I have a family that likes to sleep! What should be a good nighttime tips and stratigies. Going next friday and all tips etc. are all welcome!

We just returned and did find the evenings to be more crowded. Here are a few of my thoughts (for what they're worth!)

Try and still grab fastpasses wherever available. They will come in handy.
Try to hit some rides during dinner time for others (if you can eat early or late).

Also, if you dont mind missing the evening parade or fireworks, depending on the park you are in, the lines are a little lighter.

At MGM, we went to the earlier showing of Fantasmic (9:00 pm) and after the show the line for RnR was very short. The 9 show was filled to capacity so if you are at MGM go to the second show (10:30 I believe) and you can probably get on TOT and RNR earlier.

We found MK to be the most crowded at night. Spectromagic and Wishes were both on for our last night so that tied up a lot of people viewing those.

We liked being out at night too. We went slower and took more in. We also liked having the sun down a little bit - helped a touch with the heat.

Have a great time!

Since you don't have to get up in the morning, grab a cold beverage, grab a seat and enjoy the stroller derby. It's one of the best show on property to just sit and enjoy the background music while watching the rest of the crowd all trying to be the first one to the monorail/tram/bus. I usually takes about an hour (in off season) to let the craziness pass you by, but it's one of the most restfull and enjoyable times of the day.

Thanks to all! One more question when do crowds clear out by normally.

For the evening EMH the first two hours or so are VERY crowded. Lightens up after that. For a regular park closing at the MK and Epcot people ususally stay until the fireworks are finished. We saw Wishes from an area around the castle last month and then just sat down for quite a while so the crowds could clear out. For the Studios it ususally starts getting quieter as Fantasmic approaches (unless it is evening EMH). The Animal Kingdom normally is quieter from late afternoon on, as long as it is not an EMH evening.
