The highlight of our recent trip to WDW was certainly being able to spend a little time in Animal Kingdom at night. Previously, the latest we had been in the park was staying way past park closing which got barely got us in to blue hour. I know there probably aren't enough attractions to justify keeping the park open at night, but it really is beautiful with it's dimly lit paths.
This shot was solidly at night, however, and was taken just before midnight after we completed the Expedition Everest Challenge 5K and scavenger hunt. After the race I trekked back to the car to get my camera gear and tripod. Upon reentering the park, I knew this was the shot I wanted, but unfortunately, the path to Africa was closed.
Carrie found a really nice cast member and asked if we could go to the bridge to Harambe. At first his answer was no because they were cleaning in that area. I continued to shoot the Tree of Life when he came back and said he would take us to the bridge! He was very nice and talked with us the entire time and didn't ask me to rush or anything. Once I got the shot, we were on our way!
