Mark Twain Fireworks #5 (Explored)
Yet another Fireworks Friday shot from almost a year ago on a grad night. The bit of blue still remaining in the sky is due to the fact that they started the show at 8:45 PM. I think Grad Nights in June have the lightest skies of the year as the shows are so near to the Summer Solstice and they can't go later than 8:45. A word of advice if you hang around for the fireworks on one of these shorter evenings: You haven't SEEN gridlock until you get a good sized crowd in Disneyland all trying to leave at the same time with all of the shops CLOSED. Usually the crowd departure is staggered as guests leave over a four hour time period, but on Grad Nights, EVERYONE leaves at exactly the same time as the entire park shuts down promptly at 9 PM. It took me roughly about an hour to get out of the park and back up through Downtown Disney. Forget about the tram lines. So....If you are headed to the park on a Grad Night this year and you want to wait for the fireworks, expect one of the longest waits of the year getting out of the park.
If you get a chance, please View Large On Black
Happy Fireworks Friday!
