    When do the sign-ups for the nighttime safari open

    Hiya, Mary! Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for sharing your question with us. 

    There is so much to do at Walt Disney World, it’s no wonder why its called The Vacation Kingdom of the World. Along with all the amazing rides and shows, the tours and activities included in the Enchanting Extras Collection can really elevate your vacation, ensuring that it's magically memorable for everyone in your group.  

    Starlight Safari at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is part of the Enchanting Extras Collection, and it can be booked 60 days in advance of your arrival. Based on the dates you’ve provided, you should be able to make your reservation now (you can find the reservations page here). If you’re having any issues or have questions, you can chat with a friendly Cast Member on the Tours and Recreation line.

    I haven’t had the chance to experience Starlight Safari, but it’s definitely on my Walt Disney World must-do list. I have spent a lot of time at Animal Kingdom Lodge, though, and would highly recommend making a reservation at one of its amazing restaurants. Having dinner at Boma or a drink at Victoria Falls Lounge and then seeing over 30 species of wildlife from the back of an open-air safari vehicle sounds like an amazing night to me! 

    I hope this information is helpful, Mary, and that you have a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World and Animal Kingdom Lodge. Pop right back if you have any other vacation planning questions. Your planDisney pals are here to help!

    Magical travels!
