Animal Kingdom closed early (I want to say at 6pm) every night, but the other parks had some nights when they were open late - and Magic Kingdom had some nights they were open *really* late. On Sunday, Magic Kingdom closed earlier (maybe 7 or 8pm), but Monday night they were open until midnight or later. We when saw that the park was going to be open later some nights, we contemplated taking the kids to see the park at night including the fireworks and electrical parade. But our kids really don't cope well with staying up late and they were so tired that we knew it wouldn't be a very good idea to take them back to the park. If you noticed in the post before this, my mom was in a wheelchair; her hip and sciatic nerve give her lots of issues and all the walking was really causing her some pain. She did not want to go back to the park so she volunteered to stay with the kids so we could go back.
We all had dinner, let the kids play a little bit (run around our condo like crazy) and then we bathed them and put them to bed. After getting them to bed we headed back up to the park. It was actually really cold (for Florida) and I had wished that I had something warmer than a sweatshirt.
It was really nice to be able to be at the park without the kids. We didn't ride anything, but we got to go through the shops on Main Street without worrying about what our kids might break. We got to watch the fireworks and the electrical parade and not worry about our kids running off or fighting with each other. It was so nice.
The Christmas lights on Cinderella's castle were amazing! And the electrical parade was pretty cool too.
We stayed up way, way too late but we were glad to get a chance to enjoy the night festivities!
