One of my favorite events at Walt Disney World is Night of Joy. Why? It combines tow of my favorite things, Christian music and Disney! I have been attending the event off and on since it began in 1983! For 30 of its 32 years, Night of Joy has been held at the Magic Kingdom. In 2008-2009 it moved to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. For 2016 it is moving again and so far the reaction is mixed. This fall, Night of Joy will be held at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World.

Night of Joy Walt Disney World
I’ve talked to several youth pastors, teens and young adults about the venue change and we’ve come up with a list of pros and cons with this change:

Pros:

  • More of a festival feel
  • Indoor and outdoor venues
  • Seating at venues
  • More affordable pricing

Cons:

  • No Magic Kingdom attractions
  • Less of an outreach event. Unsaved friends will come for a trip to Magic Kingdom but not to a Christian concert.
  • No Dole Whip
  • There is just something special about worshiping Jesus in front of the castle.

One youth pastor told me they won’t attend Night of Joy if it isn’t in a theme park. The kids like the mix of rides and concerts. Personally, I understand that a lot of people don’t like change and I too like attending in the theme park because you can catch a few rides with shorter than normal wait times! To help quench your need for rides Disney is offering  ticket options that include admission to 1 theme park and Night of Joy at a discounted rate.
