Worth Staying for Tree of Life - Awakenings?

[cloudboy]

I am going to be in the AK for one day this weekend with my aunts and uncle, all of them are over 70, so we really wont be doing too many of the rides.

Unfortunately it looks like ROL will not be showing that night, so we would otherwise probably be heading back to the hotel for supper. Is the TOL-Awakenings show worth staying until it gets dark for?

No. It's worth checking out if you're in the park anyways, but I wouldn't hang out just for that.

I think it's personal opinion, it always draws a crowd. We enjoy seeing it.

I love siting and watching the Tree, it is an amazing event

I agree with this. It won't be worth keeping a bunch of 70 year-olds from their supper! It is cool though.

It's really lovely and enjoyable in my opinion, but in your situation, I would definitely call it an earlier day and enjoy a nice meal and resort-relaxing time with your party.

If they are 70+, dinner starts at 430-5 and ends by 530 tree of life will be after its dark

Assuming I can find early reservations somewhere it may be worth heading back to see that and Avatar at night.

Not sure if you want dinner outside of AK but you can always have dinner there then sit to watch the tree for a bit before leaving. It’s ongoing projections so sitting a while to watch it after dinner then stopping by Pandora on your way out might be nice. Assuming your family can stay that long and isn’t tired. My grandma loves to watch it and Pandora at night.

Every 70-something is of course different so it depends on the people with whom you are traveling. My mother just turned 75 and you have to pry her out of the park at night! She would much rather stay to see the park at night than leave for dinner.
