Is there a ‘kiss goodnight’ at DL?

[wendow]

Our family tradition on the last night is to watch the kiss goodnight at MK. Tonight is last night here at DLR and we were wondering if there was one here.

Do you mean firework show?
If so the yes! the fireworks are at 9:30 nightly in the summer.
The show currently for Pixar Fest is ‘Together Forever’

No, it's a sort of subtle thing done with a voiceover and the lights that happens about a half an hour after close at MK. The castle lights up and twinkles blue and purple and then there's some narration thanking you for coming over "When You Wish Upon a Star" It only takes a couple minutes and most people are already gone at that point but it's an oddly moving way to cap off a day in Magic Kingdom.

Yes @slpeters. That is it! It’s always our last night and we shed a tear or two

I've never heard of it, but if there is, I want to know! We are ending your year of Disney (first/probably last time with AP's), and I plan to close the parks on the last night. That would be an awesome ending to a good year.

I did some googling and the question was asked here back in 2014. Poster only got one response and that was that there was not a kiss goodnight at DLR.

There’s not, sorry.

The only other time we've closed DL is when we went on Small World right before closing. DH made the kids do it for me. The park was officially closing as we were getting off. The weird part for me was that all the lights on the outside of the building were off when we got off the ride! That part of the park was empty, but I think they shut them off before closing time. I would have thought they would have at least waited until all guests were off the ride to shut off the lights. There were still people on the ride after us too! It was not very magical but funny at the same time.

Walt called the fireworks at DL his "kiss goodnight" to the park's departing guests (thus the fireworks reference above). I think the closest thing we have to MK's Kiss Goodnight is either the closing of the 24 hour parties (and who knows if those will ever happen again at DL) when the Big 5 characters, dressed in pajamas, wave at the departing guests from the Main Street train station platform or at the end of MHP when the villains, along with Mickey & Minnie and friends, dance and sing good night to the party guests from the train station.
Our castle does light up and twinkle, complete with voice over, but during Holiday Time (and not at park closing) -- look for the castle lighting moment on the entertainment schedule then.
