Extended Animal Kingdom Park Hours Released ! FastPass+ Plans can be made NOW

From the Disney Parks Blog page: #AwakenSummer at Walt Disney World Resort

Also beginning Memorial Day Weekend, guests will be able to enjoy many of the park's existing attractions in the evening hours for the very first time. Kilimanjaro Safaris will be open for guests to get a glimpse of the savanna's animal occupants as the sun goes down, and of course guests can rediscover favorites like Expedition Everest and Primeval Whirl in the dark.

The park hours have already been extended, which means FastPass+ plans can be made now in the MyDisneyExperience App.

Two new F&B locations, Tiffins restaurant and Nomad Lounge, will also open their doors on Memorial Day Weekend. (Reservations and dining packages haven't been released yet, but as soon as they are we'll post an update).

So I just went thru and tried to make me a FP for June 1. It shows park times there but they are not published park times yet....

I would really like to get to planning my August trip with correct park times waiting

Just a reminder! Nocturnal Hours Start Soon! From the Disney Parks Blog:

Nocturnal Encounters " Opening May 27, 2016!
Venture out onto the savanna for a nighttime safari tour"and see the animals in a whole new light.

Experience a different breed of discovery when you explore the wilds of the Harambe Wildlife Reserve at night. Previously off limits to visitors after sundown, this unforgettable journey aboard a rugged, all-terrain caravan takes you deep into the wilds of Africa, where creatures both big and small await your arrival amid the tranquil shadows of the lush brush.

During your adventure, witness the rarely seen nocturnal habits of the reserve's many animal residents, including lions, elephants, hippopotamuses and hyena. Spy a careless crocodile slumped upon a rocky plot. Behold spirited zebras galloping silently across a vast plain. Spot a relaxing rhino soaking up a luxurious mud bath. Strategically placed lighting evoking both the setting sun and rising moon ensure you won't miss a moment. And as always, your friendly safari guide is on hand to share expert knowledge about the animals and their unique nocturnal habits.

So climb aboard, lean back and take in the sights of Africa by night; it's sure to be one drive you won't soon forget.

Does anyone know the times for the Jungle Book show? We don't have tickets yet for this weekend so we can't book a FP+ - which would allow us to see the times.
