After Traditions, Marilou, Alexandra and I changed and went straight to Magic Kingdom. Instead of going all the way back to Disney Housing, we took the B bus to the Tickets and Transportation Center to hop on the monorail to Magic Kingdom. Unfortunately, the monorail closes a few hours every week for testing and it wasn’t in operation when we arrived, but the boat was working. As we were walking to the dock, a Cast Member approached us and asked us if she could talk to us for a little bit. Since we had nowhere to be, we agreed. She started explaining how there was a special event going on that night in the Magic Kingdom and they had a couple extra tickets so she was sent by her coordinator to make some Magical Moments. When she had seen us with our Mickey ears she thought we might be interested. All we had to do was go to Guest Relations at about 7 to get special lanyards and we would get to stay at Magic Kingdom until 2 AM and ice cream was included! It was pretty crowded at Magic Kingdom that day, but we still got to see Festival of Fantasy and ride some of the attractions like Haunted Mansion and Philarmagic. Of course we watched Celebrate the Magic and Wishes, but, for us, the real fun started after the park finally closed at midnight. In two hours, we got to ride Big Thunder Mountain three times without even getting out of the train because there was no one in line, Space Mountain twice and the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train twice; we got to meet Anna, Elsa, Cinderella, Rapunzel and Mickey and eat a Mickey bar between two rides. Needless to say, we had a blast! For those who were thinking about buying tickets to one of these events, I think it is worth it if money is not an issue for you or if you are from Florida and can’t handle the crowds anymore, but if you are saving money for your first Disney trip, I would wait and get tickets to Mickey’s not-so-scary or the Christmas Party instead. It was great to get the chance to ride the attractions with little to no wait and the free ice cream was amazing, but I don’t thing it is worth the cost.
