Resort Evening Activities??

[zmissy]

So... obviously Wishes, Illuminations and Fantasmic are a must!!
But, what about evening activies that are happening at the resorts??

For example, I think I read the beach resort has an evening movie and/or campfire and the wilderness resort has a campfire.

If there are more events like this please post !

Thanks

There's an electrical water parade that is really cool- you can see it from any of the lagoon side resorts. The campgrounds, poly, contemporary, GF, etc.

AKL has story telling by the fire (weather permitting) and it's been a while since we stayed there but they used to have craft activities and stroy telling for kids. The Poly has their tiki lighting ceremony at sundown with a little sample by the main entrance of the luau show.

You can also do night-vision glasses at AKL, watch the animals out on the savannah.

Are these nighttime googles free or is there a fee?

I believe they are free.....I was just there and there was no mention of a fee but I dont know if that is just for the Villas or not.

In our DW trips, we have yet to tire of Downtown Disney. The range of restaurants, the varied shopping, the street entertainers, the people watching and just walking along shoreline can satisfy most any mood. Those are just the "free" activities (other than eating). Along with that, you have Pleasure Island and Cirque Du Soleil, etc.

First post, so I'm not sure I can receive or answer a reply.

The free boat ride from POR to DTD is really nice both day or night.
