I got there around 5:30 and they were started already. Sorry, I don’t have the official answer.

Currently sunset is around 5:30… so it sounds like they wait until dusk?

I have read “as soon as it’s dark enough” So maybe 10-15 minutes prior to sunset? Sunset 5:35 today

This welcome Santa parade with the dancing reindeer is hilarious. I don’t think they meant for it to be, just turned out that way. Might just be my silly sense of humor.

That’s so cute! That’s something you only see at MK during the party. That’s pretty cool! Glad you’re experiencing some magic!

Some late night adulting …
And they carded me. 
(Let me have this.)
The drink was a maple Old Fashion. It was great!
Speaking of late night adulting, let me share more with you about my experience at Oga’s. I really enjoyed it. Wasn’t crowded like it was my first visit. And I was at a tabletop instead of the bar. Right next to DJ Rex, so I could hear what he was saying and could hear the music well. Much nicer vibe than last time.
I was tipsy when I left around 8:00. The park was closed and Baatu was practically empty. Not a cast member in sight. I am directionally challenged and it was dark. I got lost, and to be honest I was scared. Felt like I was in an episode of The Mandolorian. Sobered me up real fast …

Loving this trip report!! I am dreaming of doing a Solo trip but ended up telling my 14 year old he could come with me. This will be interesting, only a little over 3 more weeks to go!

Merch Alert!! (I didn’t need any of this stuff …) 
It was me giving HS a chance. I never shop there and decided to explore more this time. They have a lot of good shops.
Always have to get the husband something …
Speaking a 50th Anniversary visit into existence.
Couldn’t resist and can’t wait ‘til spring.
Mystery Pins. Meh …
Can never have too many Disney socks.
And my most favorite of the loot …

I love the new design on the sneakers! I buy 2-3 pairs every time I go because they are my favorite sneakers ever! They are so comfortable and the heal is soft so it doesn’t need to be broken in.

This is what Disney would call a real immersive experience!

I love LOVE being in empty Studios. I was a College Program CM and the empty parks was my absolute favorite tome of day. That said, I get lost in Galaxy’s Edge during the day, it didn’t exist 13 years ago during my program. I totally get feeling scared, especially at night! Your drink sounds so yummy! Was this at Oga’s?

I thought the shoes were cute too but wasn’t sure about the comfort. They look similar to Keds, are they? I always want to like Keds but they’re usually too flat for my feet.
