Hi all
Just wondering if anyone has ever done night of joy at MK?
This is taking place at night on Sept 8th & 9th, any info would be very helpful as i think our 15 year old DD would like it
Thanx
Audrey
the night of joy is one of the special ticket events at the MK....you have to have a special ticket to get in...(you buy a ticket for one of the nights)....
like the halloween and christmas party nights, they sell a limited number of tickets, although i don't know what the maximum is (but they do tend to sell out of them)..
It officially begins at about 7 PM, but they began letting people in much earlier than that this past year. I can't remember what time exactly. I think at something like 4 or 5 PM they were already letting Night of Joy people into the park.
If you like Christian music you'll love the event.
And i mean Christian music of all kinds (pop, rock, gospel, country, etc.)...
they have stages set up all over the park and the music is really good (even if you don't go in for the christian lyrics, you'll probably enjoy the music)...
and of course all the rides are open....
many many many many many people drive in specially for the Night of Joy (it seemed to me that Saturday was more crowded than Friday, but that may have been an illusion)....
it was really amazing to me to see.....lots of christian youth groups......lots of families who came in just for that weekend.......if nothing else, it's a very interesting view of America and Americans....
the following is from the Disney website:
