Creator's Key Takeaways

We actually booked a room in the Garden Wing using the 40% off passholder discount, and we just got a surprise upgrade to the main concourse.

Being here is lovely. Today is July 20th, so we're actually here for the opening night of the Starlight Dream the Night Away parade, which we're so excited about.

It's cool that the Montreal, you can see it going by. Yay. fun. Spanish moss hanging in the trees. Very pretty atmosphere down here. Very relaxing, very vacation vibe.

We really enjoyed the Starlight Parade as an addition to Magic Kingdom's offerings now twice a night. It'll be happening for the foreseeable future.
