Question What is your favorite time of day in Disney?

I was just thinking about my next trip to disney and I got to thinking. What time of day I usually think about most when I think of disney. I have to say I think about the morning hours more then any other time. So what is your favorite disney time of day?

First thing in the morning - when the parks have just opened and the lines are still short. Also, before it gets real hot.

I voted for 8-11PM. I really enjoy that time for many reasons. Watching fireworks at a park, sitting on the beach at FW and watching the water parade or sitting at a great dinner at Cali Grill or Narcoossee's with my DW. All of those things, and even a couple more, are why I love this time at WDW the best

sunset and dusk are my favorite times of day regardless where I am, but at Disney they seem even more magical. I love watching the lights come on, and the whole mood of the park changes.

I have to say that I love Disney ALL day, but I guess I like it at night the best. I love all the different lighting techniques that are used everywhere. The parks look so different at night. I enjoy riding the "outside" rides at night because it's a different experience than during the day.

I'm NOT a morning person by any stretch of the imagination but I voted for 8-11am. There is just something about the morning and the crispness of a new day walking down Main St before the crowds and the sticky weather.

There is NOTHING like walking into the Magic Kingdom at 8am, heading for the Crystal Palace for breakfast, knowing you have a whole day of fun ahead of you!!!

I love walking into MK in the early morning during the Christmas Celebrations. Main Street USA all decked out for the holidays, and the snow falling, and chill in the air, and the smells in the air. Otherwise any other time of the year, I love the evenings.

I love the morning and all the promise of another wonderful day at WDW!

I love night time in the parks also, with all the fantastic night time events! But morning - when everyone is refreshed and starting another magical day has got to be the best!

very tough to pick- love the nighttime for the lights, love the late late hours for the emptiness of EMH, but had to go with mornings.

i like to say "the only thing i like more than mornings is sleep"- tends to cause me to miss out on a lot of the joy of everyday mornings. but not at WDW- have no problem getting up early there!

Wow, those are some pretty interesting results.
It looks like most of us love the 8-11 time... I just prefer the night time.

Had to say 8-11 am, but could also say 8-11pm. The am hours are better for me due to fewer visitors, but I love the nighttime shows too!

In all reality, my favorite time of day at WDW are the hours that I am actually there!

As much as I love Disney early in the morning, I had to go with 8-11 for one reason only--WISHES.

Cool

I voted for the 4a-7a bracket. Not that I am getting up at 4 am! I love the morning when I know that I have a whole day of Disney fun ahead of me! This includes getting to the parks for the opening ceremonies of course!
That being said, I really love the parks after dark, the way that the parks are illuminated and especially the fireworks!

I voted 8:00PM-11:00PM. For me there's just a little extra magic seeing WDW at night! Also, I love the nighttime shows and fireworks!
