On February 29,2012, the Magic Kingdom park in Florida and Disneyland in California will celebrate “One More Disney Day” – a 24 hour continuous opening of the parks that will allow guests to enjoy the extra leap year day as a “Disney Day.” Guests will have a unique opportunity to celebrate from 6:00 am on Wednesday February 29 to 6:00 am on March 1, and Disney has promised a variety of special ceremonies and merchandise to celebrate the event.
