Animal Kingdom December Hours
Animal Kingdom December Hours are some of the most diverse of the year. Some days the park closes at 5:00, some days at 6:00 some days at 7:00 and then Extra Magic hours comes along and some days are 8:00 all the way to 10:00. (Gonna have some sleepy animals.)
December continues Christmas events in the Animal Kingdom. Every day the afternoon parade gets taken over by Christmas. Even the big guy shows up at the end.

Crowds in December are erratic. They range from very small to wall to wall. The week of Christmas can be a zoo (pun intended).

Extra Magic Hour
The EMH you see in the calendar is Disney's Extra Magic Hours. EMH is a program for Disney hotel guests that allows you to be in the park outside of normal operating hours. Only selected rides are open during Extra Magic Hours.
There are several extra Early Extra Magic Hours toward the end of the month.

As usual Disney's Animal Kingdom December hours are subject to change without notice. Or at least without fanfare.

Dad's Bottom Line
Dad just loves Christmastime at Disney World. It's fun to see all the animals all decked out in their Christmas finest. (Not really.)
Animal Kingdom HoursThe Lion sleeps just about any time he wants. Animal Kingdom hours are fairly stable compared to The Magic Kingdom. The park opens at 9:00 every morning and closes between 5 and 8 pm. Most of the year it's 5:00, but during the busy times it will run clear up to 8:00.
Extra Magic HoursExtra Magic Hours are a perk for all Disney hotel guests. They add an additional 1 to 3 hours to the scheduled park hours. At the Animal Kingdom the Extra Magic Hours most weeks include one morning (usually Monday) and one evening (usually Friday). But during the busy months you can expect two mornings and one evening. See Dad's Extra Magic Hour page.The Current ScheduleDisney publishes 6 months of schedule at a time. (This matches with the time you can make Advanced Dining Reservations.) You can check Dad's Calendar or look at Disney's. Here's Dad's calendar from the Animal Kingdom -Disney's Animal Kingdom Hours page Dad's Bottom LineIt's good to know the hours when your visiting a Walt Disney World park. Crowds are the lightest at opening and closing times. Go early, go late, or fight the crowds. For Dad that's a no brainer. Dad's Animal Kingdom page
