24 hour Leap Year Day? Will it happen?

Do you think Disney World will have a 24 hour day on February 29th?

Would be nice.

I'm pretty sure the only time they've done a Leap Day 24 hr was on 2008. The rest have been in May. No word, officially, if and when the next 4 hr event will be held.

It was 2012.

It was announced on January 1: http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...2-brings-one-more-disney-day-to-disney-parks/

You're right. I had been checking further back for 2008 and couldn't find anything there. Got the years switched around.

If they are, I'd expect it will be announced on the NYE show, like the last one was

What is the NYE show?

Never mind, I figured it out!

The hours for Magic Kingdom on that date are blank, while all other days before and after have hours, so I am assuming this is an indicator of it happening...

Maybe. Or maybe its just an indication of the calendar folks not remembering to actually fill in the info for a date that occurs every 4 years.

My Disney Experience has 9am-11pm listed as the hours for leap day.

I just pulled up the Disney website, and there are hours posted.
Feb 28 9 am - 10 pm
Feb 29 9 am - 11 pm
Mar 1 9 am - 8 pm

I went to the one in 2013 and 2015. Felt like 2015 was really just thrown together, nothing special and we all decided we wouldn't plan a trip to attend again. They focused so much on Disneyland's 60th, we really felt like they said a week out "oh wait we have to do organized some things at the WDW 24 hour event" ...... 2013 was SO much better.

2013 - 2015 were announced a little over 2 months out. 2012 Leap was announced New Years.

I am so hoping there is an announcement tonight! I will be watching!

 

[OKW Lover]

Its January 2nd and I haven't seen any announcement.

with the security changes that suddenly happened, I would be surprised with a delay if they plan to announce it. I'm more crossing my fingers that do first day of summer again.
