Leap Day at Disneyland - Page 2

I'm not sure if they'll let you back in. See my story above. At some point during the night, they stopped admitting people. And there were tons of people waiting outside the gates (to be taunted by us) waiting for the Park to open at it's regular operating hours.

I suppose a handstamp might do the trick, or this might not be the policy at all this time. But just thought I'd mention it, just in case.

What are the chances of a full house and a closing of the gates?

On a Wednesday in February? Even for a special event I'd say slim-to-none.

Yeah, but was that midnight? 2AM? 4AM? I could see myself dragging my butt there at 4AM for a couple hours of goofy fun.

The Disneyland calendar lists park hours on the 29th as 6AM to 6AM. Then on March First opening at 10 AM. So I'd "assume" you can get in until 6?

Ah, that's interesting. And different from other overnights - where they did not close the Park at all (at 6am or otherwise) and simply let you stay right into the "next" operating day if you wanted.

I have no idea when, on those overnights, they closed the entry gates. I only know that the one time I went out there in the morning, the gates were closed and their were people lined up till official "new" opening.

But yeah, the posting of 6am to 6am leads me to believe you would be able to enter the Park until 5:59 a.m. Good news.

Not sure yet, because I have to check what's happening at work first. Usually the month's end is our crunch period, so I might not be able to take off. I hope so though!

Rumor has it that Fantasmic is coming back for Leap Day. Woot. I was hoping to get a glimpse of Murphy.

I'm re-thinking this whole thing. One: I have to do my company's billing on the first - they will not give me the day off; I'd have to call in sick.

Two: Who am I kidding thinking, at my age, I'll be able to stay up all night??

Maybe I'll come and hang out till two in the morning or so. Just dunno at this point. I'm old.

Can't you take drugs for that?
