Lou... 3,118 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I know of at least one Fiend that will be at MK for the special event, anyone else?Of course I'll be there at some point too, just not sure yet if it'll be business or pleasure.WDW buses will be operating round the clock, so that should be very interesting.You don't need a special ticket.It's the first time that DL and MK have been open for 24 hours at the same time, so be part of Disney history and stop by if you can.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 You got any good info about this event?When you say bus transportation will be going for 24 hours, do you mean from 6:30 am on the 29th until 6:30 am on the 1st?What if someone wants to get to the MK entrance before 6:30 am to see the opening ceremony, for example?I have heard that there will be a passholder event at the TTC at 5:30 am. Will guests have to drive there?How about boats and monorails?TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 You got any good info about this event?All that's been published so far is that MK will be open at 6am on the 29th and close at 6am on the 1st. Then reopen at it's usual time on the 1st.I don't have anything on special events.The link below doesn't have much either. I'm thinking it's going to be like the 40th anniversary. Last minute announcements of nothing much.http://www.onemoredisneyday.com/When you say bus transportation will be going for 24 hours, do you mean from 6:30 am on the 29th until 6:30 am on the 1st?MK actually opens at 6am on the 29th, so buses have to be running early enough to get guests to MK by 6am and also to get them back to the resorts at 6am on the next day.I have heard that there will be a passholder event at the TTC at 5:30 am. Will guests have to drive there?I haven't see anything on this event, but I'm not an APholder. Did you receive something on it?As MK will open at 6am, buses should be running early enough to bring guests to any earlier events Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did you receive something on it?As MK will open at 6am, buses should be running early enough to bring guests to any earlier eventsI heard about it after the fact, but they made an offer to passholders to apply for "Leap Ears" which apparently are going to be special mouse ears for the event. They only gave away 1000 of these, and the registration got closed before most passholders heard anything about it (typical).The people who won the Leap Ears have been issued vouchers and are supposed to show up at the TTC before 5:30 to claim them.Thanks for confirming that there has not been much information published about this event.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 A little more info.There will be media activity such as radio and TV broadcasts.Entertainment is planned around the clock.A limited amount of commemorative merchandise will be available and is expected to be offered on-line for 48 hours after the event.After midnight, most attractions will stay open, with a few brief, staggered closures for routine maintenance.

Not sure there will be.Most of the WDW Magic list is the stuff that goes on every day. They've just shifted around a few locations and assigned times to the extra performances.
