Nice photo of Rock N Rollercoaster theBIGyowski!

We rarely stay in Hollywood Studios after hours (unless its the holidays for Osborne lights) so that's cool to see.

Thanks. It's easy to be there at night during January...when it gets dark at 5:00 PM.

Right! We did extra magic hours at Animal Kingdom one time, it was awesome. I wish I had taken some photos that night.

I was able to spend some extra magic hour time in DAK a couple of weeks ago, taking advantage of the rare night time park.

AK is a lovely park at night, we went during EMH on our last visit but it was so cold we could not stay for long. We will have to try again next year.

Here are a couple of night shots that I have posted from the last day of our most recent trip.

First off is the entrance to Tomorrowland with some of the land in the bottom of the picture

Next up is the Pinnochio float from MSEP

Finally is Pete's Dragon

That night shot of Everest is really creepy. It would make me scared to even want to go near it... let alone on it!

Thanks for the compliments everybody!

Yeah, it's just so dark all around it and all you can see is the mountain....extremely creepy. Also I am just generally creeped out by dark water (which all water is at night I guess!) so that adds to the creep factor for me in that photo.
