Once the first press of exiting folks passes, you basically have the World Showcase to yourself. It's just an incredible vibe, with the music still playing and hardly a person in sight!

    And if you stay late enough, around 10:15 to 10:30 they do a big blowoff of the gas barge from IllumiNations - a HUGE fireball explosion! Very very cool!!

As pretty as this park is during the day, it becomes even more majestic at night.

    I also like the front half of MGM with the 30's neon lights, since they seem to bring the whole area to life. Main Street is always great with the lighted buildings, as is the World Showcase. What I like so much about most parts of WDW at night is, while they do light them, they let it get dark. You know that it's night. The darkness with all of the light radiating from the buildings (or mountains or giant trees...) brings the parks to life in a way that only Disney could do.

    It can be anywhere in WDW, so feel free to add those!!!

    I'll add another, when I was younger, we used to go to the campfire programs at Fort Wildnerness Campground. Do they still offer this? It was corny, but also a lot of fun. I remember getting to watch a private viewing of the Electrical Water Pageant from the beach of Marshmallow Marsh after we sang campfire songs and roasted marshmallows at the campfire! Lots of fun and great memories from my childhood!!!

    Lets face it I love Disney at night! Whenever I'm at WDW I'm typically up by 7 AM each day and do not get back to the room till at least 1 AM.

What was funny was that I drove to the WL and showed my room key for AL to park in the WL lot. But ONLY people staying at the AKL and people with dinner resevations can park in the AKL lot.
