Walt Disney World 24-Hour Party Trip Report
Over Memorial Day weekend, we headed down to Walt Disney World for the 24-Hour Party, Star Wars Weekends, and just some general good times. During our first trip to Walt Disney World of the year, we dined at a variety of restaurants including Chef Mickey’s, Cinderella’s Royal Table, both Star Wars Character Meals, and more! We also took a ton of photos, and tried out new-to-us things at Walt Disney World.
This trip report takes a look at our experiences during our 5-day Memorial Day weekend trip. This trip report has all of the classic elements of a Bricker trip report: little sleep, lots of photos, tons of eating, and an incredible adventure with Nicolas Cage to kill the ghost of Osama bin Laden. Okay, that reference probably only made sense to SNL fans, sorry, but it if awkward references and unfunny jokes aren’t your thing, it’s probably time to close out this browser tab!

I’ve stayed at both the DoubleTree and Hilton in Downtown Disney. I enjoyed the Hilton more, even though it’s not a “suite” hotel. And the extra magic hours certainly help. 😉
I love all of your trip reports! I hope I win! 🙂
Yeah for new trip reports! I’ve been wanting to hear about the 24 hr event!
Really looking forward for the Chef Mickey’s and the Cinderella’s Royal Table reviews! 🙂
This would be so great – thanks for offering it!
Looking forward to the trip report!
Comment comment.
Never been to a 24-hour party — very interested in hearing how you stayed awake!
Love your blog, *especially* the photos. Your restaurant reviews are spectacularly detailed and so helpful; especially love when you include pictures of your entree. I learned about the relatively unknown ‘quiet’ area in Columbia Harbour House on your blog & it was my sanctuary on a 9-crowd MK day.
You have the best Disney blog out there. *High Five* 🙂
Love that you do such great give aways!!!!
Love your trip reports! I hope there is a 24 hour party next May, I hope to be there!
I know you guys own at Saratoga and I’m looking into purchasing a small number of points there, but I just don’t know if risking having to stay in the DTD area is worth it. I miss Pleasure Island. Lately I’ve been splurging on Epcot resorts, but I can’t do that forever (especially once I start a family!… Of course then, Pleasure Island will be missed for multiple reasons and it won’t matter that it isn’t there any more)
Would love to do the 24 hour party! Although we will be waiting until our kiddos are older 🙂
Love your trip reports! Can’t wait to read about your experience with the 24 hour party – attending one of these events is on my dream Disney bucket list!
Great giveaway! I really enjoy reading the trip reports.
Looking forward to reading it and seeing all your pictures! I would love to be able to do a 24hr event!
Would be awesome to win this; thanks for the opportunity!!!!!
I have never eaten at Earl of Sandwich, but would love to give it a try because of all of the great things that I have heard about it! Thanks for the trip report and giveaway!!
I have to chuckle–I got an email notification regarding these new comments and wondered why 2 of you mentioned Earl of Sandwich.
Then I realized I didn’t change that field when I copied over the Rafflecopter widget from the last contest. Oops!
I am so excited! I love your trip reports!
I have actually never eaten at Earl of Sandwich! I’d certainly love to, though, since i hear good things. Perhaps if i win the giveaway (i hope i hope! but i thankfully won the lovely LeSportsac bag and LOVE IT! so my luck has most likely run out) i can eat there on my next trip 🙂
So excited! Love the pics on here!!
