Disney Parks Open for 24 Hours on February 29

[Dreamchild]

As everyone knows, every four years the Gregorian calendar adds an extra day in February, known in layman terms as a leap year. This year, 2012, is one such leap year.

Disneyland and Walt Disney World are celebrating the occasion by having the original Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom parks open for a full 24 hours on February 29. You read that right. 24 straight hours. In a Disney park. Holy crap.

The celebration begins at 6 AM on the 29th, and continues through 6 AM the following day. A whole day!

If anyone knows that I'm wrong, please correct me, but I do believe this is the first time that Disneyland will be open for a straight 24 hours.

"Who cares?" some of you might ask. But think about it. Wouldn't it be cool to ride Splash Mountain at 2 AM? The spray will keep you from falling asleep! Not to mention, it's been a longtime fantasy of mine to ride the Haunted Mansion on 3 o'clock... they call it the soul's midnight...

No, I can't attend, but it's still nifty news all the same. And I'll give a cookie to anyone who can identify a Disney quote in this news post.

Holy cow....THAT would certainly be a once in a lifetime opportunity to do.

Might it be from Something Wicked This Way Comes? Something about a soul's midnight?

Looks like it's not in the cards for my lifetime!

Exactly, Collin. lol

And you are correct, L! I'd definitely wanna be on your team if we ever participated in a Disney Trivial Pursuit, or something!

oooo I'd love to ride the Haunted Mansion during the witching hour (Midnight) or at 3 AM. Especially to see if the ghost stories about it are true
