Look at me I'm at Bat's Day number 7!

This last Sunday was Bat's Day in the Fun Park (AKA Goth day at Disneyland). This is by far my favorite day of the year to go to Disneyland. What makes the Bat's Day event so great is that it offers two services. The first is that you get to meet some of the most friendliest, nicest, best dressed people with similar likes and dislikes as you. The second is that Bat's Day demolishes all the stereotypes that people have about "Goths". At Bat's Day it is not uncommon to see and meet entire families of goths who supprisingly to most of the Disneyland guests are not depressed antisocial criminals who sacrifice cats on the next full moon. But instead a group of people who have extremely high moral character and quite possibly have a higher respect for the Disneyland resort (and the Disney lifestyle) than your average American.


The mid-day castle meet

Bat's Day is usually spit into 3 picture meets. The first is the castle meet at around 1:45 where everyone crowds around the castle forcort and our picture is taken as one large group. The only problem with this meet is that at that time of the day the forcorut area is extremely hot this time of the year and we are all dressed in black. The second meet is the Baby Bat's photo. This photo is when all the kinder-goths and there parents gather at the Sword in the Stone ceremony in Fantisyland. The Baby Bat's photo shoot is the cutest thing you will ever see. Then the last gathering is the 8:00 pm photo at the Haunted Mansion. This is the big one where everyone gets in line for the Mansion and groups of 25 are arranged on the stairs of the Mansion where there photos are taken. This can take some time as there is usually over 1500 goths that show up for this photo. There is no accurate number of how many people show up for Bat's Day because not everyone is able to show up for all the photo meets (parents with little children who live in the area rarely make it to the Mansion photo, it's past their sleepy time) but it is and incredible number that show up through out the day.


Cheer on the Wicked Queen - This is an unofficial meet where many of the Bat's Day attendees show up for the 11:45 Snow White musical and cheer on the Wicked Queen, it is all in good fun.


Thanks Noah for such an incediable event
