24-Hour Party to Kick Off 'Coolest Summer Ever' at Walt Disney World

As many of you have heard by now Disney World will once again be holding 24 all-night party at the Magic Kingdom May 22-23 from 6 a.m. - 6 a.m. to kick off what it has termed to be the "Coolest Summer Ever." The announcement was made this morning on Good Morning America.

For the third straight year in what now is a tradition of kicking off the summer will be a non-stop fun and park will not close for 24 hours. The announcement was made in Boston where the winter has been brutal. Some Disney magic was brought to them in the form of Olaf, who will be the host of 'Coolest Summer Ever', and 20 foot wide beach that included Cinderella Castle made out of sand, beach chairs, beach balls, and other summer fun reminders of Walt Disney World. Here is a clip of how it all came together in Boston for the announcement:
