I just read in the Washington Post the DL and MK will be open from 6am 2/29 - 6am 3/1.
I'm so excited that I booked my hotel room before I posted this, just in case anyone else likes the idea.

Just got my email. WOW, a vacation a day for either DL or WDW, 5 days/4 nights. From Jan. 1 to Feb. 29.
just be sure to read the details. the drawings are held once per week - but based on each days entries. and the vacation has to be taken when Disney tells you.

True, the vacation must be taken between June 6, 2012 to June 2013. Something like that, and I believe there are select dates you can choose from.
Alos, I heard the TV spot mention selected attractions will be open overnight. Which I take to mean there is nopossiblereasonable way to keep everything running without maintaining & cleaning the park when its closes for the night.
Either way, it sounds like a fun promotion and I hope some Padder wins.
I think we've lost our minds. We're planning to do the 24 hour thing, just because.
Please don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine.
Oh I cry a bit, I don't sleep too good, but I'm fine

This would make for a good Walking Dead episode. It'll be interesting to see how many people, adults and kids alike, struggling to stay awake.
It would be nice at the very end, maybe the last hour. Turn off all the music loops and be able to watch the sun come up in silence.
I read it as:
One More Disney Day
Ever feel like a day at the Magic Kingdom Park or Disneyland Park ends all too soon? This year, both Parks will let Guests experience a day that continues on through the night and into the next morning! On Leap Day, February 29, 2011, for the first time there will a bi-coastal all-night extravaganza at both of these beloved Disney Parks. Guests will be able to visit the Magic Kingdom or Disneyland Park from 6 a.m. that morning through 6 a.m. on March 1 – a day that should be long enough for even the most devoted Disney die-hards to ride, eat, shop, and laugh to their hearts' contents.
While Disneyland Park was open around the clock on one previous occasion, to celebrate the opening of Star Tours way back in 1987, this is the first time that Parks at both Resorts have stayed open 24 hours. Go ghost-hunting in the Haunted Mansion at midnight or watch the sun come up over Big Thunder Mountain – there will be time enough for all the Disney discoveries you've dreamed of (and for a nice nap when the day ends at last).
There's no special additional admission charge or special ticket for this very special event – any ticket good for one-day admission will do, including Magic Your Way one-day and multi-day theme park tickets, and annual or seasonal passes. It's Disney special thank-you to Guests, and a chance to indulge in a memory-making marathon.
And that was taken from my email I received.
Huh. I don't remember the Star Tours thing, but that wasn't the first (or only) round-the-clock day at Disneyland Park. Disneyland was open for 25 hours for its 25th Birthday in 1980! I recall spending a fair amount of that 25 hours huddled in pain in the nurses station, but it felt like it barely made a dent in the time I spent at the park.

I just came across a newspaper ad from Coos Bay, Oregon. Dated May 13, 1977
it shows the outside of Space Mtn. copy at bottom reads
"The most incredible attraction in 22 years. It could only happen at Disneyland
smaller print below
Open every day thru Sept. 18. May 22, 9am to 7pm, May 23-27, 10am to 7pm, May 28 & 29, 9am to 1am
Wow, I can't wait to go that night. I wonder if there are any stipulations or if you can just go to Disney anytime you want within those 24 hours. Like say at 1am that morning?
Well this explains why hotel prices went up so much the first weekend in March. I booked Desert Inn from March 3rd to the 8th for $69the a night
Ooops. I was typing this on my phone this morning when we hit a bump and I must have posted, thought I cancelled it. Thanks for not pointing out it was a crazy post all!
What I was trying to say is that I booked Desert Inn for $69 per night a few weeks ago and I go in and check rates every once in a while after I book, it has jumped up to $99 per night as of either Sunday or Monday night. I'm thinking they are expecting people to stay through the weekend. That's a pretty big jump in just a week or so. I told my husband that he should expect higher crowds then he is used to the 3rd and 4th for people that make a week vacation out of it. I sort of wish I would have known about it before I booked!

I was just wondering if theres a record for a guest being inside Disneyland. Officially.
I do the same thing, and we are the next week at Desert Inn. We are doing the 5th-9th for $59/nt, but I wanted to add Friday and the website is telling me no availability. I am considering calling for the extra night... or maybe I need to just take it as a sign to save my $$ and head home on Friday
Always planning our next Disneyland vacation
Well as much as I hate to admit it, the last time I was up all night was Grad night at DLR.
19**, so I probably should go again. Although if I don't make it, I'll be there in spirit w/
you all for the meet up at 0200. Looking forward to spending some time there on the 29th.
One of my FONDEST memories of DL was grad night and coming out of Indy and seeing the sun slowly rise... it was magical to the 10th power!
I'm wondering how crowded this is going to be? I'm trying so hard to get that Wednesday and Thursday off work because I want SO BADLY to be there! But are there only a select few of us who MUST be there? Maybe the crowds won't be so bad because it's the middle of the week and not a weekend? All passes are valid that day so that could mean tons of people... but hopefully not a crazy amount of out-of-towners. But basically - we're not talking crowded like Christmas Day or New Year's Day... RIGHT??
I vaguely remember the park being open extended hours for the opening of Captain EO as well as Star Tours. Was there for Star Tours and it was an awesome experience. Wonder if they'll prevent people from napping on the benches again?
Vacation time covered, room booked, I'm there!

Or just ditch them after Monday and do it alone!!!
so now they announced special commemorative ear hats to first 2000 entering at 6am on the 29th. Lineups can start at 10pm night before, park in Pumbaa.
More info at the blog
I wonder, though, worth it for that? plain black ear hat with a sticker on it? Hmm....

Yeah, I thought the ears might be incentive for me to line up at 6...but 10pm the night before? I'll pass.
