Originally Posted By FerretAfros The most memorable WDW sunsets I've seen have been at World Showcase Lagoon. It helps that it's one of the longest east-west vistas in WDW, and that I'm typically there in the evening. I'm even not-so-secretly a fan of the design of the Swan and Dolphin (in all their hideousness), so I like seeing their silhouettes against the sky On my last trip, we were at Lights, Motors, Action! right around sunset, and it was interesting to see the cars driving in and out of the shadows (though not nearly as spectacular as when I've seen them do the whole show in the rain), but the view of the sunset itself was pretty terrible, since it was directly behind the viewing area. Still, it was nice to not be blinded by the sun as it went down Since I'm usually running a race while I'm down there, I'm partial to the sunrises over WDW. One of my favorite moments (depending on your pace) during the marathon is after exiting the Animal Kingdom parking lot, you head east on Osceola Parkway straight into the sunrise. It's just like the Circle of Life, but not quite as scenic and a lot more exhausting

Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub I guess I will have to check out these sunsets soon. Anybody planning to be there April 9-14? My last night will be staying at the Bay Lake Tower so I will see a sunset and fireworks from the Top of the World. My favorite...
