Thinking Disney Thursdays – A Disney evening doesn’t need to be about fireworks

There are so many cool things about Disney World to see and do even without the signature fireworks displays in the parks.  The picture in this post was taken from the beach at the Beach Club Resort looking across the bay to The Boardwalk.  The gorgeous lighting and the atmosphere are fantastic – grab a pizza and sit and watch some street performers or just wander catching the sights and sounds of the evening.

Too often I think people do the fireworks at the parks and then head straight back to the hotels and crash and don’t take the opportunity to really explore and appreciate all the detail and atmosphere that Disney puts into the various areas at night.  These are things like the light up walk way tiles in Epcot, the lit fountains at the French pavilion in World Showcase or the lights on the buildings on Main Street in Magic Kingdom.

If you can find the time to slow down a bit you can see some very wonderful things.
