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

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.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to manage the entire 24 hours and fell short by hitting … Continue reading "Gearing Up for My Second Disney All-Nighter"
