So this years challenge is late arrival Monday check into BWPP for 2 nights and then one night at DVC Grand Californian in a studio then one night in a 2 bedroom Grand Cal Villa and one night at PP prob to take a shower after 24 hour success (hopefully not a failure again)... and then back to LAX for flight home. I can sleep on plane, So are you betting I will survive 24 hours or fail at will prob be my last 24 hour since I am really getting too old for this! And making 4 different hotel room changes is crazy stupid extra challenge. Uggg

If I could be there with my BFF who is a big Disney fan, I might make it if we took lots of breaks to sit and relax. I'd never go without my kids though. Disney is our special place together. No way I'd ever leave then home.

I'll probably head back to my hotel post parade for a few hours and arrive back at the park for the evening festivities and hopefully make it through until 6 am. I plan to stay in town the next day to recover. I don't want to have to worry about checking out of my hotel. And then head home. I usually spend a week to 10 days at DL but I think a short time with with everything focused on the 24 hours would be the best way to get through it successfully. Now lets just hope that next year they stick with Memorial Day weekend or do Leap Day again. I've already requested both of those off for next year.

It sounds like you've done some practice so you know what to expect. With all the added excitement of the new 50th offerings, it should be a fun (though really busy!) place to be this year

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance Time seems to go so fast in DL, so maybe 24 hours would go really fast. I'm convinced that there must be a time warp at DL.
