Just keep the park open. Probably add a night parade and maybe a nighttime spectacular as well.

But that would also mean closing down the animal-based attractions anyway, no? To my understanding it was because of them that the park closed so early.
Ah, whatever. I'm over-thinking this anyway.
They close the park now at dusk because,yes, they have to close the animal exhibits at night. But mainly because after they close the animal exhibits, the parks capacity is unworkable. When you have a half day park, then close have the attractions, you can't sell that as a real option to tourists.

Okay, now that makes sense. Thank you. With that said, could the Avatarland expansion be enough to fit capacity? I find that a little hard to believe...
Avatar, EE, Dinoland, Kali. It definitely wouldn't be ideal, but it could stay open. I guess.
Bug could stay open too. Add a nighttime show or parade and it could work for a couple hours
Busch Gardens can manage to stay open all hours of the night and work around the animals and having to close their exhibits so I can imagine Ak could as well if they can manage to add enough rides, night time shows to make it a full day park. Granted also BGT does have a lot more rides than AK.

when does AK close? I havent been since EE opened, and I don't remember.
From what I do remember, I don't see why the park couldnt stay open later.
I also see "Pandora land" as a completely indoor environment, I dont see how it could work any other way thematically.

I want to say AK closes 5-6pm the times I have been there, and those were around non peak times. Also will vary during day light savings time. To be honest though we never stayed that late anyways so really didn't pay attention to the closing time.
Ive only had the opportunity to see AK at night once running the Everest Challenge in May and will admit I enjoyed seeing that park at night, definitely has a whole different feel at ambiance at night. And riding Everest at night was such a better experience IMO than during the day.
If Disney learned anything from the DCA makeover, I hope it's how to turn a park into a true Disney park. I hope that if/when this project does happen, it includes some of the other little things that Animal Kingdom needs to come up to par.
