Miley’s Sweet 16 Birthday Party At Disneyland
Miley Cyrus celebrated her 16th birthday party in Disneyland this past weekend even though her actual birthday is November 23rd. The park was closed for the special party. Miley sang 4 songs and the evening ended with a fantastic fireworks display above Sleeping Beauty Castle with 16 giant inflatable candles.
“Miley is really hard to surprise,” her father Billy Ray Cyrus was quoting saying.
Organizers estimated that over 5,000 people attended each paying 250 dollars a ticket. There was a purple carpet - that’s Miley’s favorite color and as she posed for pictures on it, she happily told everyone that her parents bought her a new puppy a malti-poo mix named Sophie for her birthday.
She seemed happy with the effort her parents put into the shindig:
“My parents shut down Disneyland for me, so I’m good for a while.” She also was heard saying: “This is the most amazing sweet 16 that a girl could have!”
Her dad kicked off the party by singing a few songs of his own including his hit, “Achy Breaky Heart” and Miley’s ‘friend/boyfriend’ country singer Justin Gaston played guitar and sang along with Miley’s older sister Brandi as well.
Some of the more popular attractions, such as Big Thunder Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean, remained open to partygoers. A few fun activities were also offered to the guests such as receiving a “Hannah Montana” makeover and playing the upcoming Disney Interactive Studios rhythm video game “Ultimate Band.”
The party goers were in celebrity heaven watching so many stars wandering around the park some of whom included: David Archuleta, Jennie Garth, Steve Carell, Cindy Crawford, Tyra Banks and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Disney donated 1 million dollars to charity on her behalf. The funds raised were from a combination of ticket sales and money Disney has raised. Which was nice!
