Since Disney’s Animal Kingdom usually closes early, many refer to it as a “half day park”. That’s probably a fair assessment these days. But think of it this way. After Disney’s Animal Kingdom closes, you’ll have an evening open! Spend some time at Disney Springs, go Resort Hopping, or relax at your resort’s pool. Or you could always go to bed early and enjoy a full night’s sleep! Those can be rare on a Walt Disney World vacation.
