Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom has a new nighttime experience! Rivers of Light Animal Kingdom is a brand new water show that combines live performances, light, and video projection to wonderfully composed music.
Rivers of Light Animal Kingdom
I was invited as media to cover this event during #DisneySMMC. All opinions are my own.
Rivers of Light is unlike any other show you’ve seen before! Watch floating pieces as they change and transform, dancing to the symphony of music. You’ll find yourself transported to Asia, Africa, and parts of North America as the live show unfolds.
Have you cameras ready as the water begins to dance and laser animation is projected on the roaring fountains. It’s truly an incredible show!
Check the park schedule for showtimes. Rivers of Light Animal Kingdom is approximately 15 minutes in length, and available for Fastpass+ selection. I highly recommend arriving early for this outdoor theater experience.
Myself, along with other Disney Social Media Moms were one of the first lucky audiences to see the show prior to its February 17, 2017 debut. These are the first images and video from that private viewing. (The music score is not the original for the show – Youtube did not allow for the Disney music due to copywrite)
If you are planning a visit to Walt Disney World, I encourage you to add Animal Kingdom’s new nighttime show; Rivers of Light to your family’s agenda. This is a must-see attraction!
