Hello DonUlecia! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
The
Rivers of Light Nighttime Experience is an inventive and original experience that is not-to-be-missed. Even my kids were awe-struck by the larger-than-life animals and epic experience.
Based on
current schedules released by Walt Disney World Resort, there is currently only 1 showing of the Rivers of Light Nighttime Experience on December 23rd, 2017. That show is scheduled to begin at 7:15pm.
With a park closing of 8pm at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park that evening, you will only have about 15 minutes of scheduled Theme Park time to enjoy after the show. However, if you are able to get in a queue for an attraction before it closes for the evening, you will be able to wait past the scheduled Theme Park closing time to experience the attraction. With that in mind, you will probably have time to get in the queue for 1 more attraction after the Rivers of Light Nighttime Experience (although you may have to rush).
Be sure to enter through the special entrance afforded to Guests with the
Rivers of Lights Dining Package when you arrive for the show.
Have a Wild Time!
