Solo For Leap Year

[Birdie1981]

I am heading to WDW 27th-1st for the Leap Year event. I am very excited and just starting to plan out my days. Any ideas from anyone?

I"m thinking of heading down there for leap day. Will stay 28th-1st more than likely.

Hi! I too am heading down for my first solo trip 2/27-3/2. My (very basic) plan for Leap Day...I have an old, non-expiring PH ticket that has 1 day left on it (I have tickets for my other days), and I plan on using this PH ticket on 2/29. I want to be at MK for the 6am opening, hang out for a while and possibly check out AK during the day since I don't have AK in my plan for the rest of the week (and possibly go to DHS and EP as well that day-have never gone to all 4 parks in one day-check off on the bucket list), go back to the resort, nap/swim/relax and be ready to pull an all-nighter (or at least as long as I can last) at MK. Planning on sleeping in the next day and having a nice EP World Showcase evening with at least 3 Grand Marnier Slushies.

Now, I am thinking this all out, but I haven't done any research yet on what special stuff is happening on Leap Day or what the crowds may be, etc.

Have fun!

*Update-I ended up splurging (a little bit more) and upgraded my tickets to park hoppers, I was able to snag a lunch at Le Cellier so I will tool around a little and then go back to the resort to rest up for the evening. Hope everyone has a great time!

Have you thought of what you are doing yet, I planned on epcot say one dinner at nine dragon
Animal kingdom then head to Hollywood studios
Magic kingdom leap day ( not sure of crowds) so I may just stay all day and night.
Airport at 5 on the 1st! Tired for work Friday!

I'm staying at all star sports good enough sine my bags will be all alone for the three days

As soon as I get confirmation I can get off later this week. I'm booking my trip. Will probably stay at POP since I won't be in hotel that much.

I'm going solo for Leap Day as well! 2/24-2/29 at POFQ. Of course I planned my trip before Disney announced anything for the 24hrs and by that time flights had gone waaaaaaaaaaay up

I'm there that week. I have not yet decided exactly what I'm doing when (other than night rides on Everest on 2/25), but am considering a Monorail Bar Hop on the 29th.

I decided about 3 weeks ago to go for Leap Day. It will be my second solo trip to WDW.

I had originally planned on 2/28 - 3/1 and made plans accordingly. Staying at ASM. Then I filed my tax returns and realized how much I am getting back and decided to extend my trip, because coming home on 1/1 after being up all night and then going to work the next day would be crazy... So, I upped it to 3/3. (what a fiasco THAT was with the Disney Reservations person...)

I am planning on hitting AK on the 28th then doing Epcot at night (dinner res at Via Napoli! AWESOME food) then going to sleep as soon as I get back to the hotel to be up for the 6am opening of MK so I can get some fast passes. (Breakfast at Crystal Palace). More Fast passes, then I'll probably go over to Hollywood Studios for a while. Go to the hotel and nap so I can be in MK from about 7pm until 6am the next morning

I am QUITE excited about being in the park over night.. I love MK in the dark, it's so beautiful. I am praying that the 29th, being a Wednesday, won't be THAT crowded since, hopefully, most people won't take off the middle of the week to go to a park.

Then I'll just have fun for the rest of the days I am there.

I will be at MK on the 29 th for as long as I can. I will probably sleep in that morning and head over late afternon or early evening. ( I am a night owl and normally sleep late.) The next day I will recoup by sleeping in late again and hitting Epcot for the evening.

This will be an interesting trip and the first time I will not be making rope drops or going to the non EMH parks. I hope the lack of fast passes and the crowds don't make me sorry, but I think doing the parks at night will be worth it!

depending on how early or how late you plan to monorail bar hop... I might be able to coerce ttester to go and we can tag along with you... unless there is an age limit (old and decrepit here)

I am very interested in how this would work? Poly and Contemp? I will also be there, flying in that afternoon of the 29th and hoping to make most of my week there.

Ann Arbor, I lived there, worked at U of M. Go Blue!
