Disney Honors Summer With An All-Nighter

ORLANDO (CBSMiami/AP) - Mickey Mouse and the rest of the Disney gang may soon need an extra strong cup of coffee—and so may park goers.

To honor the beginning of summer, three of Disney's theme parks will remain open for a full 24 hours on Memorial Day weekend.

George Kalogridis, Walt Disney World's President, made the announcement in Orlando on Thursday.

Orlando's Magic Kingdom Park, along with Disneyland Park and Disney Adventure Park in California, will remain open from 6 a.m. on May 24th to 6 a.m. May 25th.

Disney did something similar in 2012 to celebrate leap year.
