Disney held a special event for members of the travel industry this past Sunday and they went all out! We weren’t invited (an oversight, I’m sure), but we followed along closely on Twitter and other social media platforms and wanted to provide a recap of what we jealously watched from afar.

Disney Destinations hosted the evening portion of the days events and titled it “A Night When Fantasy Comes to Life“. Lets take a look at some of the awesome things attendees got to experience!
Food
Can you imagine unlimited access to the Grey Stuff from Be Our Guest Restaurant?!

How about an adult drink with plenty of macaroons to spare?

It looked like a very fun night for the lucky few who got to attend. From afar, it seemed like a very well run event, hopefully Disney can apply what it did at IPW 2015 to future special events at Walt Disney World!
What would you give to be able to attend A Night When Fantasy Comes to Life?
