alexwyattmommy 181 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 So, do the One More Day people feel like they've been sucker punched? That 24 hour thing was supposed to be 'special' and here they are doing it again in less than 3 months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That 24 hour thing was supposed to be 'special' and here they are doing it again in less than 3 months. Not at all. Bring it on! And, OMDD was February 29, 2012, not this year.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Scary thing?? TurkeyPants (who is my SIL) and I are already trying to figure out how we can possibly come down to do this. Gotta be "on the cheap" to justify it, but hey, we'd only need a room for 1 night!

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 We'd need to fly down Thursday night to be there for 6am Friday. We'd also need ME to get to/from the airport and splitting a cheap site is less $ than booking a separate shuttle. Right now we're seriously thinking about doing this - booking a partial for 2 nights and renting tents/cots from the Fort. It would be roughing it (especially since I hate the heat), but could be a blast! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We wanted to be as close to MK as possible to cut down on travel time as we will only be there for 48 hours. I think we've officially lost our minds... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Ok, cooler (literally) heads prevailed and we are staying at POP. If we're going to kill ourselves and spend 24+ hours in the parks (probably will end up being more like 28) we might as well get a good night's sleep in a real bed and a/c the night before. I have been assured by one SFBD that the bus ride from the values is only 15 minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 some videos from the Disney Parks Blog of the transformation of DJD* to Mike Wazowski Video: Spaceship Earth Transforms from Disney Parks Icon to Disney●Pixar ‘Eye-Con’posted on April 26th, 2013 by Thomas Smith, Social Media Director, Disney Parks Last night, a giant Mike Wazowski from the upcoming Disney●Pixar film “Monsters University” helped announce our first-ever three-park, all-night party at Disney Parks on Memorial Day Weekend, the traditional start of the family travel season. Eight projectors were used to transform the huge sphere of Spaceship Earth into the beloved character for the show at Epcot. Today, we have a behind-the-scenes look at how the teams made it happen. http://youtu.be/EblHDit6pJ4 The same artists who created Mike Wazowski for the upcoming Disney●Pixar film also created the animation for our Monstrous Summer announcement at Epcot. “You have all of these great partners working together for this one moment and it’s never happened before,” said Mike Roddy, senior show writer and director for Walt Disney Creative Entertainment. “What you’re seeing is really the first time we’ve done something like this.” http://youtu.be/E0TVyBRTes4 If you missed the announcement, the three-park all-night party is happening at Magic Kingdom Park in Florida and Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park in California. The parks will stay open from 6 a.m., May 24 to 6 a.m., May 25, 2013, local time.In Florida, Magic Kingdom Park will feature a “Monsters University” theme where Mike and Sulley will be the Grand Marshals of the “Celebrate a Dream Come True” day parade and make appearances in Tomorrowland. There will be extra entertainment throughout the day and night, including characters in their pajamas in Town Square during the late night and early morning, and late-night dance parties in and around the courtyard of Cinderella Castle.In California, you’ll be able to party the night away at both parks with special entertainment including: a “Monsters University” “TLT Monstrous” Dance Club and Star Wars characters in Tomorrowland and late-night Character Pajama Party in Mickey’s Toontown at Disneyland park. The new Fantasy Faire Royal Theatre at Disneyland park will become a Royal Dance Hall late at night with a live band and dancing; and guests at Disney California Adventure park will find Monstrous photo opportunities with new “Monsters University” “dorms” in Hollywood Land and a new “Monsters University” float leading the Pixar Play Parade.All three parks will feature limited-edition specialty merchandise and food and beverage offerings, plus other surprises throughout the entire day. Keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog and the Monstrous Summer site for more details in coming weeks. http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2013/04/behind-the-scenes-of-the-monstrous-eye-nouncement-at-disney-parks/ *aka Damn Judy Dench History Extravaganza aka The Golfball aka Spaceship Earth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 More on the "MONSTROUS" fun coming to Disney Parks this summer, from the Disney Parks blog... Attend Monsters University at Disney Parks This Summerposted on April 25th, 2013 by Shawn Slater, Communications Manager, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Creative Entertainment It’s shaping up to be a Monstrous Summer at Disney Parks, with a colossal lineup of unforgettable experiences, including entertainment enhancements celebrating the newest Disney•Pixar animated feature, “Monsters University.” Mike and Sulley are dropping in from MU to scare up fun all summer long. Some of the monstrous surprises in store include all-new, collegiate settings in which to meet your favorite aspiring scarers. On the Backlot at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you’ll find the Monsters University Student Union, complete with a view of the campus. Meanwhile, when Sulley and Mike step through the door to Disney California Adventure park, you’ll find them right outside the university dorms, recreated in Hollywood Land. Also at Disney California Adventure park, Mike and Sulley show their MU spirit as they lead daily performances of the Pixar Play Parade, and at Magic Kingdom Park, you’ll chuckle along with the gang at the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor, where they’ve been studying new jokes and are ready to graduate to new comedic bits in honor of their alma mater. It may be summer vacation, but Monsters University will be in session all season at the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts! The fun starts on May 24th! http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2013/04/attend-monsters-university-at-disney-parks-this-summer/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well done, gentlemen. :golfclap: When we are trudging through hour 22 at MK and haven't completely collapsed yet... we will thank you both profusely for the fact that we at least slept in a cool bed for a while the night before.
