Disney made a round of extensions to the May operating schedule. See the full operating schedule here: http://media.disneywebcontent.com/StaticFiles/ParkHours/WDWTravelAgent_may.pdf. Like the last few rounds of extensions for months further out than the immediate next month, these changes don’t arrive with additional nighttime entertainment. We should see the Electrical Parade scheduled twice nightly and many days with two Fantasmic shows at Hollywood Studios. It also seems likely Animal Kingdom would require serious extensions to accommodate Rivers of Light.

Has anyone heard any rumors about a 24 hour day in 2016? I would think if it was going to be on leap day they would have announced it already. When did they announce it for summer kick off in past years?
The Animal Kingdom extensions are interesting… but surely if needs to be extended further for the Rivers of Light show, or will the show be occurring at about 6:30-7 pm? Sunset is after 8 in May, so I can’t image the show is that early.
Looks like they aren’t going to actually put the night time Animal Kingdom stuff into the schedule formally around the time it actually opens?
I just wonder what type of effect it will have on the crowd calendar.
How about March hours updates? It is almost time to do my fastpasses and it seems every month has been updated except for March. It still doesn’t show 8 am openings Easter week.
