If you are a long time reader you know that we have braved both the Monstrous Summer All-Nighter and the Rock Your Disney Side 24 hour party at the Magic Kingdom. If you aren’t familiar with those events go ahead and click the links and look around before you keep reading. A few days ago Disney Announced the Coolest Summer Ever promotion which will kick off May 22-23 at the Magic Kingdom, Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure.
Memorial Day weekend is the traditional start of family vacation time, and Walt Disney World Resort will launch into the season full force. The Magic Kingdom will be open 24 hours to guests from 6 a.m. to 6 a.m., Friday May 22 to Saturday, May 23*. Guests will be invited to come in costume to show their Disney Side while a selection of favorite attractions, entertainment, special event merchandise, plus food and beverage are on tap all night long to celebrate the start of the “Coolest Summer Ever” at Walt Disney World Resort. The around-the-clock celebration features Disney character greetings, dance parties and surprises into the wee hours of the night.

Our gang is already gearing up,and praying for cooler weather than last year. Unfortunately Disney didn’t move this event to a cooler time of the year so we need to prepare better. One thing we are planning to do this year is to park hop. Last year the Magic Kingdom was wall-to-wall people, especially from 10am-10pm. WE will still be spending about 12 hours in the Magic Kingdom but we will also hop to Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom in an attempt to miss some of the crazy crowds.
After the Memorial Day weekend kick-off, the Coolest Summer Ever continues with Olaf as the official host, Walt Disney World guests can get their cool on all summer long at four theme parks and two water parks.
