Katie and I went to Disneyland to have fun and then stayed to help with the Disney Employee's Minnie's Moonlit Madness. They had 350 teams of 4 people each, with at least one member being a Disney employee. The teams had to be roped together the entire evening, receiving clues and completing challenges.
They ventured all over the park with some of the challenges being: doing a May Pole, dancing to swing music, figuring out national landmarks from picutres and taking letters from the names to complete a word puzzle, running the gauntlet through Star Wars characters and then tossing stuffed Ewoks into a barrel while Darth Mall's minions tried to bat them away...
There were 35 tasks spread around the park and each team had to complete 10 of them in the 2 hours alloted them. The event went from 10 - midnight.
The volunteers met in the Carnation Plaza at 7:30 and waited there for the guests to clear out of all the lands and just be on Main Street. Then we headed to the big, open area - in between Big Thunder Mountain and the Casey Jr. train - to attend the opening meeting before the games began. The first task was to answer 50 Disney trivia questions, that were next to impossible to answer! We had to leave about half way through to head to our assigned area by Inoventions. We switched and worked by Buzz Lightyear and that is how we were able to see the Star Tours extravaganza. It was a fun night, Katie and I love Disneyland, and to be there at night, have it mostly empty and be helping with games & fun just made it more magical!!!

HOW FUN!!! I love Disneyland too, especially at night with lights. Lizzy keeps telling me we need to go back to 'Fairytale Land', i.e. Disneyland, and 'oh yeah', she says, 'visit Grammy and Gramps.'
What do you mean before they start tearing it up and changing it? What are they going to do?
