Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 The annual passholder newsletter is advertising that AP holders can pre-purchase the 24-hour MK Event t-shirts until April 19...http://www.disneystore.com/mp/1376038/1001081/?CMP=DTPM-CMR&att=PARKS_WDWAP_CoolestSummer_Adult&CMP=EMC-WDWFY15Q3WDWPHAPRENEWS0003 Apparently the one "new" thing at WDW this year is that it's a color changing t-shirt. Ooooooohhh!!! Just for kicks I put one of the shirts in my cart, and the total cost, with shipping is $37.90 (and they're probably going to add sales tax to that at check out). Wow. As far as I can tell, they aren't asking for proof that you have an AP to let you buy it. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 As far as I can tell, they aren't asking for proof that you have an AP to let you buy it. I wondered about that. I bought a shirt the first time I went, but couldn't bring myself to spend the money last year. It was just a so-so shirt, the design wasn't anything fabulous, the cost was silly and I didn't want to lug it around. The color changing shirt is actually pretty nifty... but not for that price. Unless I actually end up going. Then I might have to get it. :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Somehow, I think it will be hard for me not to buy one if I'm at this one. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ependydad...Doug 176 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 TCD, let me know if you're at this one- my wife and I will be there. And, no way I'm buying myself a $40 t-shirt. I'd buy one for my wife if she wanted it, though. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 The Disney Parks Blog just announced that in Disneyland, they will have a couple of restaurants open at 12 am to serve a special breakfast which will include reserved seating at a special showing of the brand new World of Color show at 3 am: http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/04/world-of-color-dining-packages-available-for-disneyland-resort-diamond-celebration-24-hour-kickoff-event/ That's more cool stuff Disneyland will have that WDW won't.

Travisma 1,317 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Will transportation to and from the Fort to the MK be running for the entire 24 hours? What about internal Fort busses? I see the shirt isn't available I guess at the park until 5/22, but you could've ordered it on line ahead of time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 More from Disney Parks Blog... Fuel Your 24-Hour Party Fun at Magic Kingdom Park on May 22posted on May 18th, 2015 by Rachel Brent, Food & Beverage Marketing Communications Coordinator We’re gearing up to have the Coolest Summer Ever at Walt Disney World Resort, and what better way to kick it off than with a 24-Hour party at Magic Kingdom Park? I have a few tips for finding great bites during the 24-Hour Party at Magic Kingdom Park: For breakfast, you can’t go wrong with a cup of coffee and a pastry (or a cupcake; I don’t judge) from Main Street Bakery. A favorite for me are the waffles from Sleepy Hollow in Liberty Square, delicious served topped with strawberries and whipped cream or as a ham and cheese omelet sandwich—either way, you can’t go wrong. Cupcakes celebrating the 24-Hour Party will be available at Main Street Bakery and Gaston’s Tavern. Since we’re kicking off the Coolest Summer Ever, everything from cotton candy to our lemonade is turning blue! For lunch, I love the Pot Roast Macaroni and Cheese or Bacon Cheeseburger Macaroni and Cheese from The Friar’s Nook. Or, still in Fantasyland, I enjoy watching the ‘it’s a small world’ boats drift by in Pinocchio Village Haus while enjoying one of their delicious flatbreads (the Caprese is my favorite—I love the juicy tomatoes and balsamic drizzle). Hang loose during the Tomorrowland beach party, starting at 4 p.m., and grab a snack at The Lunching Pad, featuring a tropical watermelon lemonade, a special gourmet hot dog topped with pulled pork and cole slaw and a crisped rice treat shaped like a flip-flop available only during the beach party. For dinner, ample seating and air conditioning can’t be beat—it’s the best way to recharge. Try the new Deluxe Chicken Sandwich with pepper jack cheese, bacon and chipotle mayo at Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Café, or try one of the new Rice Bowls (choose from beef or veggie) at Tortuga Tavern. In Liberty Square, the Seafood Mac and Cheese—cheesy goodness made with lobster and shrimp—and Chicken Pot Pie from Columbia Harbor House hit the mark for comfort food (both entrees are only available after 4 p.m.). Looking for dessert? There’s nothing like watching Wishes from Main Street with a sundae from Plaza Ice Cream Parlor in hand—be sure to try Olaf’s take on this sweet treat! If dessert isn’t your thing, and you’re looking for a late-night snack instead, give the gourmet waffle fries from Golden Oak Outpost a try. For the night owls who make it to the wee hours of the morning, Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café will offer a breakfast plate loaded up with crispy bacon, fluffy scrambled eggs and herb-crusted roasted red skin potatoes. My fellow Disney Parks Blog author, Pam Brandon, will be giving you east-coast food updates on May 22, and I’ll be live-blogging the Disneyland Diamond Celebration Kickoff in California! http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/05/fuel-your-24-hour-party-fun-at-magic-kingdom-park-on-may-22/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bets on if his flight from Paris is a little longer than normal? Maybe... 4-5 hours longer? If Aer Lingus does its job I will be there with time to spare. We start early tomorrow morning with a flight from Paris to Dublin and then from Dublin to Orlando, arriving at 6:20 pm. I planned this trip before the 24 hour day was announced, but had the foresight to just happen to be in Orlando in time to attend. Hopefully I'll grab a few hours of sleep before I hit that 6 am rope drop. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
