WHen I worked during the Night of Joys back in 2001, they were the worst nights I ever worked!! There were so many messes, and believe it or not, the rowdiest kids I ever had to deal with were these nights. Some of the situations I had to "break up" were rediculous!!! I did enjo the music in the park at least...Micheal W. Smith(I think thats his name) was great, and Jars of Clay.

laugh funny you mention situations..... there was a church group that had a yelling match that almost ended up in a fist fight. the "f" word was used consistantly, i was disappointed in the adult that verbally yelled back instead of restraining herself. i was impressed by the Disney Cast that came quick and attempted to move the people(the ones yelling) away from the central area of Fantasyland as well as stop the situation. kudo's to the cast of WDW.

Well it’s the last day. I’ve visited all the parks in a whirlwind even though I told myself I wouldn’t. Today we have all morning to choose a park, enjoy, then around 4 p.m. we head to the Magic Kingdom for the last Night of Joy. This night there are not as many acts I want to see so we are going to enjoy rides! I always end my trip at the Magic Kingdom.

We spent the morning at the Magic Kingdom on Tom Sawyers Island and then Lunch in Epcot with a return to the Magic Kingdom….

Approaching the Magic Kingdom the excitement is still there just a bit sadder as time seems to move rapidly.

Getting closer I saw the chance to get the monorail with the train station and the castle! Love this pic! Looks like the Monorail is pulling into the station.

Image

Stepping into the Magic Kingdom for the last time this year I try to capture some shots that I normally wouldn’t take. The Station, Town Hall, Fire Station…

Heading to Adventureland I snapped a picture of Concord Bridge (entrance to Liberty Square)

Image

after shooting this picture I realized I hardly have any pictures of the Castle from that direction. Problem fixed.

The last day at Disney World is always like Christmas day….too fast, yet so filled with great memories (feel free to insert comments like “you obviously don’t know my familyâ€
