It only comes around once every four years, so why not do something special for the Leap year like a little extra traveling with your family? And who better to help you celebrate it than Disney?
Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida and Disney Land in Anaheim, California are both celebrating the leap day, February 29th, by keeping their doors open for 24 hours straight! Are you kidding me? Nope. Starting at 6 a.m. on February 29th, select attractions and entertainment will be open for 24 hours. It’s like a Mickey Mouse binge for Disney die-hards looking to play all day and all night long.
That’s not all folks. From now until February 29th, Disney is giving away a vacation everyday. To enter, all you have to do is text the keyword “DISNEYDAY” to the SMS shortcode “347639” (“DISNEY”). Message and data rates may apply. The vacation package for four includes:
- airfare
- accommodations
- theme park tickets and more
You can also enter online HERE for free. Limit one entry per day. And while you’re there, you can take a listen to a few celebrities talk about what they’d do if they had an extra day at Disney. What would you do? Me…it’s a toss up between the Princess makeover and riding Space Mountain over and over again. Hey, it’s a day, so I guess I could do both!
Good Luck. And be sure to come back and let me know if you won!
Hello,
My friend referred me to your site, because I’m taking my family to Orlando, FL for Spring Break. I was able to get an inexpensive lodging, but am having a challenge to find reasonable tickets for Disney. We are a family of four; two adults and two children 10 and 8. Do you have any tips? Thank you for your help.

Hi Samuel,
Thank you for stopping by. 1.) Purchasing a travel package usually gets you the best deal on Disney tickets but since it looks like you already booked your hotel, there are other options. 2.) If you or your spouse are in any way associated with the military, I would go that route first. The local ITT office has discounted tickets for all sorts of popular attractions and destinations. 3.)If you’re a member of AAA, that would be another good resource. You can buy tickets from your local office at a discount. 4.) Another option would be to take a timeshare tour that offers tickets as an incentive. If you’ve never taken one of those tours before, brace yourself because they can be long and the sales people can be pushy. You have to go in there with a game plan and set on your objective. 5.) If you’re a member of Costco, you can also see what their package deals are or if they sell stand alone tickets (tickets without you booking a package). They have a travel section to their site and a number that you can call for help.
Hopefully one of these options works for you. Have a wonderful trip and let us know how you made out.
Happy Travels!
