Figment's Second 24-Hour Day in Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure, 2015
Figment had a great time at the Rock Your Disney Side 24-Hour Day in 2014, so he decided he'd go back for the 24-Hour Day in 2015. This year, Disneyland Resort announced that the 24-Hour Day would be the Kickoff to the Diamond Anniversary Celebration!
Thursday, May 21, 2015 - Disneyland Park closed early on Thursday for the media preview. Figment knew the park would be closing at 6:00 pm beforehand, but he was kind of surprised to find out that Critter Country, New Orleans Square, and Frontierland would be closing at 4:00 pm and that Adventureland would close at 5:00 pm.
By Thursday, most of the decor was already up in the resorts. Figment really liked the looks of the bunting and other glittering decorations. He liked the sparkling buttons on Mickey and Olaf posters/ads on the Ticket Booths.
Disneyland had a lot of buntings and banners everywhere!
Even Carthay Circle was all decked out!
Figment had read that the Mad T Party might be having a soft-opening that evening at DCA, so he headed over there a little before 6:00 pm. Sure enough, the band came on at 6:00 pm. The party no longer opens with Tweedle Dee and Dum at the entrance inviting guests to join them. The band comes onto the stage and performs a new group of songs (Figment saw the first set three times and it was the same all three times). After the band finishes, the Mad Hatter introduces the Tweedles who appear on the stage opposite of the band (the stage used by the performing arts groups). The Tweedles talk for a bit and then introduce the Hottest Deck in Town.
After that, Figment headed off to dinner (Rainforest Cafe) and then it was time to go to sleep early because the next day was going to start EARLY!
