24 hour leap day MK

[Lindsey1026]

In your opinion is this's good day to be at the park or no?

Also, if anybody has ever been at the park on this day what kind experiences did you have? Good or bad?

Hasn't even been announced that they are going to do it yet. But the 24 hour day, no matter what month it is (it's been May in non-leap years) can get crowded.

I went to the 24 hour event they held in May '14 Memorial Day weekend. I worked all day & then drove over, checked into my hotel about 6pm & took a nap. Got to MK about 10pm-ish & planned to stay until 6am. I found it fun (I was solo too). Got to meet lots of characters, rode lots of the rides. It was crazy having a dance party with Minnie at 2am in Frontierland or hearing the music blasting down Main Street from the castle while we stood in line to meet characters at City Hall at 4am! I will say make sure to plan ahead some food/snack times as not all places stay open. Waiting in character lines were kind of my nap/downtime/recharge. I had fun!

Crowd wise...I started late & it was crowded for sure which you totally expect. But as the night progressed it thinned out. That was also when they were doing a soft opening for 7DMT so tons of people were standing in line for that during the night! It was like 1.5-2 hour wait most of the time. I waited until 5:30 to get in line as my last thing & rode it just as the sun was rising which was pretty cool!

We went in May this year. It was a blast.
We did not attempt to stay 24 hours in the park.
We opted instead to spring for a night at CR, so we could walk over with ease.
We got there at opening and headed left when everyone else went right.
We had no one with us on that half of the park and we did every ride in both Adventure Land and Frontier Land, most more than once, by 8:00 AM
We hung around and did some other things till mid day and we went back for a nap.
Got back over there (in our PJ's) for Wishes and dinner at BOG. We didn't stay a lot longer after that as it started raining.
So in the end, it wasn't hugely different than our day last Sunday but we still had a blast and got to see a few different things

I went to the first one they did at DL. Never, ever, ever again.

The ones at DL seem to be much crazier, busier than at WDW
From what I understand DL closes to capacity each time. WDW has not (yet) that I can recall

I did it in 2014. We were not there the whole 24 hours.

6:00am - 11:00am MK
11:00am - 3:00pm - rest at hotel (WL)
3:00pm - 8:00pm - DHS (Star Wars Weekend)
8:00pm - 1:00am - rest at hotel
1:00am- 6:00am - MK

We had a good time, they had the soft open for 7DMT, we did first thing in the morning (short wait) and during the night (1 hour wait). We went to a character greeting with Maleficent during the night and got free movie tickets. The most memorable part was dancing in front of the castle at 5:00am with characters in pajamas. Then around 5:45am, they told everyone to go to the train station for a special goodbye. The characters were up on the platform and they did the Mickey Mouse song. And right out the exit....
