24 Hour Disney Day: Evening Fun!

After our fun-filled morning and afternoon at the Disney Parks Blog Monstrous Meet Up, we took a little rest to save up some energy so we could make it till 6am. We arrived back at the Magic Kingdom a little before midnight this time joined by my Mom and Dad. We got there just in time to watch the new summer edition of Celebrate the Magic!




The park was a lot busier in the evening then it was earlier that morning. However, we still managed to enjoy ourselves on some rides. We took another adventure on the Jungle Cruise, rode Dumbo, Haunted Mansion and Pirates, and took in some of the Main Street Electrical Parade before heading over to the Up All Night Dance Party.

 

The Up All Night Dance Party was held in front of Cinderella's Castle at 2am and kept going strong until 5:45am!  This was one of our favorite parts of the day. It was fun to get to dance with Disney characters and fellow Disney fans as we all enjoyed being in the park at these late hours. The Dance Party also helped us keep our energy up. Here's just some of the fun:
  
 

 

Stitch is a cutie!

Mom loved dancing with the Characters!
Genie had some great dance moves!
Even though we were loving the dance party there was still so much else we could see and do! We decided to go get our picture taken with Courtney's favorite chipmunks!





By this time we were starting to lose steam so it was time for a ride on the carousel....


 ... and a little pick me up from Gaston's Tavern. We enjoyed a cinnamon roll and a special Sulley cupcake!

Of course we had to get a LeFou's Brew too! 
With our little sugar pick me up we went back to check out the dance party again which was still going strong in its last hour. Then it was time for a ride on our favorite, the People Mover, where we got to see Space Mountain with the lights on!


We then made our way back to Main Street to watch the special Kiss Goodnight to wrap up the 24 Hour Day. Mickey and Minnie came out with the rest of the characters above the train station. After a rendition of the Mickey Mouse Club song, the 24 Hour Monstrous All-Nighter was officially over! Mickey and Minnie then shared a kiss goodnight and waved goodbye from the train station as we made our way out. It was a great ending to a special, magical day.


See you real soon!
