WDW at sunrise (or your favorite time of day)

[CAPTAIN HOOK]

Early morning on Main Street, Magic Kingdom - Just as the "World" is waking up. Nice and peaceful, anticipation of the day ahead.
Dusk at MK, as the lights along Main Street and the buildings light up and watching Cinderellas Castle change as it is illuminated by different coloured lights.
And finally, early morning at Port Orleans - the mist clearing off the river, the smell of the freshly watered lawns and plants and the sounds of 100's of kids running down to the bus stop makes you realise that your not going to be first into the parks today

I love watching the sunrise especially when we stay at the Poly. I love watching the early morning bustle, the guy on the four-wheeler smoothing the sand along the beaches, the auto sprinklers that are hidden from the first floor balconies; come on and go off by day break. I even ran into a cast member from the horticultoral dept, one morning about 4 a.m. and she was just searching the ground with her flashlight. I asked her if I could help her find anything and she said she had an extra tree she wanted to plant. We were checking out because there was a hurricane in the gulf and we needed to get home to secure everything. I really enjoyed chatting with her.

Gotta Agree...Mornings at WDW are always one of my favorite times. I Love to walk around Port Orleans as it wakes up. I aways get up early before my wife & kids just to take a stroll around the resort.

I love the morning, probobly because the tempature is miild and its so relaxing just to walk outside. I remember back when I was dragging my parents to go faster so we could get to the parks, now I just wake up and go by myself. The night is really cool to when your in the parks and the lights in the trees and the banners light up, It's a really cool effect.

Nice easy morning stroll around the boardwalk and then into world showcase before it opens(through the international gateway) it is nice in the uk where the band plays when there is no one else there.

i love it when you get to AK reeeealy early and the sun is coming up behind Animal Kingdom it makes me think im in the sahara!
I also agree with Loads of the people who have talked about the castle at nightfall with the different wash of colours.....you can just sit and stare while everyone lese leaves around you.....when im watching that i feel at peace with myself and i remember just how lucky i am to be experiencing it.

I love eeeaaaarly mornings at the Boardwalk or at Epcot or at MK...

I also enjoy reeeaaally late nights, when the park is closed and you are the last family to leave Alfredo's in Epcot!!! And the walk back to the Boardwalk is soooo long, but you have fun listening to the area music and watching the CMs leave the park... I love it when you feel like you have the park all to yourself!!! (especially when its like 11:30 p.m.)
