After dinner, DH came with me to check in for the party, where I received my wrist band and commemorative party brochure. He was not allowed to join me as he didn't have an AP. We made plans to meet in the plaza at 10:30pm - that would give me an hour and a half at the party. I didn't want DH to have to wait around on his own for too long, although I was sure he would find something to entertain himself at DTD.
I walked in to a practically deserted Main Street. Most of those people were still 'regular' guests leaving the park for the night.
Because only Adventureland, Frontierland and New Orleans Square were open for the party, those places were still relatively crowded to start with. There was a festive atmosphere with party lights, street performers, and swing music (though I'm not sure what that had to do with Indiana Jones...).
I basically just wandered around, taking in the atmosphere. I stood and watched the band and street performers for a while, and rode a few rides.
The crowds were thinning out, and there was a special showing of F! at 11:30pm which I was sad I would miss. If DH had been with me, we would have spent the night riding rides over and over with no wait, and enjoyed that special F! I was feeling a little lost without him, and after having my fill of party atmosphere and rides, made my way to the exit to meet up with him.
I took the opportunity to get plenty of photos on the way out with no people in them!
It turned out DH had made friends with some security guards (who unfortunately weren't able to sneak him into the party lol!) and had spent the WHOLE time chatting with them. We said goodbye and I filled DH in on all the party gossip on the way back to the hotel.
