After Hours

Last night we attended an “After Hours” event at Hollywood Studios with friends from Oregon. It was the first time we had been to one. For three hours after the park closed, we enjoyed several rides with limited waits and complementary sodas, ice cream, and popcorn. As a cast member, I was able to buy discounted tickets.

Our tickets let us into the park two hours before it closed, so we were able to catch Fantasmic! 

On Tuesday, we met them for lunch at Animal Kingdom, and for a ride on Flight of Passage. Then we took them to Cast Connection.

Earlier this month we spent some time shopping at Disney Springs, and met some friends for dinner at Ragland Road.

Epcot Festivals

 

Yesterday after work, Susan and I went into Epcot to check out the Flower and Garden festival. As usual the festival had some new topiaries and some returning, although some in different places. Susan also checked out some of the merchandise booths.

We also caught a set by Rick Springfield at the Garden Rocks concert series.

Last month Jennifer had a friend visiting, so Susan went with them to Epcot to check out the Festival of the Arts. I met them after work to enjoy some attractions and check the progress on the Communicore Hall.

That night, we enjoyed a ride on Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind, then headed out. The new Celebration gardens look really nice at night.
