Disney AnnouncementDisney Announcement, Disneyland will be open for 24 hours starting 6 a.m. Feb. 29, according to a Disney website. Disney made the announcement on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest” show on Saturday. Magic Kingdom in Florida also will have a 24-hour party. Disneyland is set to hold a 24-hour party on Leap Day, Feb. 29. Disneyland and California Adventure can be seen here from atop the Matterhorn in 2009.

As part of the One More Disney Day campaign, Disney also plans to give away a vacation package daily starting Sunday through Feb. 29.

This isn’t the first time that Disneyland has been open overnight. In 1987, the park hosted a 60-hour party for the opening of Star Tours.

But Disney officials say this will be the first time that both Disneyland and Magic Kingdom will be open 24 hours on the same day.

“To celebrate, for the first time ever, the Magic Kingdom and Disneyland Parks will remain open for 24 hours on Leap Day, so that our guests can take advantage of every minute of their extra day to make memories with friends and family,” said Tom Staggs, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, in a statement.

Both regularly-priced tickets and annual passes can be used to enter the overnight party, said Erin Glover, a Disneyland Resort spokeswoman. The current cost for a one-day ticket is $80 for ages 10 and up.

No special activities or features have been planned so far.
