I've posted a new YouTube video. To really enjoy this video turn up your volume and close your eyes. This video captures what Jamaica sounds like at night. What you are hearing is a combo of frogs, bugs, and music.
I did not doctor this video in any way. I did not turn up or enhance the volume. What you hear is exactly what my camera captured.
You can view the video here.

Photo of the Week: The Imagination Pavilion at Night
The Imagination Pavilion makes me sad. It's such an impressive looking pavilion on the outside but a trashy mess on the inside. Even though the ride is an abomination they still light up this pavilion like no other. Between the pyramid and the upside down waterfall it's hard to find a better pavilion once night falls.

Theme Parks at Night: The Magic Kingdom
Few theme parks take on another life at night like the Magic Kingdom does. Not even Epcot can match the Magic Kingdom in its night time grandeur. Here are a number of things that are amazingly different at night.
Cinderella’s Castle: During the day Cinderella’s Castle is amazing. At night it’s hard to describe. It’s lighted with changing colors like green, blue, purple, and pink. In the holiday season it gets even more impressive. They hang lights to accentuate the castle on top of the flood lights they use to illuminate it.
Splash Mountain: Splash Mountain at night is amazing. You can’t see the drops as well. They tend to be shadowed and dark. A number of things are lighted causing cool shadows throughout the exterior of the ride. The biggest change is the final drop. During the day you can see the bottom or at least get a feel for it if they have fogged it up. At night they don’t just fog it they often light the fog up making the drop seem bottomless.
Big Thunder Mountain: Few rides change as much as Big Thunder Mountain does at night. The lighting is amazing but it goes beyond the lighting. There are parts of Big Thunder that you can only see at night. For example the town scene comes alive a night. I won’t give it away but as you pass it you can look into the buildings at night. It’s crazy.
The Jungle Cruise: The Jungle Cruise takes on a fun creepy feel at night. Things seem to move even though you know they don’t. There seems to be more going on at night even though you know nothing has really changed. You have to ride it to really know what I’m talking about.
Tomorrow Land: Tomorrow Land during the day is cool but there is no doubt that Tomorrow Land was build with the nighttime in mind. The neon lights are everywhere. Everything takes on a cool futuristic feel. The best way you can experience it? The Tomorrow Land Transit Authority of course. The TTA is a must do at night.
Cinderella’s Castle: During the day Cinderella’s Castle is amazing. At night it’s hard to describe. It’s lighted with changing colors like green, blue, purple, and pink.

Theme Parks at Night: Epcot
Epcot is one of the most unique theme parks I’ve ever been in. It is nothing like the Magic Kingdom. It really does stand out in a way that Animal Kingdom and DHS never could. When nighttime comes it has some truly jaw dropping sights.
1) Spaceship Earth: How could I not mention Spaceship Earth first? During the day it’s amazing. The way the monorail circles it is awesome. At night it truly rivals Cinderella’s Castle. In my opinion, it’s better. When it’s lighted in the peach, pink, and purple few manmade objects can match its beauty.
2) The Fiber Optics: During the day they are invisible. At night the walkways around Spaceship Earth light up with thousands of pin points of light. Words don’t describe it well. I’ve never seen this in any other theme park.
3) The France Pavilion: The France Pavilion during the day is nice. At night it’s amazing. From the fountains to its location by the river it’s really amazing.
4) Test Track: The end of test track is exciting during the day. Put the in dim light of night and you feel like you are moving even faster. If you scare easy, don’t forget your depends.
