Only problem is that it got down into the 30s after the sun went down last week...making AK the last park we would have wanted to be in.
I was in DW when Orlando had the biggest cold snap in I don't know how long and it was pretty brutal to be out at night. They even had to cover all of the plants because of the freeze warning!! Too cold for Disney!!! But still loved every minute!

about 4 years ago when we woke up to drive to the park we couldn't cause the windshield was covered in ice and I couldn't see out!

We were lucky enough to be there a few years ago when they had an evening EMH and the park really was very pretty at night. We loved walking around the Tree of Life and seeing it all lit up :D The park had such a different atmosphere in the dark!
Wow now you really have me excited for night time magic there my wife and I can't wait that park was where we got engaged can't wait to see it lit up!! :donald:

This is exactly what AK needs. Only being opened until 5 always seemed like such a waste to me.

All the times you've been you have never made it AK at night? I know they discontinued the EMH awhile back, but I'm surprised you never caught one on one of your trips.

You know it's kinda funny... Animal Kingdom is our least favorite Park. I do not ride Everest, too fast. I do not ride Dinosaur, hurts my neck, too jerky. I do not ride Kali River Rapids, I hate getting wet. The Triceratop spin, makes me nauseous. So with that being said, Animal Kingdom is a half day park for me that begins as early as possible, like 8am. I have probably never been there past 2pm. I don't think I have been there in two years! The last time we went there was to go on the Wild Africa Trek Tour, which was unbelievable!!!

Do you enjoy seeing the animals on the treks and safari and in the shows? I think that is one of the reasons we like the park so much. We love seeing the animals! I like the big attractions as well, but Figment doesn't ride any of them and still enjoys the park. If they have later hours maybe you could go there late in the day just to look around :D

Yes I totally agree with Amy if you love animals this is your park if you love rides this isn't your park the way disney incorporated wildlife into nearly every aspect of the park I could just walk in this park at night and be completely happy! I look at every animal viewing area there is I have and always will love nature and wildlife! :donald:
