Anyone else have any reports? I'd love to hear.
Here is ours:
We didn't trust the buses so we took our car. We were a bit late leaving the room so we were actually on the monorail when the opening show was happening. I'm totally counting that as being in the MK 24 hours. Monorail counts.
There were 4 of us and I was dressed as Donald (in his yellow tights if anyone saw me), my BF (not dressed as anything), his sister (dressed as Mickey) and his mom (dressed as Minnie).
Anyway, we were about 10 minutes late to the party. When we got inside the park there were still quite a few people milling around. Donald (my fav) in his PJs was out front, but he was just doing a media event.
It had been our plan to head right to Mine Train, main street was moderately busy with everyone wanting pictures.
When we got to Mine Train it was open and the line was back to Storybook Circus. The wait time said 120 minutes, and we figured it wouldn't get any shorter so we got in line.
It actually only ended up taking 45 minutes, so sweet!
There are 2 games in the queue, one is kind of like a matching game on computer screens, the other is very sweet. You run your hands overtop a mine cart with gems and colored water comes down and it plays music.
Anyway, Brian and I asked to wait for the front and we only had to wait one train.
My thoughts on the Mine Train:
we couldn't feel rocking motion at all. I did hear you could feel it better in the back. I thought the seats might be tight for some people. There is a wooden ledge between the 2 riders, and not a ton of space for the butt to go.
Other than that, this is the smoothest coaster I have ever been on. The outside portions were ok, but the inside with the animatronics is where it really shined. I especially liked the dancing in the cottage.
After that we went on a few short ride lines, Space (I'm glad we did because it seemed to be down for a majority of the rest of the day). I feel like we did other stuff but I can't remember too well now, will have to look at my pics later.
Cosmic Ray's opened at 930 so we had some food there (it was just the regular lunch items).
Then we went to see circus Donald so he could see my costume. First we saw Goofy, he looked at all our costumes and was disappointed to see no one was dressed like him. Brian then said sorry that nobody liked him (not meant like that, but it came out mean lol) and he want and sat down by the curtain and hid. Poor Goofy
We finally got him up and he came over to take a pic and put his head down. Poor guy, I
hope someone came to see him dressed like him.
Then we let Stephanie and Brian's mom see Donald first, and he was angry they were Mickey and Minnie so Stephanie pointed at me and he got super excited.
It was a great interaction, he loved my costume. After that we walked onto Dumbo, and then I believe we wanted to go see what the chipmunks thought of my costume. It was getting pretty sunny and hot by this time so we had a hot and sweaty wait in the sun for about 15 minutes for the Chipmunks. They also loved the costume and messed with me by standing in front of me for the pic.
At this point Brian and his mom left for a nap and Stephanie and I got special Olaf cups and got a spot in Frontierland for the festival of fantasy parade (we got shady spots at 11 and the parade was at 12).
If you haven't seen the parade, see it, so awesome. The dragon even breathed fire right in front of us. I was sad to see some notable faces missing, there was no Aladdin and Jasmine for one.
We got spots in front of the castle for the 1 pm Move it Shake it with the villains. OMG it was awful. The pavement was burning hot but my feet were killing me since we'd already had a week in the parks. There was no shade in that area. So after our sweltering, miserable parade experience...
it was time to begin our 'we must endure the heat and sun if we are to make it 24 hours' tour.
First up was COP. Ahhh. Then TTA. Double ahhhh. Then we got ice cream and cupcakes and at at Cosmic Ray's. Then over to Philharmagic. Triple ahhh. Then over to HOP. super ahhhh. Then Country Bears. I love that show, so funny. Did I mention we walked onto all those shows? Awesome plan for the midday heat, if I do say so myself.
I'm not sure I remember the order of the next few things, but we waited 20 minutes for Merida and made some sweet new friends in line. Had a great interaction, she was wearing someone's sombrero then called me her sister (redhead). We met Tink with a 10 minute wait, and then I think we did a few other things with short waits but I forget
We watched the flag lowering ceremony, it was very touching and I like that WDW still does this stuff.
We rode IASW with a 10 minute wait, then Brian texted him and his mom were back for our 7 pm Crystal Palace ADR. I made it at this time cause I thought we'd need a big sit down break at this point and we totally did.
The characters were sweet but the food sucked, all I have to say about that.
Next we had our first FP for BTMR. We saw Wishes from the ride. Then we headed to the hub for the castle show and our Electric Light Parade FP. We were let in about an hour early and got front curb spots. We stayed seated (with the majority of the other front row people, some did stand) and saw the Villains pre parade. Oogie Boogie walked in the parade but wasn't meeting. Sometimes I don't understand Disney.
I believe at this time it was around 1030, so we went to camp our number one villain meet and greet, the Hercules characters. We found the line around 1045, we were already about 40-50 groups back. Yes, thats right, we were in line at 1045 for characters who wouldn't come out until 215.
Good thing we did. The line was massive and was queued in the storybook circus meeting area and it ended up getting closed before the characters even came out. We made some friends in line who worked at Universal and they said the Maleficent and Evil Queen line was about 2.5 hours.
CM managers came by and assured us they would make sure the line moved fast, no selfies no autographs. We were still nervous because Hades and Meg would switch off with Pain and Panic every half hour. Ugh, once again, Disney why do you do these things? Everyone wanted Hades and Meg. Either have two sets of the characters to meet constantly, or put Hades with Pain and Meg with Panic.
We were going to switch off waiting all night, but Brian's mom was in a
scooter (she had a leg boot on from an injury) and by the time they made it to our FP with Mickey at Town Square Stephanie and I had no time to make it. Luckily Mickey wasn't meeting in PJs, just regular. Brian's mom left at this point and he came back and we all just waited.
So anyway, they came out about 15 minutes late. The line moved at a snail's pace. We were so sad cause we knew we wouldn't make this set of Meg and Hades. So finally they ended up leaving and Pain and Panic came out. They really lived up to their names. A couple groups were forced thru. We saw some Megs walking out of the meet and greet crying. Finally we all decided to swim together and people refused to move. The CM finally gave up and walked the line seeing if anyone wanted Pain and Panic. A few groups saved themselves hours in line and moved up. At the end of their set they were just standing there. Finally Meg and Hades came back out and we were about the tenth group to see them. We took pictures as a group because we wanted to let the most people have a chance to see them as possible. It was a great interaction. Brian now has a crush on Meg. She was so awesomely in character.
I'm afraid other guests in line were forced to do Pain and Panic or leave the line after us though, when we left there were about 10 managers and security waiting in front of the meet and greet. Disney really needs to fix things like this. First of all, why make the villains wait until 2 to come out? And then why only have one of each character?
We rode the TTA with no wait and got to see SM with the lights on since the ride was down.
There were many people in front of the Incredibles movie marathon just passed out asleep. I think this was around 330.
Anyway we made our way to Bowler Hat guy in Tomorrowland and only had to wait 15 minutes for him, he was sweet.
We tried to find Strombolli in Fantasyland but he was nowhere to be found (we forgot to look for Facilier and this makes me sad).
Next up we went to the castle dance party to find PJ Donald. He was dancing with a bunch of CMs around him. One of the CMs saw me coming and pointed me out to Donald. We shook our duck butts together for a few minutes and Brian took my pic. Daisy was there too but we didn't feel like trying to get to her.
Then we went to the Frontierland dance party with Chip and Dale and got a pic with them.
There were some CMs who weren't working the dance party but were nearby who were totally jamming out and having an awesome time. It definitely gave us a little infusion of energy. It seemed like most CMs who could hear the dance party musics were having an awesome time, some of the ones who weren't seemed a bit run down.
Next up we wanted to see how insane the JC CMs were so we walked onto that. Sadly, our skipper was pretty normal.
We walked onto the magic carpets then waited 5 minutes for Jafar.
Time was running out at this point. We wanted to try our Storytime with Belle but they cut off the line at about 10 til 6. So we took a consolation ride on the carousel and were walking thru the castle as it struck 6.
My closing thoughts (like that report wasn't long enough): If you are thinking of doing a 24 hour event in the future its soooo much fun and so doable. Just make sure to scheduled yourselves some breaks like a lunch and dinner sit down ADR. Maybe follow our air conditioned/sit down theater show afternoon schedule?
It really wasn't as packed as I though it would be. Of course, from 11 until 3 we were hidden back in the Hercules characters line so maybe we missed most of the crazy.
Anyone else have any good stories or pictures?!!? I would love to hear.
We really wanted to ride SDMT, but the line was insanely long - we will ride it in August or earlier if we make a day trip before then. 
In fact, the CM at Elsa and Anna put me totally at ease and even proclaimed how awesome we were I appreciated that so much, I filled out a guest appreciation card for her too
