Fastpass to History ~ Mickey's Other Party
Hello FastPass to History Blog Hoppers!
Thank you Frontierland Station for hosting this blog hop!
As Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party wraps up, I would like to take the time to look back and remember two other hard ticketed events that have gone the way of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
Think evening Extra Magic Hours, for a fee, but capped out at 5,000 guests.
Highlights included Disney's Enchanted Adventure Parade, an evening variation of the Dream Along with Mickey stage show and an evening fireworks show, Magic, Music and Mayhem.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although these may have gone by the wayside, Disney keeps moving forward. In light of the new nighttime spectacular at Animal Kingdom announced during D23 Expo in Japan, it's clear that there is always new magic around the bend.
So let's play armchair Imagineer for a minute.
What movie or theme would you like to see become a major hard-ticket nighttime event? How would you theme it? When would it be?

E-Ride Nights
From 1997-2004, this hard ticket event, available for purchase by resort guests offered an additional three hours in the Magic Kingdom "after hours." Replaced by evening Extra Magic Hours, this offered an experience of many of the most popular rides while getting to experience a much roomier park.Think evening Extra Magic Hours, for a fee, but capped out at 5,000 guests.
Disney's Pirate and Princess Party
Offered on varying dates between January and June starting during 2007, this party featured an emphasis on classic Disney princesses and Pirate of the Caribbean. In 2008, it underwent a rename as Mickey's Pirate and Princess Party, but after 2009, sadly disappeared.

This was a great party as well, but we are looking forward to some of the night time experiences coming our way at Animal Kingdom. Thanks for sharing the history!
ReplyDeleteI love armchair imagineering! Although, I'm not sure what I would do for another nighttime party...possibly just bring back the Pirate & Princess party. I think Disney had a great idea with that! Thanks for linking up!
