24 Hours Magic Kingdom

What Would You Do with 24 Hours in the Magic Kingdom?

In the past, I’ve attended the first three 24-hour days at the Magic Kingdom and they were always fun, and crazy, and by the end, I was delirious. This time around, I couldn’t make it, so friend and blogger Kira from Second Blog to the Right jumped in and covered the Coolest Summer Ever festivities:

How do you know summer has arrived?!?!

By the #CoolestSummer Ever kickoff party at the Magic Kingdom!

Oh and did I mention, the party lasted for 24 hours?!?!?!?!

The Magic Kingdom was open from 6 am to 6 am with lots of festivities for all.

Everyone’s favorite snowman, Olaf, hosted the party and he brought his friends, Anna, Elsa, & Kristoff along as well.

In year’s past, I have only done the nighttime happenings, so this year I got to experience the morning.

The highlight of my morning was meeting Snapchatters, @shonduras & @emgarber. They took over the @waltdisneyworld Snapchat account for the whole weekend. If you followed along, you got to see all the fun they had. They are some of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet; so go give them a follow on Snapchat or Instagram!

I also got to experience a rarity in the Magic Kingdom thanks to being in the park prior to sunrise, the flag raising ceremony! I absolutely adore the tradition of the flag retreat at the Magic Kingdom and try to catch it whenever I can, but the flag raising happens at sunrise, which is usually before the park opens.

Some highlights of the 24 hour bash:

  • #INCREDIBLESSuperDanceParty at Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland.
  • Disney Channel and Disney XD stars appear as honorary Grand Marshals at the 3 p.m. “Festival of Fantasy” parade.
  • Main Street Electrical Parade featuring a Frozen Fantasy pre-parade celebration.
  • Previews of upcoming Disney Channel films and music videos, plus a DJ spinning tunes as Disney Channel hosted the new “Club Chill” party zone in
  • Tomorrowland with some of guests’ favorite Disney Channel and Disney XD stars.
  • “Frozen” movie screening at Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland.
  • Specialty cupcakes and other food items

Even if you missed the kickoff party, you still have plenty of time to experience #CoolestSummer Ever at Walt Disney World Resort.

Thanks, Kira! What would you do with 24 Hours at Magic Kingdom? (I know for me it involved a LOT of Peoplemover rides!) It’s always fun to experience some views you don’t normally get to see in the parks, like sunrises over Cinderella Castle and many other unique photo ops!

Things To Do With 24 Hours At Disney-One More Disney Day!

One More Disney DayTomorrow is the day we’ve all been waiting for – One More Disney Day, where both the Magic Kingdom Park in Walt Disney World and Disneyland will be open from 6am Wednesday, February 29 through 6am Thursday, March 1. It sounds like a dream come true, doesn’t it? But then you may stop and think, well, what am I going to DO for 24 hours? I thought I’d put together some ideas to ensure the day, and night, and day again, is a memorable!

…

Find 24 Hidden Mickeys – look around, they’re everywhere!

Ride an attraction 24 times – not all attractions will be open for the full 24 hours so check before you head over.

Play Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom – you know I will be!!

Create your own scavenger hunt – look for certain items (a crown, a star, a squirrel!), see who can find the most yellow things – the sky’s the limit!

Count the ghosts on Haunted Mansion – play in the queue!

Have 24 different snacks – popcorn, cotton candy, hot dogs, egg rolls, you can come up with 24, right?

For the hardcore snacker – have 24 Dole Whips! (or Mickey Bars, or snack treat of choice!)

Check out the cool One More Disney Day merchandise commemorating the momentous day.

Buy 24 Disney Dooney & Bourke purses? (Just seeing if you were paying attention – but if you have the means, be my guest – and let me know, I’ll post about you!)

Take 24 Disney Photos! Friends and followers of mine on twitter know of my addiction to Instagram. There have been several photo challenges on there, just for fun, with prompts of things to capture and post. Now friend and fellow blogger ThemeParkMom has come up with a #Disney24 photo challenge for those of us spending the next 24 hours surrounded by endless photo opportunities. Check it out and post your photos to instagram, twitter, with the hashtag #24DisneyPhotos, or publicly on facebook. ThemeParkMom will be sharing her favorites on her blog, so check back there.

In addition to these fun ideas, here is the official entertainment line-up for tomorrow, from the Disney Parks Blog:

  • Two performances of the Main Street Electrical Parade, at 10 p.m. and midnight
  • Four showings of “The Magic, The Memories and You!” at 7:45 p.m., 9 p.m., 11 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. (March 1)
  • The Frontierland Hoedown near Country Bear Jamboree, at 2:45 a.m., 3:30 a.m. and 4:30 a.m.
  • Disney’s Dance the Night Away Party at Cinderella Castle, from 1 a.m. – 5:30 a.m.
  • Character greetings throughout the night, including:
    • Phineas and Ferb in Tomorrowland
    • Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in Fantasyland
    • Mickey and Minnie Mouse in Town Square, wearing their pajamas for the party in Florida before heading out west to visit guests at Disneyland park

Finally – have fun! If you are in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World – look me up on twitter @zannaland. I’ll be there off and on throughout the day and I’d love to meet up!
