IPW 2015 - Orlando Day 3 - Magic Kingdom Evening Event

[SMAX]

The IPW15 opening event tonight was at Disney's Magic Kingdom. The park closed early at 6pm to prepare for the evening event at 7:30pm.

The hub is still being finished and the Walt and Mickey statue is still boxed up.

The main parts of the park were open with the exception of Frontierland and Adventureland.

The park was nicely themed for the event with food and drink stands everywhere for the guests.

How do you fancy sitting at the Mad Hatters table in front of the Tea Cups?

There were characters everywhere this evening.

Plenty of food almost everywhere you looked.

Tables where very well themed to suit the ride or areas they were in.

The food menu for the park tonight.

There was a meet and greet for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in front of the mine train.

It was my first time riding the Mine Train. So I did it twice. There were no queues for anything. I think most people were interested in the food and drink.

I thought the ride was good. I loved the way they had made the Dwarfs faces move. And the end house where Snow White danced was well done.

The PhotoPass photos were free tonight. Unfortunately I am missing a load of the ones I had taken. But these are a selection of the ones I had. Starting with Gaston and his ladies.

Mickey and Friends

Pinocchio

Jiminy Cricket and Gepetto

Rapunzel and Flynn

Baymax

Some more of the table settings around the park.

Disney certainly put on a show tonight with the extra characters around the attractions.

The tables were themed to the Haunted Mansion

Tomorrowland was amazing. One of the main entertaining areas.

Bet you have never seen white sofas around Rocket Plaza.

Or wine being freely served.

How about eating on a glowing table?

I rode on Space mountain and Buzz Lightyears Space Ranger spin while I was in the area.

Some of the food being served in Tomorrowland.

As I left Tomorrowland they were giving everyone a Made With Magic Mickey Ear light up hat. So for tonight's show there would be thousands wearing them for the full effect.

Having all the hats glowing and changing with Celebrate the Magic was a great sight.

The end of the evening was Wishes. Again synced with all the hats.

And the grand finale.

As we were leaving the park Anna, Elsa, Kristoph and Olaf waved us off.

And finally Mickey and Minnie were up in the station to say good night.

It was a very special evening and something I will always be proud to have been at. Well done and a big thank you to Walt Disney World for putting on a spectacular evening for this years IPW.

The Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs picture finally turned up on my PhotoPass.

I am so pleased they found them.

And a close up with my other woman. Sorry DW
