2012 is a leap year, meaning we get one extra day on the calendar. This year that extra day is going to be when a special promotion takes place at Walt Disney World.

On February 29, 2012 – for the first time ever – WDW will keep the Magic Kingdom park open a full 24 hours. From 6am on Feb 29 through 6am on March 1, guests will be able to enjoy playing in the Magic Kingdom non-stop.
To make things even better, this is not a special ticket event. Any regular Disney admission from single park tickets to annual passes will get you in for this.
I’m already making plans to be out there for the overnight. Anybody else planning on taking advantage of this special promotion?
