I also agree that AK is completely underrated. I also disagree with everyone who says it is a half-day park. Is it a multiple-day park like MK and Epcot? Probably not. But you can easily fill one whole day there. If you have no interest in the walking trails, and some other things, that's fine. But that doesn't make it it a half-day park for all.

Sometimes it's the park that I yearn for the most when I daydream about being in WDW. I can't remember being *this* excited about a new addition/expansion as I am about AK becoming a nighttime park!

And your point is . . .

I agree with you completely.

I am also excited about the trader sams in the poly-- very glad it is not at DTD. It will keep the crowds down, and make it more of something special to do when staying on the monorail loop. A great stop for drink around the monorail. Just waiting to drink around the tree.

No they have been consistently saying 2017 they want it to be around the release of the second and third movies

Glad to see AK getting some love!

I'm with you, rrali33tt! AK is the most beautiful theme park on earth!

I agree AK is so underrated people just think there's no attractions so I won't go.

I have always thought AK was a special park. It is a place to go, learn and be inspired. It's live creatures make it unique.

I so agree

It's a 1 day park for us but we do it in two half days since the park closes so early. Plus in the past we have gone in the summer and probably my imagination but that's one hot park
