Best places at Night as WDW

[darthmacho]

I'll definitely agree with BTMRR. Fabulous night ride!
I also love the atmosphere of the resorts at night, my favorite being Wilderness Lodge, but I also love Coronado Springs and Port Orleans Riverside.

My top three are:
1. EE in AK
2. JC in MK
3. TT in HS

I always enjoy thunder mountain at night. But there is nothing better in my opinion than standing in the queue for the tower of terror at night

Couldn't agree more...in fact, I like the whole Disney Studios at night, with the Tower lit up, and the giant Mickey Sorcerer's hat with the spray of search lights behind it, and Gertie the Dinosaur all lit up.

lets face it. Most places in the world are nice at night! :p

[DisneyorBust]

There are so many places that I enjoy at WDW at night, in no particular order:

1) Polynesian Resort -tiki torches burning, Polynesian music in the background and watching 'WISHES!' from the beach.

2) The World Showcase- it seems to be a bit more quiet in the darkness and the Pavillions take on a different "feel".

3) Tomorrowland- I love the lighting and the BGM.

I agree with previous poster Hazmat, most places in the "World" arenice at night.

I agree about Animal Kingdom at night, but another favorite is the boat ride from Downtown Disney to Port Orleans. It's so quiet and peaceful at night.

Poly Beach, Splash Mountain and the Rose & Crown patio during Illuminations are my 3 favs!!

I agree about Animal Kingdom at night, but another favorite is the boat ride from Downtown Disney to Port Orleans. It's so quiet and peaceful at night.

I can see how this would be true. Unfortunately, my only trip on this boat at night was disrupted by a mother and teenage daughter screaming at each other. It started in line to get on the boat, and continued the whole ride back to the resort and across the grounds at POFQ.

Anyway my favorite spots at night are walking the long way around world showcase after illuminations, getting back into futureworld after most of the crowds have cleared out. I love the sparkly sidewalks and Seeing spaceship Earth all lit up. I also love splash mountain during the fireworks, as well as big thunder. I have never tried astro orbitors during the fireworks, but I bet that would be amazing too.

The Haunted Mansion is cool at night - I remember doing it just before MK closed about 1 am one night - SPOOKY!

Wilderness Lodge pier is also cool - watch Wishes fireworks with a mug of hot chocolate and my lovely wife!

Some of the best things to do/see at night:
1. Find the fairy dust in Epcot.

What is the fairy dust? Is it the fiber optics in the sidewalk near Innoventions?

While I agree with most that has been already posted, we've never ridden Jungle Cruise at night. We'll have to try that next trip.

Two of our favorites are:
1.) Main Street, U.S.A. I love being there at night. Magical place to watch fireworks. Love to shop at Emporium.

2.) World showcase. We love to walk around and sample, shop at night. On a typical 9-night vacation, we will end up there four times at night.

Favorite Night Spots:

1. Main Street at park closing.

2. Riding the Astro-Orbiter in Fantasyland

3. Watching the electric water parade from the beach at the Poly

4. Any balcony overlooking the Boardwalk

5. Dusk/Night water taxi rides from Port Orleans to Downtown Disney

6. The exterior portion of Splash Mountain where you can overlook the MK

7. EE (the views are fantastic).

8. The "walk home" from either DS or Epcot to the BC/YC/Swan etc.

I enjoyed walking around Space Mountain, COP, etc. All the lighting around there was neat.

[SillySymphony]

This is one of those occasions where you debate whether or not to give up your "secret fishin' spot", y'know...? But for a quiet respite from the "World", involving a bit of romance, there's a spot just past the Poly on the sidewalk leading to the Floridian that I love. It is a final beachfront area that is, generally speaking, left alone. Sandy beach with a view of MK and a two-person swing... Grab a drink from Capt Cook's and enjoy...!

Last rip we rode BTMRR during fireworks. It was REALLLLLLY cool.

[McLiberal8]

I could spend an hour riding the WEDway Peoplemover at night. The cool night breeze, Wishes in the background, a raspberry lemonade slush in hand... life doesn't get any better.

I went one year w/ my ex gf to the hula dinner at Polynesian. we took a wrong turn and ended up on a small beach. we sat in the beach chairs for about an hour. it was awesome. so cool, so refreshing, so calming....i have done that ever year i've gone.

We've been lucky enough to find janitors painting pictures on the asphalt in Tomorrowland twice. They use water for paint.

We saw them "painting" Disney characters on Main Street one night when we were some of the last guests leaving the MK. I have pictures of Pluto, Mickey, & some other characters...I can't remember which ones right now. It was a neat surprise - I'd never seen them doing that before - he was just "painting with water and a broom!

[IloveDisney71]

I love walking around any of the parks or resorts when it's dark. Disney has a magical way of lighting things that changes the entire feel of the parks/resorts from the way they feel during the day.
But if I had to pick I'd have to say that I enjoy walking around the AK the best at night. It's just so peaceful.

[SandmanGStefani24]

i love the look of tomorrowland at night. the neon and the strange designs make it fun to see when it gets dark.
riding BTMR at night is great too, especially when the castle is lit up. it's a great sight!

also, the fiber optics around spaceship earth at night are something i always love to see when leaving. does make me a little sad, but it's something i always make a point to see.
