Another Pandora about timing of lights question :)

[KevinW]

We will be in AK next Friday and DD wants to see Pandora in the dark. Luckily sunset is 5:35pm, unluckily we have tickets to MVMCP that night. So the question is do they turn on the lights right at sunset time? Or is there a photocell that turns them on when it is "dark enough"? I am hoping due to the trees around AK, it will be "dark" before the actual sunset time, so we can see it, then head to the party thx

It'll likely be AFTER sunset before you really see the effect of the lighting, not before. Too bad you don't have another day at the parks...

I don't know the exact time the lights will turn, but I think it will be more like 6pm until it's dark out and you can see the full effect. Sunset may be at 5:35pm, but it's not completely dark until after that.

Hey, I just remembered we were in Pandora around sunset time on October 12! This pic was taken at 7:23pm and google says sunset was at 6:59pm. Light effects were on, but still not completely dark out.

Thanks! Hmm, we might need to find a small slice of time to go back to Pandora after dark on sat.
