Doing Things at Disney in the Dark

My favorite time at Disney is the morning. In fact, my favorite time, period, is the morning: options are open, possibilities are plentiful, and the fish are bitin'.

Others, like vampires and Carl Trent of DadsGuideToWDW, prefer the dark. To help his fellow Disney denizens of the dusk, Carl compiled today a short list of the things at Disney you'll most enjoy doing in the dark (no, he didn't go there) or watching others do in the dark (no, he didn't go there, either).

Having stayed at the Polynesian many times, I'm embarrassed to say that I never noticed the cast member "dressed in native garb" who dashes through the resort at dusk lighting the tiki torches. But Carl noticed him. It's one of the things he likes to watch as it gets dark.

Another thing is the changing color of Epcot's Spaceship Earth. And, of course, the fireworks, especially Fantasmic, perhaps followed by a stroll down the suddenly frantic BoardWalk. For dark-dwellers, the 'day' has just begun.

By that point, however, my day is down to its dregs, though courtesy of Carl the Disney darkness seems not so deep and his article is a good launching pad for those who want to plan the after-hours of their next Disney vacation.
