A Farewell to Camp Minnie-Mickey

Camp Minnie-Mickey closed yesterday. It's going to be demolished so an Avatar themed land can be built. I have always really enjoyed Camp Minnie-Mickey. It was one of my favorite places at Animal Kingdom. I loved watching Festival of the Lion King, meeting characters, and just relaxing there for a while.



Here are some of the characters that I loved meeting at Camp Minnie-Mickey.

October Characters

Take a look at all the characters that I met in October.

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party

I attended Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party on Thursday night. It's one of my favorite events at Disney and I've been going since 2005. My main priorities for the night were to meet as many characters as possible and watch the parade twice. I was able to meet nineteen characters and I did watch the parade twice since it's my favorite.

I was actually in the park before the party started but I never left Town Square. I decided to leave the park and come back in since I wanted to get my MNSSHP exclusive Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom card first. I had to go out, go back through bag check, and then go back in. It was a pain but it was still easier than going into the park to find a wristband distribution place and then coming back to Town Square. I picked up my Sorcerer's card, had dinner, and then went to ask about lining up for the Princesses and Princes.










I was told that we could start lining up for the Princesses and Princes around 6:30. But, around 6:00, I decided to start a line for Rapunzel's room. I just stood outside the entrance and people immediately got on line behind me. A while later, Rapunzel's line was closed, and a CM walked us into the outside queue for us to wait. Around 6:50, we were let inside to wait and we were let into meet them at 7:00.

Halloween Decorations

It may only be the beginning of September but Magic Kingdom is already decorated for Halloween. It's the same decorations that they have been using for years now. I hope they'll do something new next year. It gets kind of old seeing the same decorations always being used. I actually wouldn't mind if they kept some of the decorations and did something different with them and then put out some new ones.

 

Day Report 40 - Magic Kingdom - September 2012

I arrived at opening and watched the opening ceremony.


It was rumored that Pete's Silly Sideshow would be soft opening today but unfortunately it wasn't. I took some pictures of the newly open Big Top Souvenirs and the new area outside.

Day Report 37 - Magic Kingdom - September 2012

I arrived before opening and it started to rain as soon as I got off the ferry. I put on my poncho and waited for the park to open. Once inside, I headed to Adventureland and met Tinkerbell and Periwinkle.


I rode Pirates and then headed to Fantasyland.

Favorite Moments from 2012

I had a lot of fun at Disney World in 2012. I met lots of characters, watched numerous shows and parades, rode lots of rides, attended parties, celebrated One More Disney Day, and experienced new Fantasyland. I thought I'd share some of my favorite moments from 2012.

Meeting characters at Millennium Village at Epcot.


Valentine's Day at Epcot.


Meeting Mickey and Minnie in their pajamas during One More Disney Day.

Happy Halloween

Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Pluto are appearing at Camp Minnie-Mickey in Halloween costumes. It was nice to see Minnie in a new dress. I wish they'd get new costumes every year. I also wish they'd bring out more characters in costumes. They do it at the other parks so I don't understand why they don't do it at Disney World. The characters at Camp Minnie-Mickey will be in their costumes through Saturday.









Duffy is also in his pumpkin costume at Epcot.
