Tonight at 8pm was the first of 2 special VIP IllumiNations Dessert parties. For the last couple years, clients of MouseFanTravel have been treated to a private viewing area for Holiday IlumiNations and some wonderful desserts.
This year, MouseFanTravel had a special extra treat for everyone. I actually knew about this over a year ago and was able to KEEP THE SECRET from everyone!
Before the IllumiNations party, we all gathered at the International Gateway to receive special credentials. Soon Cast Members were leading the huge group through the doors at the World Showplace building. Something special was going on there, but not for us.

We were then taken back stage and were led through several areas until we arrived at a huge building. I”m not sure anyone realized where we were at this point…. Until Beci yelled out….
GUESS WHAT? — WE’RE GOING SOARIN!!!!!!
And cheers and applause filled the air.







After riding Soarin’, we were escorted back to the area near Rose and Crown for IllumiNations with the holiday ending and some yummy desserts!~
Thus ended a very long yet magical friday at MouseFest!
