The official Disney Parks TikTok account recently posted this video, showcasing the dazzling visuals of Pandora – The World of Avatar once the sun has gone down. However, fans quickly pointed out that they rarely get to see it.
One TikTok user writes, âIf Animal Kingdom would stay open so I could visit Pandora at night more often I would.â

Itâs worth noting that in the summertime in Florida, the sun can set anywhere after 5 p.m. to past 8 p.m., making it difficult to see these beautiful lights at night in Animal Kingdom.
