In our opinion, it’s always a good time to visit a Disney park or sail on a Disney Cruise. But this week gave us five new reasons we can’t wait for our next Disney trip! Read on for exciting announcements from Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort, and Disney Cruise Line.
Rivers of Light Debuts This Month
We’ve had so much fun exploring Disney’s Animal Kingdom at night—seeing the animals of Kilimanjaro Safaris in a whole new light, dancing the night away at Harambe Wildlife Parti and Discovery Island Carnivale, and marveling over the Tree of Life awakening. Now, a brand-new nighttime experience, Rivers of Light, will join this lively lineup when it premieres on Discovery River February 17. Blending together live performers, floating sets, fountains, and more, Rivers of Light honors the magic of animals and nature. You can reserve your viewing for the brand-new show (and even make dining reservations) by visiting MyDisneyExperience.com or the My Disney Experience app.
