What Is Night Of Joy?

[Alison Rogers]

???? Is it open to the general public? What does it include?

It features Christian Music Performers, I believe it is a hard-ticket event... and I think it is actually a night or two or three! Not a lot of detail, sorry...

Night of Joy is a great idea, and well executed. I was there last year 9/00 and the event was actually 2 nights, Friday and Saturday if i remember correctly. You do have to pay a seperate admission to attend,(per night) and space is limited. The tix I believe were somewhere in the $30 range, much more than E-Nights. Christian music bands perform in various areas throughout the park. One in front of the Castle, one by Splash Mountain, one in Tomorrow Land, etc...They each perform a couple times during the night. You basically get to ride the best rides in MK for an extra 3 hours while listening to live music. Shops and food places stay open. Me and my fiancee truly had a great time, and if you are a fan of Christian music I would certainly recommend going. Hope this helps.

I'll post this link to the youth site as it has the most information, but this event is not strictly for youths.

Biggest, Most Power-Packed Night of Joy Lineup Ever Features Michael W. Smith, Kirk Franklin, Jars of Clay, Jaci Velasquez
11 Acts Set For 19th annual Disney Magic Kingdom Event Sept. 7-8
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The biggest, most power-packed, most-honored lineup in Night of Joy history will feature Michael W. Smith, Kirk Franklin, Jars of Clay, Jaci Velasquez and seven other acts when Walt Disney World Resort presents its 19th annual celebration of contemporary Christian music Sept. 7-8 in the Magic Kingdom.

The entertainment lineup also includes Plus One, Salvador, Rebecca St. James, Anointed, Stacie Orrico, Rachael Lampa and Whisper Loud. Among them, the 11 acts performing during the weekend have amassed 46 Dove Awards (through 2000) and have sold more than 18 million albums. Jars of Clay scored a 2001 Grammy for If I Left The Zoo (Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album).

Kirk Franklin tops Friday lineup, Michael W. Smith heads Saturday bill
Night of Joy 2001 will feature performances by seven acts each evening:


Friday’s lineup - Kirk Franklin, Jars of Clay, Jaci Velasquez, Plus One, Stacie Orrico, Rachael Lampa and Salvador.

Saturday’s lineup - Michael W. Smith, Jars of Clay, Anointed, Plus One, Rebecca St. James, Salvador and Whisper Loud.
The special entertainment party begins each evening at 8 p.m. (after regular Magic Kingdom closing), with musical performances at stage locations throughout the park. Popular Magic Kingdom attractions also will be operating during Night of Joy hours, which continue until 1 a.m.

Six acts new to Night of Joy roster
Six of the acts, topped by Kirk Franklin, are Night of Joy newcomers. Other newcomers are Plus One, Salvador, Stacie Orrico, Rachael Lampa and Whisper Loud, bringing the all-time roster of Christian music acts who have played the Magic Kingdom event to 75 since Leon Patillo headlined the inaugural Night of Joy in September 1983.

The long-running series of Walt Disney World contemporary Christian music events has played to a combined audience of nearly 700,000.

Audiences have been treated to an astounding array of musical genres over the years at Night of Joy -- and the 2001 event is no exception. At least seven styles are represented: Urban (Kirk Franklin), Gospel (Anointed), Pop (Michael W. Smith), Teen Pop (Plus One, Jaci Velasquez, Rachael Lampa, Stacie Orrico and Whisper Loud), Rock (Rebecca St. James), Alternative (Jars of Clay), Latin (Jaci Velasquez and Salvador).

Groups of 10 or more can attend Q&A with stars, save money

Groups of 10 or more receive a complimentary ticket for each 10 purchased. In addition, they will receive special savings of $1 per ticket on all one-night tickets provided they purchase at least 10 tickets by July 1.
