One More Disney Day
 

Leap Year 2012 Brings 'One More Disney Day' to Disney Parks

Same here will all depend if I have the next day off then I just might head there after work on the 29th lol

I did this for the 25th, and I confess it's kind of tempting as an opportunity to ride every attraction in the park. Of course I'd feel guilty doing that without Flubber & Techie7

Need. AP. Now.

There's gotta be someone out there nutty enough to attempt hitting both in the same day. Start in FL, skip out, catch a flight, end in CA :)

Then the debate is renewed about the correct order

The reverse chronology was selected to avoid premier closures in the last attempt. I'm guessing chronological would be best for this one as the newer attractions more likely to be run after midnight. Need to have Tom Sawyer island and canoes completed by dusk.

Hummm.....

Virgin America
Leave MCO 6:45p, Arrive LAX 9:30pm, hit Disneyland by 10:15pm...

Who wants to play? Flippy? I'll spring for the room at DLR.

Moonie: you might wanna consider flying into SNA instead of LAX

No direct flights and a stopover would be longer than the commute from LAX.

Charter a plane

No blackouts at all that day

Link for So Cal Select blackout dates shows no blackouts (and if this one isn't blocked out, then So Cal and Deluxe aren't blocked out either)

I gotta say, I'm getting intrigued by the Six Disney Parks in One Day concept.

If the Lot'ers do the "every attraction" in the park run how late would that go? Would I be able to join up with you all at DLR resort around 10pm'ish or would things be pretty much over by then?

Or meeting up in Florida is always an option.... :D

I don't think Florida is an option. Like I said IF I am off work the next day I may consider going after I get off work later afternoon early evening at the earliest. It just all depends but I can't go from park opening at 6am until park closing 24 hours later just inpossible

I'll have to go back and check the timestamps on the photos we took that day, but I guess much will depend on whether or not we add a DCA bonus round into the mix.

The 29th is a Wednesday but I could be persuaded to take a vacation day for an epic adventure.

I would need to take Thursday off as well: I don't think I could function after staying up all night like I could in younger days.

Six parks in one day? I don't think you could make it to Paris and Hong Kong in one day, as well as California and Florida! ;)


Oh, you mean 2 in CA and 4 in FL. That would be a little easier, I suppose. But not as much fun! :)

I could never take both days after. But maybe the day after so I could do the all nighter. I really don't care about the attraction challenge. Just that the last time Disneyland was open all night was for the opening of Captain EO, before that the opening of Star Tours, then back to 1985 for the 30th Birthday and five years previous for the 25th. I'm not aware of any other times the Park's been open round the clock - so this will be the 5th - and since I've been at every one of them, I don't intend to miss it.

Are we really doing this?

I'm in

I'm in.

It is a Wednesday...

You don't say ;)

Does that mean you are in?

-----

Are we looking at 6am Wed - 6am Thurs?
Is Disneyland closing from 6am - 8am on Thursday?

Argh. Our passes expire in a couple weeks and we were planning on holding off on renewal until Radiator Springs is open.

If our financial situation improves, I'll be in for at least some of this. (In other words, if I have an AP by then...)

So no takers on Six Parks in one day? It would be an epic of epic epicness.

Maybe. Maybe very much. If I could go take a nap in one of those newly refurbished Disneyland Hotel rooms (and maybe slide down the Monorail slide & take in the jacuzzi), I could see myself able to survive and show up to my farmer's market the next day.

Details are yet to emerge. Here's Al to tell us more -

What sort of trouble is my husband getting me into here?

The best kind. Jingles awaits.

Ok, if I can't get anyone to join me on the Batsh1t crazy plan, I'll happily join the just plain crazy group. It will be my 50th birthday present to myself a little early.

I've always wanted to try the Grand Californian, so I'd like to get a room there. Would anyone know of any special discounts on the room and/or a park hopper pass I could take advantage of?

