Disney After Hours: May 19, 2016

Last month (May 19th), my lovely friend Brianna and I went to Disney World for After Hours!

We got to the park around 7pm and were able to meet some characters and ride a few rides before it got late.  We had a great time, but I must say being there after the crowds had gone was a little creepy lol.

The first time I went to Disney, with Lamar for our first anniversary, we spent the day riding everything we could, trying to make the most of every moment we were there.  So it was pretty cool to be able to just mosey about during After Hours.

I collected a few pressed pennies to add to my growing collection and almost got tricked into pressing a quarter (who the heck wants that?!?)

We spotted a hidden mickey on the way in and then got challenged to find all the hidden mickeys in one of the souvenir shops.  Of course I couldn't not accept the challenge!  When we found all the mickeys, we got a couple buttons for being victorious!

We saw Celebrate the Magic, Wishes, and Mickey's Electric Parade and I can totally understand the "Disney Spell" that seems to overtake you once you walk in the gates ^.^

We noticed that there were a couple mailboxes along Main Street and the little info box on them said they are active. So of course I had to send a post card!  I mailed a little note to Lamar... what can I say, I'm sappy like that :)

I don't know when the next time I'll be able to go to another Disney park, but I'm super glad I got to experience the Magic Kingdom for a second time (especially since it was with super Disney-head Brianna ^.^) .   The night ended with a nice cup of Wonderland tea at Brianna's house... at like 4am lol!

Here are a couple video clips from Celebrate the Magic and Wishes :) Enjoy!!!



I have a bunch of short video clips and photos from the day... maybe I'll edit them together... *shrug* Who knows :)

Oh yeah!  I got Lamar and my anniversary photobook signed by Mickey!  ...and realized that I'm a little scared of Mickey Mouse... at least the people sized one ^.^ I didn't expect that lol!

  1. Oh, oh, oh... how much fun is this??!!! So very cool. The first time I went to Disneyland as a kid, I was a little girl in 1965. Last year, my sister and I did a "stroll through Memory Lane" trip there, exactly 50 years later. It was an amazingly fun trip. And during the 60 year/diamond celebration. So very glad you got to do this. Such fun!
