While Tom is off on his Summer Nightastic “research” trip, we thought we would bring you a short preview of Summer Nightastic with photos from our good friend Robert Asburn of FloridaThrills.net:

Robert visited with some of the WDWNT Crew at our WDWNT Fan Meet held at the Magic Kingdom on June 6th for the offical start of Summer Nightastic

Tinker Bell Starts off the Main Street Electrical Parade and Summer Nightastic!

It’s been a while since Main Street USA has seen these sights

The Chesire Cat has been updated since he last visited WDW.

Is it time for Spectromagic?

SNFS is based on the great fireworks show Magic, Music and Mayhem held during the Pirate and Pricess Parties.

We will end this short taste of summer nightastic with a salute to all nations but mostly America. Tom will be back soon with full coverage of all the Summer Nightastic offerings from both coasts soon including Disney’s Electrical Parade, the Summer Nightastic Fireworks Spectacular and World of Color from the Disneyland Resort as well. Stay Tuned here and to Disneyland News Today as well for full coverage!
