Sketch: Kiss Goodnight at Magic Kingdom


Have you ever been at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom at the end of an operating day? Then perhaps you have received a "Kiss Goodnight". The "Kiss Goodnight" is a wonderful selection of classic Disney music  playing (A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes, When You Wish Upon A Star, a little sampling of Zip A Dee Do Dah, etc.) accompanied by a narration about Walt Disney, and the mission of the Disney Parks. As the music & narration play the castle then goes through a changing series of lighting profiles. It usually starts playing at some point after closing and then incrementally until Main Street ("with shops open 1 hour after park closing") finally closes, sort of like a very polite, magical way of saying "go home already!". This sketch tries to capture a little bit of that magical quiet and isolation of the "Kiss Goodnight" in those times after a full day in the Magic Kingdom.
