    Default Space Mountain at 4:00 AM

    I'll be there for the 29th of February. I've decided to go to MK for the night shift. Wonder how many people have the same idea I do and head there at starting at midnight?

    I would think that you will find it very, very busy during the night. Most people (without young kids) will want to be in there taking advantage of that long day and I'm sure the younger set will have the energy to plow right through the night. As much as I know I'd be up for it, I'd definitely plan to leave if large crowds were an issue.

    My 'Plan B' would be to show up at the gate first thing the next morning and hope everyone else is still sleeping.
    I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.

    I think you've got a good point Patricia. Maybe I'll snag a fast pass for SM for the 4:00 AM hour then get out of there if it its that busy. But I'll be reporting on INTERCOT what its like.

    I look forward to hearing the reports.

    I hope the night turns out to be a great experience for all that attend.

    I actually think crowds won't be as large as some people think. No more ESPN the Weekend which has been held the first weekend of March is sure to bring down attendance a little.

    I can tell you that several years ago during Spring Break, MK was open untill 3 AM. It was very crowded until well after midnight. But by the last hour the park felt virtually empty. Space Mountain was a walk on.
    With Disney advertising it's 24 hour day, it's hard to know how many people are planning to be there. I would not be surprised to find the park rather busy all night. Not packed. Not empty. But busy.

    We'll be there. I'd be shocked actually if there's crowds overnight. This is much ado about nothing IMO.

    I would expect very large crowds because people will want to to say that they did it. All part of the experience

    I think it will be interesting to see what the crowds actually are, since everyone seems to have varying opinions. I'll be there (call me stupid) and plan on staying through the night. Follow @INTERCOT on Twitter for updates.

    If we start seeing nothing but "KAUGUYTI*SDFJHWEGK&" as Tweets will it mean you fell asleep with your head on the phone? lol

    We will be there.I am planning to go about 1 or 2 am. My hope is that the crowds will have thinned out by then. It just might be fun to be there. We will be @ BLT so it won't be a big hassle to get to the park and if it is too crowded we will just go back to the resort and go to sleep. I bet MK is not packed on Thursday.

    Staying at BLT is perfect for something like this. Enjoy!

    I'm so jealous of those of you who are going! It's sure to be a fun time. This kind of thing is right up my alley because I'm a night owl. Alas, I'm in New England, so it's a bit of a trek. I really look forward to your report posts!

    I've done Space Mtn at 3AM during EEMHs at spring break. Pretty interesting when you are half asleep. I don't remember the monorail ride back to the TTC that night/morning.

    It might be me, but I don't think crowds will be that bad. I can't wait! Only 5 more days

    Guys last I saw on the schedule that day Space Mountain is going to close at 4am. We're going to try to do a quick meet and ride at Space Mountain at 2am. Be there!

    I have been trying to find some schedule information for the day. I have found some information on the resturants but nothing on rides and attractions. Does anyone know where I can find information on this?
