. We go there for the shows, the safari ride and breakfast with Donald. I wouldn't think it would be crowded. Maybe around EE.

This is what's open during an evening EMH at AK:
Dinosaur
Expedition Everest
It's Tough to be a Bug
Kali River Rapids (Seasonal)
Kilimanjaro Safaris (closes early)
Primeval Whirl
TriceraTop Spin
Pangani Forest Exploration Trail

I like to go to Animal Kingdom, but honestly, we spend maybe a half a day there. It's fun, but it's there's so many other disney things I like more. It's definitely good to go to, but in your case, with the park closing so early it may not be worth it. I've never been to AK in EMH but I know for other parks w/ the extra hours, it is busy at first and then an hour later, it is EMPTY.

If AK is a must go to for y'all, then I'd say go for the PM EMH. I don't believe it will be super busy. Hope y'all have an extra magical trip!!

don't know how it will be in June for you, but in late May, we did the evening EMH at AK (after a 5:30 dinner at Tusker House) It was fairly busy until about 8:00 p.m. on a night when EMH was 7-10 . But even 7-8:00 was not as busy as AK gets during the day. And after 8, it was empty. DH & I sat on a bench just off the area where the Dino rides are...we'd see someone walk by about once every 5-10 minutes, and there were no lines for the Dino rides like triceratops spin and whatever that other one is called. That's how empty it was. DD & her friend went to ride Exped. Everest -- they rode several times in a row with no waiting. And it's fun to ride in the dark -- you can see so far from the top, and all the lights twinkling...cool!

I think what happens with AK is most people want to do the animal-related attractions, so they're at the park all day. And it's hot and very crowded...by 4:00 p.m., they're mostly ready to leave, and not wanting to come back after dinner. So it's a great park to go to at night if you want to do just the rides (cuz all the animals have gone beddy-bye.)
