Mickeystoontown's Cheers to 40 years! 18 days, 10 park days, 2 parties and a lot of fun! Updated 4/24

The amount of money they had to spend on that Jack Skellington. Amazing looking show!

It was so good and we hadn't even seen all of Nightmare Before Christmas.

I love your outfits! They fit the theme perfectly and you both looked wonderful!
Thank you!

Thanks for sharing your experience at Jollywood. I really hope I can make it to one in the future.
Sorry the popovers weren't very warm! That would be disappointing, because they sounded like they would be a hit.
Jollywood was so fun this year! Yep, the popovers would have been so much better had they been hot.

I love that you two were willing to go up and dance with the CMs! It's something you'll always remember from that experience, and it showed other guests to live in the moment and enjoy yourselves. That experience definitely reminded me of "old school" Disney where the CMs really go out of their way to build onto the guest experience. (Not to say it's gone now, just not as prevalent in the parks.)

We really didn't want to go dance because we aren't that great at dancing but I'm glad that we did. I know exactly what you are talking about when you say "old school" Disney. Remember all the Streetmosphere performers at Hollywood Studios, I loved them!

PhotoPass pictures catch-up

I have my memory maker pictures in another folder which is why I couldn't remember what we did at some points in time. Just down from ABC Commissary, they had a small band playing and there was a picture set up as well. That's where these two pics were taken:





The next set of pictures were taken in the Sips and Soiree area and before we were asked to dance with the performers:















Picture limit reached...more in next post

PhotoPass picture catch-up continued

We wandered around the park where we took in the dance party, saw the ice skaters. met some of the rarer characters (I'll have to find those pictures.) and had a grand time. The cast members were so interactive with the guests, the guests all seemed happy and it was truly Jolly! Everywhere we went, people were complimenting us on our outfits. We aren't the dress up kinda people so it was pretty fun dressing up to the nines and getting paid compliments.
















I didn't take a lot of pictures because I had to take off my lace gloves in order to take a picture and I was doing some live Facebook videos for my business. I will have to make sure that I take more when we go in November 2025.

I'll be honest with you, the second annual Jollywood Nights was way more organized and fun than the first one. The first one was fun but we left saying "well that was a one and done", but I'm so glad that we gave it another chance because we enjoyed ourselves immensely and I believe the other guests did to. I have already started planning what we'll wear when we go in November of this year. I'll probably reuse some of what I wore in 2024 but the dress, shoes, jewelry, etc. will all be new.

By the time the party was over, we started out of the park along with tons of other folks. We were given some champagne flavorted marshmellows in a box as a souvenir. Kinda cheap souvenir and one that you won't be able to keep but I guess it's the thought that counts.

The Skyliner was not running so we had to take the bus back to Caribbean Beach. The resort is so close that we'd probably be able to walk back (not that I would ever do that or advise anyone to do that....I'm just saying it's that close) so the ride was super fast. WE made it back to our room and I took one last picture before we put up the fancy schmancy close and turned in for the night.



**Up next: Burgers and Pop Art!​

I enjoyed your party so much. Thanks for sharing.

The food sounded good, except for just being lukewarm. The drinks were refreshing too.

I love that you stopped to listen to music and got recognized for your great outfits.

The shows sounded great too.

My DD was working that night and she said it went much better than the year before.
