So...is that six back-to-back without anything else in between? I don't know if I even want to watch someone attempt that. ;)

I don't even think I could manage one time through those old campy films :roll:

Looks like this 24 hour thing is true. Watch the trailer they ran today and you be the judge... http://wdwnewstoday.com/archives/8458

It could be that they are simply playing up the fact that there is an extra day in 2012 to enjoy the parks? The buzz on facebook tonight seemed to be that it would only be DL...I guess we'll have to wait until 12/31 and see...

It is still odd to think they would do that, perhaps the extended hours AP party was a beta test for it?

I think it would be the coolest thing to be in the MK from 2:00 through 6:00 AM. I love the WDW today episode where they talk about touring plans for 24 hour days for all of the parks.

We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

If we could be there, we would!!! Unfortunately, we won't be, so here's to the lucky ones who get to be in the parks overnight! :D

I'm requesting the day off the minute I get down there. No joke.

Ummm wow. Smart promotional move as it is a Wednesday when kids are in school. Seems like minimal staffing will be needed unless the APs go all out for it.
