Morning Light over New Fantasyland

Posted on
It’s a rare occasion that we Disney geeks are given the chance to enter a park before 8 am. Unless there’s a special event or you’ve scored an 8:05 am reservation at Cinderella’s Royal Table (or another restaurant serving breakfast), you’ll just have to live with making rope drop. I made it into Magic Kingdom … Continue reading "Morning Light over New Fantasyland"

My family’s experience at Walt Disney World’s Monstrous Summer All-Nighter

Posted on
How long could two kids and their parents last at the Magic Kingdom when the theme park was open 24 hours? We set out to find out Friday at the Monstrous Summer All-Nighter. My husband and I are night owls, routinely staying up until 3 a.m. or later, so that was in our favor. However, both our 10-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter had a full day of school before we headed to the Magic Kingdom in the afternoon, so they were tired. But they were really excited about the event, so that adrenaline helped fuel their determination to stay awake. When we arrived about 4:30 p.m., the Transportation and Ticket Center parking lot was already about two-thirds full. I wondered if the park would close because of capacity crowds at some point, but we continued to see folks arriving all night.
