Definitely looking forward to nighttime safaris. A lot of the animals are more active at night.

Really looking forward to this. I always thought Animal Kingdom was missing out by not being opened at night. It should really be a whole new world -yes, I said that on purpose ;) - at night. More so than the other parks in my opinion.

Call me a chicken.....but nighttine, darkness and wild animals are not an idea of a fun time for me. I'm sure others might like it but I will enjoy my awesome room while they go!

Cannot wait. It sounds so adventurous. I love to be outside at night so many unexpected moments can happen. Love to see animals at night. Thanks for making this happen.
