Are you a WDW night owl?

They will let you stay on alot of the rides that don't have separate loading/unloading locations for back to back rides (Test Track, Thunder Mnt, Splash Mnt, etc)

Never been allowed to loop that one, except when the ride malfunctioned.

They don't allow it, but I've always wanted to loop Pirates.

I've looped Everest as well, even thought technically they unload separately from where they load but there was probably less than 5 people waiting to board.

Count us in the gang. We are not rope drop people and much prefer to see the parks after dark. If the park is open til 2am, we are the ones sat on Dumbo going round and round and round. WE kept my DNs (6 and 8) up til 1 am last year and were on Dumbo 5 time on the trot. Could have made it 6 but the kids we demanded we went home

Yeah, they didn't let us loop Pirates even after the fourth time we got off, went back around ,and got right back on, having our own boat every time. It's like come on, no one else is gonna need this boat!

We're definitely Nighttime Disney people! The parks take on a whole new look after dark that can only be described as magical. That's not to say we don't try to rope drop to get our money's worth, but there really is just something about strolling through EPCOT: Future World or Main Street USA at night, and Tomorrowland? Way better all lit up!

One of my favorite things to do is ride Haunted Mansion or Tower of Terror right at sunset, so when we get off the rides we've gone from daylight to complete darkness. It still freaks me out a little every time.

Yup! We're on the go until the very end! Our boys (7 & 9 at the time) rode Space Mountain for the very first time at 2:30 am.

Our motto while at Disney is "Sleep is for the Weak!"

My fondest Disney memory is chasing my then 3-year old daughter back to the entrance of Space Mountain moments before midnight with her screaming "one more time Daddy" all the way.

These are my people!!


I love the parks at night, especially Magic Kingdom and EPCOT.

Has anyone tried Jungle Cruise at night? It's an amazing experience.... particularly the part where you go through the temple and it's extremely dark, something very creepy but magical about it.
I also have fond memories of being in MK at 3am during EMH in the summer, and it was still really hot

It is like a Kingdom Keepers book.

Our whole family thinks we are crazy for going to Disney in summer, but that's when the hours are best!

That's probably why I like it

Playing with characters in Fantasyland at 2:30 AM - what a trip! I was pretty much molested by Donald once around that time - it was hilarious! Excuse the astonished and wet look from a late night Splash Mountain!

Earlier this month, our arrival day coincided with a 1am park closing and evening extra magic hours, which meant at 3am closing time for us. It worked out great! My sister and crew got to their room at our resort about 9pm. We walked into the Magic Kingdom just as the Electrical Parade was starting. We followed that up with a late dinner at Pecos Bills them managed 17.5 rides between about 11:30 and 3. The half comes from Splash Mountain. We had to be retrieved from our log just above Slipping Falls. We were even lucky enough to close out the night with 3 laps on SDMT.

I LOVE night times in the parks! MK is my favourite to hit after dark. Never got to do Epcot because by the time it's night, it's time for Illuminations. We finally got to hit DHS at a night EMH yesterday and whilst we didn't get to ride TSM or TOT (didn't fancy either because we had not long had dinner and after Fantasmic EVERYONE went there and TBH it's not my favourite), we were almost the only ones on the Streets Of America and I got picked to be the Rebel Spy on Star Tours. The park's very cool all lit up!

 

[grossmansr]

YES! One of my most magical moments was riding The Magic Carpet Ride in Adventureland during Wishes when DD was 2. It's one of those memories that can still bring tears to my eyes. It was such a perfect moment in time.

 

[momimouse27]

Count us in! All my family prefer the parks at night. The lights are beautiful, the weather is great, the crowds are lighter. Everything is better at night!!

 

[Debkearsch]

Our last two trips have been at Easter, so late nights were plentiful. There is absolutely nothing better than MK at 3:00 am. The kids can ride space mountain as much as they want while I can sit back and enjoy a drink of my choice, usually coffee. Our best memories are these late nights. We are definitely not rope drop people.

 

[smitch425]

Definitely! Last year we did an MK EMH until 2am, and then we did an 8am BBB appt staying straight through MNSSHP. We require very little sleep. Lol

 

[RubySue]

Night owls here!
We're not morning people and don't do RD, but we stay until closing whether that is 9pm or 3am!
