23 hours to BWV! MK open 24 hours this weekend??

[Ksp]

So close to being back at WDW! This will be our first time staying for more than a night or two at BWV, so we are all excited to have more time to explore that resort.
Anyone know how the MK hours work this weekend? The website says MK open 9 am - 11:59 pm 5/24 and 12 am - 12 pm on 5/25. Does that mean the MK is closed the afternoon & evening of 5/25?

They will open at 6 am on the 24th and stay open till 6 am on the 25th. They will not close, and will be open 24 hours. Have fun. Wish I could be there.

ETA... I Just re-read your post. Those hours are weird. I'm not sure what's going on with that. I can tell you though that they should open at 6, remain open until 6 the next morning, close for a few hours and then I would guess they would probably re-open again around 9 am for a normal day.

I see 5/24 6am to 12:59am. 5/25 9am to 12am. 5/26 EMH 12am-2am, 9am to 12am.

Are you looking at the "Calendar"?

I think they only stay open in the middle of the night for special events like Grad Night.

This is considered a special event to kickoff the "Monsters University" Montrous summer. Or something like that. LOL

I did indeed miss the announcement!
Both DH and DD made it to the MK 24 hour event and had a great time (I was done after flying in and putting in a full day in the parks, lol)

Thank you, everyone, for posting the info for me. We've been on the go so much this visit that I hadn't had a chance to say thank you yet.
