Originally Posted By ksargen Yeah, I saw it on another site, too. Lots of rumors, not a lot of facts. Looks like, whatever it is, is going to be on a "One More Day" theme.

I've said since it was announced that it was the "all for Disney, none for you" campaign. Getting folks to let Disney use their pictures for free for whatever use they see fit was great for Disney, and interesting entertainment for the folks who participated, but was not, in my opinion, a real campaign to get people to come to the parks.

The announcement will also kick off new discounts based on the "one more day" theme and a continuation of the Memories campaign. Only the 24 hour party for Leap Year Day (February 29th) has any interest for me. If Lutz is right on this one, of course.

Originally Posted By Yookeroo "Staying up all night is something I've never found fun, especially the aftermath." Then you're doing it wrong. If Disney is going to pull an allnighter, they should bring in a world class DJ or two. Really make it a party.

It will be interesting to see what it is. You can also sign up on their special website for email notification...
