Welcome to planDisney, Jennifer!
I think Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park is the most beautiful theme park in Walt Disney World. And like the jungle, it really comes alive at night. Although there are not currently any nighttime spectaculars, there are plenty of
wonderful things happening at night. Let me highlight a few of them:
As part of the 50th Anniversary Celebration, you can experience the
Beacons of Magic in each of the four theme parks. At Disney's Animal Kingdom, the Tree of Light awakens and puts on a glorious show.
Then there is
Pandora - The World of Avatar. Step into this wonderfully immersive land in the evening and be mesmerized by the bioluminescent beauty. Pay attention to the sounds and bask in the magical ambience. It's completely different than the daytime and I'm sure you'll never want to leave.
Have you ever taken a nighttime safari? If not, you've got to experience
Kilamanjaro Safaris in the evening. The animals are more active and it really feels like you've been whisked off to the African savannah. "Adventure is out there!"
However, if you want to see a nighttime spectacular, then you can utilize the
Park Hopper Option and, after your day at Disney's Animal Kingdom, hop to Magic Kingdom Park and watch
Disney Enchantment, or EPCOT and watch
Harmoninious.
I hope that's helpful, Jennifer! Have a wild and wonderful trip!
Mike
