Good Bye Kiss at MK.

[gottaluvtink]

I keep hearing things about the Goodbye Kiss. I have pretty much done everything at MK, but never this. Heading down in 19 days, and think I want to do this. I have heard conflicting things. Is it in front of the castle, or at the Main Entrance?

[DonaldDuck1117]

It is the castle. It will light up, change colors a bit, music comes on over the PA and a little monologue is read about Walt Disney. Sometimes they do it more than once a night but that's usually during peak times.

[Main Street Jim]

It's actually called the "Kiss Goodnight".

It's a small(er) light show *on* the Castle, along with the "Thank You for coming" announcement(s). You'll be able to see/hear it from anywhere along Main Street, USA We're usually somewhere near Casey's/Ice Cream Parlor winding down for the night before heading out of the park.

We always sit on the benches around the hub to wait for the crowds and have watched this a few times. Kind of special because nobody is around and you feel like it's your own private show.

Enjoy....

We have never seen it either. Is this something that is played as the park is closing? Guess we willl have to hang around so that we can see it at leat once. Will be there in 15 days!!!Woooohoooo!!

The first time we saw it, it was just a fluke since we were hanging around waiting for crowds to clear.

It is kinda neat, the castle changes colour and there is a recorded message. Sometimes though, we feel like it is saying "you've had fun, now get out and go home".

Usually *after* the park officially "closes" for the day, about 15, 30, and 45 minutes after.

...and *only* at MK.

EPCOT has their "Inferno barge burn-off" about an hour after the park closes.

Same place we sit. Always like to close the park so to speak. Of course ive never been up in time for opening ceremony. Maybe ill try that next time.

Weve never seen that. Will give that a look on next trip. Is it still ok to linger in world showcase after closing time?

I have always wanted to be one of the very last people to leave MK one night.

The first time we saw the Kiss Goodnight we were eating at Ohana's and had a view of the castle. It was neat to watch the colors change. We didn't know then that there was the thank you announcement or that the lights had a name.

Another trip we were relaxing at Casey's after the fireworks while the crowds left and got to hear the announcement as well.

Another cool thing about WDW that isn't a ride.

We were in between Future World and World Showcase (the "plaza", I guess) near the two gift shops when we saw it, and it was like 10-10:15pm or so when it went off.
