Great. Now we can beat the crowd… …marching toward the exit.

Disney has added Zootopia: Better Zoogether! to the list of attractions available during Early Entry and Extended Evening Hours.

These EEH have really thrown off our planning…! We expected (and semi-planned for) EPCOT on Monday and MK on Wednesday, so have had to shift everything around. Hopefully back to normal the week after for our second week!

There’s an After Hours event at DHS on the 28th.

Lame that they are sending it to AK though, usually outside of Christmas the backup for MK is DHS.

nickys18 days ago

Good to know, thanks. So that explains why EEH has been moved from MK for the 28th.

spectromagic0418 days ago

Usually when one of the parks has a party of some sort they don’t do EEH during that week. Happens all the time with MK and Epcot.

The CM Celebration event is taking place the day before at MK, with MK closing at 4:30pm on Tues 27th. Could this be related? I think they usually do have another CM event but not the following night.

According to posted park hours, Extended Evening Hours will occur at Disney's Animal Kingdom on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, instead of Magic Kingdom.

Money.

This is kinda crappy. The most popular park in the world closes early half the week during party season and they move the deluxe benefit to the park with the fewest attractions and the earliest close. For comparison, in 2021 they were doing EPCOT and MK with hours ending anywhere from 11:00pm to 1:00am
