Monday morning, Susan got to take a special behind the scenes tour of Flight of Passage at Animal Kingdom.
Yesterday afternoon, Susan, Jenn, and I went to Magic Kingdom, mostly to watch the Starlight Parade, the new night parade that debuted last summer. Recently, Disney started repainting the castle. It’s going back to a blue grey from the pink, deep blue, and gold that they painted it for the 50th celebration.
We had dinner at the Diamond Horseshoe Saloon, which is currently running a great discount for cast members. It had been at least a decade since we had eaten there, and then it just had simple meals. Now it has the same menu as the Liberty Tree Tavern next door, mostly Thanksgiving food served family style.
After dinner we did a couple of rides, including the Peoplemover. I wanted to see how the refurbishment of Buzz Lightyear was progressing, but we got to see Space Mountain with the lights on.
Guests started lining up around the hub and Main Street an hour before the parade started, so we ended up watching it in front of Emporium near the Fire Station. It’s a fairly good parade, with nine floats - Blue Fairy, Wish, Encanto, Frozen, Princesses, Coco, Moana, Peter Pan, and Mickey and friends.