From the Disney website:

So, can I take a nap break in your room? And will you consider the allegedly larger rooms in the beautifully refurbished DL Hotel? And can I use your pool privileges? I'll bring cheese... :D

You are aware that only two parks are open all night long, right? (Disneyland and the Tragic Kingdom)

Yes, I am.

Yeah, that was directed at Moonie.

I would come in early on the 28th, and checkout on the second so I have a place to sleep on tuesday and crash on thursday. So yes, I am up with the plan.


and of course the chances of me making the full 24hours are slim to start with........

Pool? february? Sorry, that just does not compute.

It does in SoCal! :D

It's 82 right now.

To clarify, when suggesting the Batsh1t crazy plan, no I was not aware of that. It would have made the six park challenge more err challenging.

However before switching to the just crazy plan, yes I had grokked that only Disneyland park is open all night.

I am frantically entering the sweepstakes in the hopes of winning a trip for after Carsland opens, but our budget sadly does not allow for 24 hour Disney frivolity at the moment. My cheese is incredibly sad.

Here's the link to the page with the sweepstakes: http://disney.go.com/memories/

Woot.

I made my plane reservations for the trip well before the airline prices jumped. Yes sir, that's $20 still in my pocket. Daddy is gonna party!

I'll be in early Tuesday evening for a good nights sleep*, and be at the gates bright and early on Wednesday.


(* ok, that's crap I'll be at the park or haunting DTD until they roll up the sidewalks before grabbing a few hours rest and being at the gates blurry eyed early on Wednesday)

WOOHOO!

I guess I should put in a vacation request. Now, to just take the 29th off or the 1st as well.

OMG Moonie, you're actually doing it? WTG!

I've put in for the day but it'll be a last minute thing if I can do it. It falls on a huge deadline we have at work so it'll just depend.

They haven't posted the hours for the parks yet for that week, but the week before, the mid-week regular hours are 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. for Disneyland and 10:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. for DCA.

Which begs the question, is anyone foolish enough to want to meet up for dinner Tuesday evening?

Yup. I'm all booked. It should be one hell of a trip.

Party Tuesday night.
Party all day and all night Wednesday
Red-eye flight home on Thursday
Back to work on Friday.

What could go wrong with that?

I'm in

What the hell. I'll come by after work, go home and sleep for a few hours then come back.

Which night are they open all night on? Tuesday the 28th to Wednesday the 29th? If so, I can meet up for dinner Tuesday - since I'm planning to stay up all night (somehow) and skip work the next day - claiming it doesn't exist.

Wednesday-into-Thursday.

From the website:

From the OP:
For the calendar challenged, February 29 is Wednesday

I wonder how select the attractions and services will be. Will the nap area train be closed?

I was planning on napping on Matterhorn

Yeah, "select attractions" is a bullsh!t marker. I may skip this.


There was not a single solitary attraction not operating for any of the previous 4 overnights.

So this is essentially an extra Grad Night that adults can attend without being pervy?

I guess Kevin can't go.

Get out of my mind, BTD!

Indy wasnt running on the 25th

I guess I'll have to ask for the day off.

Self, can I have the 29th off?

You might also want to ask off for the 1st ;)

Hey, come to think of it, neither was Buzz Lightyear. ;)

Aww crap. I'm gonna get shellacked when I play Buzz Lightyear with all y'all.

I'm trying to convince the husband to let me come down and play with you all!

It's easy! No Mickey no........

Not with me, I generally just try to fire into the eyes of other players so my scores tend to be low.

I'm washing my hair that night. :p

Ahh, so I'm going to get blinded first and then shellacked. I guess my only hope is a ride-stop just as I come out of the tunnel.

So what's the plan?

Who is in? Who is out? Rope drop, work, return, see the sunrise and pass out or all day for 24 hours?

Is there a list of open attractions or Disney plans yet?

If by some miracle we get our APs by then, I'm in for at least part of it (to the extent Peanut will tolerate it)

.

You should be well versed in operating on long hours and no sleep by now!

Matterhorn won't be open (refurb until June)
