Top 3 attractions at the Parks at Night

[B.B. Sots]

Hey All: for the first time since we have been going to WDW, all my children will be old enough to close out the parks at night. I am trying to compile a list of the 'Must do' attractions list (top 3) that we would need to do at night per Park.

The group ranges will range in age from 9 - 16 (all are tall enough to ride all attractions) and are not fearful of any thrill ride/Roller Coaster.

So the question: What are the top 3 attractions you would do at night in each park and Why?

Thanks in Advance!

Jungle Cruise, Big Thunder, Mine Train.

Really, any outdoor ride.

Jungle cruise at MK is so much more fun at night. It gives it a better setting at night. Especially going by the ruins and trader Sam.

Thunder mountain is also great at night the way it is lit.

And actually Dumbo is fun at night too. Again I think it has to do with the lights.

At Epcot, test track is pretty good at night. Feels like you are going even faster.

And at dhs, I'd say tower of terror.

I agree with all of these! And I will add that BTMR during wishes is fun too. There is usually a 5 min or line less when we have gone because everyone is at the castle, so we were able to ride it 2-3 times and see the fireworks!

I've never done Expedition Everest at nite but bet it would be awesome

 

[B.B. Sots]

Awesome: So Jungle Cruise and BTMR seem to everyone's pick.. The other parks seem to be limited on Thirills that take on a different persona at night... Which I find interesting.

Dumbo, BTMR, and probably the Mine Train (haven't personally experienced that one yet)

Really- everything is gorgeous at night.

I never thought about riding the Jungle Cruise at night. So glad I saw this thread.

 

[Drusilla]

Haunted Mansion of course

It is! It's my favorite one to do at night, followed closely by Thunder Mountain and Astro Orbiters. Jungle Cruise is also pretty cool at night.

The only park that we like to hit for night rides is MK. Our favorites are Big Thunder, Jungle Cruise (it's very different at night than during the day; we love it at night), and Dumbo.

Completely agree with all of those mentioned above. I'll add AO, TT, and ToT to the list.

Also, I'm going to be a bit unconventional and pick an indoor ride: Space Mountain. Stay with me here. While it is identical at night, for whatever reason, there's something cooler about it at night. Maybe, it's the energy of the "late crowd" but at night, there's just an added excitement or something. In fact, all of Tomorrowland is awesome at night! Probably my favorite spot to hang out at night in any of the parks; so high energy and exciting!

How funny....I thought it was just me! We enjoy Space at the very end of the night for that exact reason! And I also agree with all the others posted, and I'd add the Magic Carpets--that might actually be my nighttime fave . One of these days we'll get to do Everest at night...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Splash Mountain at night! It has one of my favorite (short but awesome) view of the castle lit up at night!

 

[harrowgirl]

All of the above, including mine train. It is actually much easier to see details in the cottage at night than during the day.

Jungle Cruise
Thunder Mt RR
Haunted Mansion-yes, it's an indoor ride, but I love riding it at night!

This is Awesome.. I can see the point on Space mountain.. plus not having to have the eyes adjust would make it even better.

I will have to try the Mine train at night... that sounds exciting.

EE at night.. I can see how that would be exciting.

What about primeval whirl?

We love Astro Orbitor during Wishes and if you are lucky enough for it to time just right, Tink comes right at you ! SO bummed it will be under refurb when we go. I also agree on BTMRR, Jungle Cruise and Test Track

 

[jemlover]

I like to ride TTA at night. You can look out over all the neon in Tomorrowland. Very pretty.

Love Splash and Big Thunder at night!
