Creativity never sleeps at Disney Parks and this week, Kent’s post was a perfect example of how magic happens at any time around here. How about this? Kent grabbed a disco ball and a department fog machine and headed to the Magic Kingdom Park at 4 o’clock in the morning to create the amazing image above. Keep an eye out for more of Kent’s creative images here on the Disney Parks Blog.

And while we’re talking creativity, did you see Shannon’s latest “Disneyland Resort at Dawn” video featuring the natural sounds at Grizzly River Run? She captured the calm before the excitement at the attraction. Walking around the parks before opening is still one of my favorite things to do. Check out some of our other Disneyland Resort at Dawn videos:

Comments

  • I was surprised to see that all the lights seem to be on long before opening (also the castle was fully lit) – are the parks lit all night (for maintenance crews), or did they turn on the lights especially for your videos?

    • Hi Wolfgang, the lights stay on as Cast Members work overnight at the Disneyland Resort maintaining everything from attractions to flowers.

  • Any chance in the future of having before or after hour tours of the parks?
