Pandora Opening Weekend Extra Magic Hours Attractions for Animal Kingdom Announced

The opening weekend for Pandora – The World of Avatar is coming up quickly, planned for May 27th.  This opening has been much anticipated over the last few months and is the top of the talk on all of the Disney sites.  During the days and months following the opening, Extra Magic Hours are expected only for resort guests in the evenings to help give resort guests more opportunities to experience the world of Pandora at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.  The Extra Magic Hours were originally thought to only include Pandora experiences, but Disney has confirmed that from May 27th through May 29th there will be additional attractions open.

The full list of attractions open during Extra Magic Hours for opening weekend in addition to Pandora is:

  • Expedition Everest
  • Primeval Whirl
  • TriceraTop Spin
  • Fossil Fun Games
  • Tree of Life Awakenings
  • Rivers of Light
  • Discovery Island Carnival

The Extra Magic Hours are scheduled 11PM to 1AM on the nights it is offered.  Starting from May 30th through July 4th, the evening Extra Magic Hours will return to just be for Pandora experiences and no other attractions within the park.  This could obviously change at any time and Disney could decide that more attractions should be open due to popularity, but this is the schedule as it sits now.

Who will be there for opening weekend?  Who can’t wait to take advantage of the Extra Magic Hours at Disney’s Animal Kingdom?

About Christy Caby

I am a diehard Disney fanatic! I fell in love with all things Disney from an early age and that only increased once I first visited Walt Disney World! It led me to complete a yearlong Disney College Program working at merchandise locations within Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Disney-MGM Studios at that time) and I worked for Disney Parks & Resorts Technology in Project/Program Management. Now I get to write about Disney and help others plan their magical vacations! Disney holds a special place in the hearts of my entire family as my husband proposed there, we honeymooned there, took trips while pregnant with each of my boys and have visited with them many, many times from 8 weeks old through now. One of my favorite memories from each trip is always the look on my kids’ faces the first time they see the castle. I’d love to help you plan your magical vacation!
