Old Town, Friday evening
Save

Just putting the finishing touches to my itinerary and wondered what to do after Animal Kingdom closes at 5pm on Friday 4th May.

Is there much to do at Old Town in the evening (i.e. are the shops still open).

I know about the cruise they have and have looked at their website, but just wanted people's opinions.

I'm not sure whether it still happens, but the Saturday evening is the time all the old and classic cars arrive and then 'cruise' - normally live entertainment too - it's well worth going to but, like I said, that's Saturday, not Friday.

I'm pretty certain that they were still running the Friday night cruise's from Kissimmee when we were there last October. All of the shops as well as the attraction rides are open until well after the cars leave around 9.00pm.

Have a good one

Thanks to both of you.

Chinners, it looks like the Saturday cruise is the largest and longest running, but they also have a bike cruise on Thursdays and newer model cars on Fridays.

Thanks Gilders - have only ever done the Saturday one but it was very impressive - you would not believe the condition of some of those classic and hot rods! Like stepping back in time to the 50s.

Hi gilders,

Old Town is a great place to visit after the parks have closed. The car cruises take place Friday and saturday evenings. The cars start to arrive around 5pm and the car cruise down the street starts at 9pm.

The shops will be open, most stay open till around 11pm. There are quite a few fairground type rides there, ferris wheel, mini roller coaster, go karts etc, . Also there is a stage where they have live music on a weekend.

It's worth going just to see the cars. Also if you are interested Thursday night is bike night at Old Town, lots of very nice shiny Harleys to look at.

IMO there is plenty to keep you occupied. We always fit in at least one visit to Old Town while we are there.

I must learn to type slower - the letter a has just come off my keyboard - I must have hit it too hard.

Gilders,

Every Friday evening at the Kissimmee Sports Arena, there is a rodeo. It's off the beaten path, but it can be fun.

Friday evening is Bike night when all the weird and wonderful motorbikes gather. Sat for cars, don't know if any of the other nights anything is on but the shops bars etc stay open late.
