I had the privilege of being here this year for New Years Eve- I have never in my life seen anything so beautiful as the fireworks they did at MK! I knew it was going to be an amazing night when we were going around the fort in the early evening- it just had a feeling of being "alive"... We've been here 10 days, and there was definitely a different feeling in the air. People honking horns...kids playing.....lots of hats and streamers on the golf carts.....everyone saying Happy New Year! We went down to the beach with our golf cart around 11pm, and it was simply amazing- I felt like we were in New Yorks Times Square! 
They had people directing golf cart parking everywhere! We ended up so far from normal parking it was hilarious! And ok, because we just cut across to the far end of the beach, so it wasn't too bad walking... But the BEACH!!! People were wall to wall- music playing- people dancing and blowing their noise makers 
-- for a MN country girl, it was a sight to see!
And the fireworks- words simply can't describe them. I tried to take pictures, but my camera isn't that good at it. Instead of just having them over the castle area, they did identical fireworks over a little ways- almost looks like they were setting them off from the old waterpark down from the beach a little ways... They were just breathtaking. I will never see something like that again, and I am so glad I got the chance to see it last night!
So for now- Happy New Year to all my Fort friends! I hope this is the beginning of an amazing new year to all of you! We have 4 more days here- what an amazing way to start 2014 for us!
