People gave me such an overwhelming response to the ambient light nighttime photos I took at WDW last year, I decided to take one of my digital SLRs (Nikon D70) down with me this month.
Here you go, and enjoy:
Riding up front on the Monorail
The first night we got to ride up front on the Monorail. This is about a 2 second exposure with the flash popped at the end to illuminate the kids (i.e. "Rear curtain flash sync").
Main St. After Closing
One of my favorite subjects, Main St. at MK after closing.
Main St. After Closing
More Main St. at MK after closing.
Not a Soul In Sight
OK, not a "night shot", but I thought this was pretty unique... not another person in sight on Main St. (We had a pre-opening PS at CRT.)
Calm Before The Storm
The crowds begin to gather minutes before Illuminations starts.
Start of Illuminations
This is actually the first 10 seconds of Illuminations. You can make out the trail of one of the arcing fist shots to the middle right side of the image.

Post-Illuminations Shopping
My family killed some time inside Mouse Gear while the park cleared.
Pin Central
Chasing The Lights
Another long rear curtain flash sync shot of kids (ours included) running around in response to the fiber optic lights in the concrete.
We Closed Epcot
After a long shopping stop at Mouse Gear, we stopped and had a great 30+ minute talk with a CM manager about working at WDW. When we were done, we literally were the last family out of Epcot. Therefore I had to take another "Look! No people!" photo.
Wishes and TSI
After our last Splash ride we didn't have time to run back to Main St. to watch Wishes, so we watched the show from the "short-cut" walk across from Tom Sawyer Island.

Castle Shot
From the bridge leading into Liberty Square.

From beside the "Partners" statue.
