It varys. This has happened twice before. Last year, it was like a normal, midday crowd at 2AM.

So with MK opening at 6am on Friday, are they doing the welcome show at that time? I'll be very disappointed to miss the welcome show
Unknown at this time. Ive never been there at open on a 24 hour day.
It will be as busy as a normal morning. The crowd will ebb and flow with the usual comings and goings throughout the day.
Highly unlikely; The only ticket booth you'll probably find is the one at guest relations at the front of MK. TTC? no way.

I just found out that I'll actually be able to go this, but after reading this thread I'm kind of scared haha. How crowded would you all expect it to be later on in the day? I wont be up there until about 10 pm, and I'll be staying til 6am... Do you think it will be horrible?

Does anybody know if they will have a live feed/cam looking down Main Street from the train station again???
I see that everyone is asking about prior years but no one responded so here is my experience. We went last year in the evening and spent some time at DHS before heading over to MK. When we got there around 9:00pm or so, the lines for parking were ridiculous and the MK parking lot had reached capacity. We were redirected to the Epcot parking lot and saw that the monorail line was at least an hour wait (it was down the ramp and looped around a couple times), so we opted for the bus terminal. The ticket center buses were equally as long so we hopped on the bus to the Polynesian to take the resort monorail, which ended up saving us quite a bit of time. Once we got to the MK, we saw they had opened up the parking again ( go figure). The park was pretty packed but I don't remember having to wait insane times for the rides. We were able to do most of the things we wanted to and ended up leaving around 2am I think. Really the only thing that sticks out is just how bad it was getting in. We are still trying to decide if we want to do it again or not. I know this time to try and avoid the closing times of the other parks because it seems that a lot of people had the same idea we did, by going to another park first and then going to MK once they close.
Also I spoke to a friend who holds a decent corporate job with Disney Parks, and he said that date is specifically blacked out for him and his family. They are obviously expecting another huge turnout.

Based on the fact that they've been selling tix as late as 3 am these past few years, with multiple windows open, i'd say there's a high likelihood.

36 Celsius doesn't seem that bad.

Thanks for the list!
I was hoping we'd get a bit more, closer to the DL offerings anyway, but I see we aren't. Oh well I'm still going to enjoy my first 24 hour day!

Only three quick service areas for breakfast on Friday at 6am? Seems like it'd end up being way too busy. But then I see "snacks" and more locations open at 6am, so it's sort of confusing, to be honest. And Main Street Bakery [aka Starbucks] offers breakfast sandwhiches normally so I'd think they would be listed as breakfast ...
Meh to the treats to be honest, but I still plan to enjoy the 24 hour party.

Love has to work Friday (of course) and I'm trying to convince him we should head out in the evening but I don't think he's buying it. I mean just because he gets up for work at 5:30am and then working 8 hours shouldn't exclude the possibility of then driving over an hour to Disney and hanging out until 2am or so, right? I love MK at night and I'd love to be there late. This would totally be my kind of thing but...like I said, I doubt Love is going to be up for it.
