Rock Your Disney Side 24-Hour Part
This past Friday, I ventured over to Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World for the 24-hour Rock Your Disney Side Party. I did not have the opportunity to spend the entire day in the park, but I was able to enjoy an overnight in the park arriving about 10 PM. It was a fun evening where I met some new people, and ran into some familiar faces. All in all, the evening was fun and worth the loss of sleep. I had one real photographic mission Friday night, and that was to photograph Splash Mountain. The ride was temporarily down at this time so I named the following photo Splash-less Mountain.
Please explain what the special rates are for the DREAM for 6-5, 6-8, and 6-12 . 5A@$175 Please explain what this is?
A year ago these were the current special rates from Disney Cruise Line. 5A references that stateroom category and $175 was the per person per day fare before fees and taxes for the sailing.
