Why the change from MK to AK for extended evening hours on 1/28?

Was looking at deluxe hours during our stay next month and expected to see Mk hours on 1/28, for which I would buy an extra day of tickets to go, but instead see the hours are at AK and end at 8pm. Pretty bummed about that and the early evening end means we def won’t buy the extra day. Anyone have any idea why?

Think I read that is the "day" they are beginning the painting project of the castle going forward so ... I imagine they might be moving after hours so they can use that time & night to get the equipment/cranes/barriers etc in and parked ready to go.
