While visiting Walt Disney World, Guests can experience some pretty other-worldly sights and sounds.
Whether that’s riding Space Mountain in Magic Kingdom, experiencing Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT, or visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios.
But the most otherworldly sights and sounds of Walt Disney World can only be found in Animal Kingdom’s Pandora – The World of Avatar section.

While it’s the only area of the Disney World Park without a single real animal, there are still alien animals to spot if you’re willing to explore.

It’s no secret that Animal Kingdom closes earlier than any other Disney World Park. But by closing as early as 7 p.m. in the summer, it means Guests are out of the theme park before the sun even begins to set.

On August 11 and 12, Animal Kingdom will close at 8 p.m. instead of 7 p.m., which is still not enough time to experience Pandora – The World of Avatar at night.
