Did you know that when the waterwheel on Harper’s Mill on Tom Sawyer Island was refurbished it spun too fast to look like a waterwheel from Tom Sawyer’s time? A special dampening system had to be created to slow down the wheel so that it would appear as an authentic antique mill with rusty parts.
Did you know that the statue in the courtyard of Epcot’s World Showcase Germany Pavilion is of St. George the patron saint of soldiers? Most true German villages have a statue of St. George as a symbol of protection.
Did you know that the Happy HalloWishes fireworks show during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is narrated by the same Ghost Host as the Haunted Mansion?
Did you know that on the centerpiece chandelier at Be Our Guest in Magic Kingdom there are more than 84 candles and more than 100 jewels to make it shine?
For today’s Friday favorites, I would like to share with you my pick for the best Disney World Theme Park to visit at night – Magic Kingdom. The incredible lighting and effects that can only be seen in the dark just add to the already electric feel that the Magic Kingdom offers. I also love all of the unique photo opportunities that are available only at night. Not to mention, how riding several of the attractions such as Big Thunder Mountain, Jungle Cruise, Tomorrowland Transit Authority, Splash Mountain, Astro Orbiter and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train completely changes the experience.
So there you have it…my pick for the best Disney World theme park to visit at night – Magic Kingdom!
