Can't say for sure about WDW, but at Disneyland, smile--you're on camera pretty much everywhere you go there (and I'd imagine that the World is at least AS good in the security department). About the only exception is in a bathroom stall, so unless you're contemplating camping out on a toilet with your feet up all night, odds are very, very good you'll be shown to the door (I've passed on a couple stories regarding "Big Brother" and Disneyland around here before, but haven't really got the time right now to repeat them).

Even then, the custodial crew would probably get suspicious if you went for this tactic. The facilities at the 'land get attention every fifteen minutes.

The thought of hiding out in the Magic Kingdom overnight is one of those things any true Disney fan fantasizes about, right? Lol, it would be really cool to see all the CM's working and getting the park ready for the next day. That would be true backstage WDW!

My teacher gave us "most likely" titles and I'm the Disney obsessed so he said I was most likely to try and spend the night at Disney.

Reminds me vaguely of a series of books by Ridley Pearson??

I makes sense. I love the Kingdom Keepers and have the tendency to be the kind of monkey see-monkey do person.

I have wondered about hiding in the parks at night... The only thing holding me back is the fear of being banned from the parks, and it effecting me interning or working for disney down the road. But it's be an adventure

I also think it would be great it they had like a tour from around 2-4 am where they just showed you the people working. Maybe even on a night they were transitioning the park to or from a holiday, such as halloween or christmas. That would be exciting to see. I've also thought disney should allow, maybe as a prize to a contest or something of the sort, people to stay in the park ALL night. Just a select few, well maybe like ,I don't know, 50-90 people. That'd be a neat experience. Doubt I'd win it though!

Sidenote: LOVE LOVE LOVE the Kingdom Keepers books!!! I've read the first many time. Trying to reread the first two over the summer and get the chance to read the third one.

At Epcot my family and I walk around way pass closing hours. With people dinning they don't kick you out right away. We talk to the cleaning staff and cast members leaving for the day. Its nice to get night time pictures with out anybody in them.

On one of our trips me and my DH desided to wait for the kiss goodnight

( the offical park closing). We waited out front of the castle it was a nice thing to see, me, DH, and 2 security guards and a guy in a suit. as we waited we watched groups of CM's coming from each branch of the park flushing guest's out. we were the last out of the park that night and the guard's walked us out. but they never said a single word until the kiss good night was complete.
