Rivers of Light Show at Disney Animal Kingdom

 On my recent trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom park, I had the opportunity to watch the new Rivers of Light show. It was a stunning show that celebrates the beauty of all living things.

On top of my first time seeing the show, it was also my first time experiencing Animal Kingdom at night. It was an amazing experience. There was something serene about the lights in the trees, almost as if you were visiting an exotic country.

My group also rode Expedition Everest at night and that was a whole different experience, we loved every moment of it.

We had amazing seats, sitting in the first and second rows. I do suggest using a fast pass for this show for the best possible seats. You can also get get a Rivers of Light dining package at either Tiffins or Tucker House. Included in Each Rivers of Light dining package: A meal, a non-alcoholic beverage and premium seating for Rivers of Light show. We recently dined at Tiffins and I strongly suggest taking advantage of this offer!

My Sony a6000 got its first true workout that night. I was fortunate to be surrounded by amazing photographers and after owning this camera for a year, I finally started to learn my cameras features.

The show was a story that helps us remember that we are all bound together by earth and spirit—past, present and future. It had us all captivated the entire time – what would we see next. I loved the lighting special effects on the water, starting ith clusters of lantern light, shifting and changing into animal spirit forms—the Tiger, Turtle, Elephant and Owl..

Overall, one of the best shows I’ve seen at Disney and if you are planning a trip to Disney World in the near future, definitely plan to spend an evening at Animal Kingdom! Here are two videos I captured.
