FW is full of activity in the evening. I don't think it is "creepy" or "scary" at all. There are many things going on at night such as, hayrides, carriage rides, campfire sing-a-long & movies, Electric Water Pageant & more. The Hoop-Dee-Doo shows are going on, Trail's End Buffet is serving dinner, Crockett's Tavern is serving pizza & drinks, & the Trading Posts are open. I think the roads are well lit with street lights and there are many people out and about. The cabin loops will be quiet with less activity but are not dark & spooky. I hope you convince your DW to give FW a try, our family LOVES FW!
