I'm going to be there for a quick trip July 17-21, and I'm really hoping they extend the hours on those nights.

Well, the AP Summer Room discount seems to have sold out. Still, there are other discount/rewards available. For now. See, that's the thing with these kind of discounts. If attendance is low, you can still move some levers to fill it. These may not be high-yield guests, but, they're still squeezable.

I have a feeling July is going to be extremely slow especially with no DAK or Studios extensions.

Sometimes they’ll close a park early, for a corporate buyout or CM event. But I don’t think they’ve done that after posting park hours. At least, not under the “new” system of posting park hours about 6 weeks ahead. Often it’s when @DCBaker posts the park hours with a 4pm closing that we find out about a special event. Or when someone gives a heads up about a CM event about 2 months ahead.
