Midnight at MK

[Gorjus]

I'm sure most of you realize this, but I just discovered this:

The castle clock chimes at Midnight to commemorate that Cinderella lost her slipper at midnight.

I like Disney details.

Well I'll join you in the crowd of "I did not know that". I have been at MK several times at midnight and I do not think I have ever taken notice before of the castle clock chiming.

I'll have to try to listen at the P&P Party in Feb.!

Thanks for that bit of info.

I did not know that either. Usually by then I have already turned into a pumpkin and am in the bed!!!:snore:

 

[Mr_Tom_Morrow]

well gee just when we all think we know everything there is to possibly know :brick:

thats pretty cool tho,that is very detailed

 

[mouselvrmom]

Does it still strike midnight even when the park is not open at midnight?

 

[beachclubfan]

Wow!! That is amazing attention to detail. I have been in MK once at around midnight, but I never noticed it.

Are you sure? How have I missed this for so many years? I guess I'll ask DW next week after she shadows there.

Shadows there? Oh wait, is she a CM following a manager around to see what their day is like?

Lol, no. She's an area manager, shadowing a duty shift at MK next week. They have to shadow duty shifts in the event they would need to pull one.

Cool - I've never been in the MK at midnight, but the first night of our next trip, it's supposed to stay open until then. I'll definitely have to listen for it.

Is that one of those "If a tree falls in the woods.." questions? :ROFLOL::ROFLOL:

 

[Escarabaja06]

WHOA cool! I'll have to check that out!

[SweetMagic]

I remember staying at the Magic Kingdom until midnight... sort of... kind of... gee, has it been that long :veryconfu


I feel really old now :snore:

Now if they *really* wanted to have some special magic for just the few Guests who happen to be in the area at the time, I could picture them having Cinderella running from the Castle as the clock chimes midnight, missing a slipper, running across the Hub and offstage, followed a few moments later by the Prince holding the other slipper running after her... (Sounds like something the CMs might arrange as an off-the-clock stunt.)

Oooo, I like that idea! That would be cool! I'd definitely stay late to see that.
