The TTA...(but it's really the PeopleMover folks!)

 

[DaisyNY]

We loved the Jungle Cruise at night too! Going to try thr Jingle Cruise during MVMCP this trip as well....and Big Thunder Mountain. During late evening hours my kids like to jump on it multiple times with little wait.

All the outdoor rides are great at night. Astro Orbiter was a blast and we got to see the fireworks too...

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

It's the only way we do it now. I give that tip to everyone I know, it's SO MUCh BETTER. Going into the temple part is downright mildly scary (don't want to go to far overboard LOL).

Or at the very least the temple part is creepy at night. So much better than the day time.

You have talked me into.. Jungle Cruise at night is a must, I am actually looking forward to going on it more than once now.

My picks are:

MK:

BTMR
Jungle Cruise
Haunted Mansion (the queue, especially, is much creepier at night, but the CMs really get into character after dark, too.)

DHS:

ToT
Rock n Roller coaster, bc of shorter lines

Not really much to do here after dark.

Epcot:

TT
Maelstrom

Can't really think of a third.

I've never been in AK after dark because they close so early, but Everest, Primeval Whirl, and the ride that's like Dumbo would be fun.

 

[CMDTA]

Big Thunder
Splash Mountain
Tomorrow Land Transit Authority

If you haven't done the third at night, do it now!

Haunted Mansion!

I have yet to ride the new Mine Train, and it probably is better at night, but I don't see how any attraction could ever top the HM.

I love the parks at night! There are many rides that are different under night lighting. They are not always better, but different. Lighting improves some aspects, and diminishes others. The castle is a great example. I love how it looks at night, but the daylight castle is the first view most guests see. that's often the one that sticks in one's mind.

Beyond HM, my top picks are: PotC, IaSW, Astro/A's Carpets. See WISHES! The night parade at MK blows away all the rest. (except the cute water parade, which is also at night.)


At HS, RnRC, TSM, ToT.

At Epcot, walking the WS. None of the rides really stand out, but walking the WS is special.

AK is rarely open after dark. Mostly, I've only seen it as we were basically headed out of the park. Late safari rides are good, but that's usually at like 5:30pm. EE late was pretty neat. Just walking the pathways is pretty fun.
After dark, we often eat dinner at AKL. It is hard to see the animals at night unless a CM gives you a pair of night vision goggles, but those are really fun to try!

Dumbo! And BTMR, especially during the fireworks

 

[gofordrew]

Tower of Terror is my favorite ride of any at Disney at night

 

[wendybeth75]

MK-
1. BTMRR
2. People Mover
3. Jungle cruise

Epcot
I am not sure it matters as most of the rides are inside. If you go in the winter when it gets dark early Living with the land has a different feel to it in the dark.

HS
Tower of Terror!!

I have never been to AK after dark.

BTMR & Jungle Cruise are both cool at night, but they are cool during the day as well.

For us, Astro Orbiter, Dumbo, and the Carousel are rides we only do at night. They feel special at night, but seem ordinary during the day.

My favorite ride at night, however, is one of the simplest. The PeopleMover is amazing at night and a perfect way to spend 10 minutes off your feet after a long day. It truly has a magical feel at night.

Does the Magic Kingdom Railroad continue after dark?

Does the Magic Kingdom Railroad continue after dark?

Great question! I don't know, but would love to see the park at a slow leisurely pace on the train.

 

[Missymouse18]

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.

I echo these two rides. And another one I live at night is Haunted Mansion. I know it isn't a thrill ride, but it is actually cool to go through the queue at night. Also, agree that Test Track is a fun one at night.
