May 23,2014 - 24 Hours of MK @ WDW

I only know what I read :)

A friend attended last year's 24 hour celebration, she said there was a midnight showing of Wishes as well. I was really hoping to see it twice this year too.
 
Anyone planing on park hopping between HS and MK? Trying to figure out a strategy...not sure of any special events at MK but hoping for light crowds during the day at MK and the evening Star Wars show and fireworks at HS. Heres' some possible plans....

For HS, we have the Feel the Force premium seating so I'm not worried about lining up too early for the Star Wars daytime parade or the evening show-fireworks.

MK 6am (DH Only)
HS 10am (DH meets rest of family)
HS 10:30am Star Wars Parade (Feel the Force premium seating)
MK after the parade, dinner at MK
HS 8pm for Star Wars Show and Fireworks (Feel the Force premium seating)

Or.... just go to MK during the day, then have a late afternoon break at the resort and dinner... then go to HS for the evening. I know HS will be very crowded too.... and we would just do the day time Star Wars stuff on Sunday instead.
 

Here's our plan:

Be there for RD at 6am. I'd love to share a cab, so if anyone's staying at ASMovies, let me know :)
9-2 Keys tour
Stay for parade
Leave park and return to hotel to rest for a few hours. Return to park by 8pm so we can see Celebrate the Magic and Wishes.
We have a 10pm ADR for BOG
Then we will play it by ear ��
 
not much is on that schedule from Midnight til 6am.

not much in the way of character meets either.
I also question the 1am electric parade

It's just the daytime schedule I'm assuming.

Last year they did a 1 am DEP, it's the easiest to do that late. I know last year they also did a dance party in the hub (much like MiSi but much longer and not as structured) over night as well!

I question MiSi being at 10:00am. in April they were doing 2 FoF's a day and they did MiSi only at 9:25am and 5:50 (ish) each day because of the cross over of performers.
 
Great Katt. We will be with red back packs. Let's meet up by the wall to the New Fanstasyland. We will tweet from the event so follow up on twitter.

I will be in an Captain America shirt. Wife has not figured out her outfit yet.

looking forward to it.

Excellent! I'm sure we wont miss ya'll with the amount of people going now! I'll be Esmerelda & the friend with me is Alice~!

a 1am and a 11pm? seems too close together to me/.
 
My friend and I (Zarina and I belive Fawn) will be there to meet you at 2a.m. as well! Love the idea of a meet up for photos!

Also, the cab idea is a great one. Is anyone else staying at All Star Sports interested in sharing a cab? I was at One More Day and I would love to be able to get there a little earlier then the bus gets us there. There are two of us in my group so two spots should still be open in a cab!

Pm'd u bout cab.
 
Hope this isn't a dumb question, but those of you planning on taking a cab, will they be taking you to TTC? I was thinking about having a cab take us to CR and walking over, but figured they wouldn't allow that. Just wondering how crazy not the TTC would be at 5am that morning.......:rolleyes:

No a dumb question at all, We are taking a cab to CR and walking over to the front gates at MK.

The cab can just drop us off at the security gate because the walking path over to MK is right there. No need to actually go into the CR.

Hoping to arrive at the front gates at about 4:45 or 5am

Very good, thanks!!!! That's exactly when we plan to arrive! :goodvibes
 
I was wondering the same thing. How far is the walk from CR? We've never stayed there.
 
I am wondering about the boats to and from WL. Will we have to use busses?

not 100% sure about boats but I have read that in the past they have not been running that early due to fog.

I'm staying at WL as well, and have been curious about this.

Hello all,

The big date is fast approaching only about 20 days left. If anyone is interested in a DisBoard meet up. We will be we, memoriesofdisney, AKA as Roy & Marianne will be at Fantasyland taking pictures at 2am. We will the the couple with somewhat match red backpacks.

If you are interested let us know and we will finalize the details so we ensure we all connect.

Hope to see y'all real soon!

Would be interested in meeting up, if I can get the DH to get back to the park in time. :)
 
The walk from CR to the front gate of MK. Is about 7-10 minutes along a dedicated walkway.

Hope to see everyone in 17 days.
 
Anyone have an idea based on past 24 hour events as to whether or not buses will be running to/from the resorts the entire time? I'm mostly wondering if they'll be running from midnight to 6am.
Anyone know?
