Hunters Sweet 16 and Pulling an All Nighter at the Magic Kingdom!
What do you get a young man about to turn 16 given the fact that hes spent 13 out of 15 of his birthdays at Walt Disney World?
A brand spanking new car? 
Im sure that hed love that but that aint happening. A used one maybe but not a new one. Daddy is next in line for a new vehicle. A Sweet 16 Party to rival those on MTV? 
Yeah right! That aint happening either. So, if hes not getting a new car and hes not getting a big blow out party, what about 24 hours in the Magic Kingdom? 
Yeah, that could happen. No, seriously. It can happen! Disney made an announcement that, on May 24th, they are keeping the Magic Kingdom open 24 hours!
For months and months, I had been wracking my brain trying to figure out something special to do while at Walt Disney World and when Disney made the Monsterous Summer announcement, I knew that it was the perfect solution to our problem. Yay Disney!
For those of you who didnt see the official announcement, check it out:

Honestly, Im pretty sure that were going to tucker out way before they close the gates at 6 a.m. but Im thinking that well try and stick it out for as long as we can.
Mama will probably be getting on a bus as soon as we finish up dinner. Well play that by ear.
As far as what we want to see and do that day, the answer is EVERYTHING we possibly can. Our vacation plans include two days at the Magic Kingdom so we know if we miss something, well be able to see it on Day 2. However, there are some things worth seeing twice. Such as:
I mean, come one, who can pass up seeing little piggies rolling around in the mud:
A hairy legged drunk man:
Cute puppies tempting men in the slammer:
and, last but certainly not least, this hunka hunka:
Other not to be missed and worthy to be seen multiple times are:
and:
Oh we certainly cant forget the new Fantasyland! Theyve done a lot of construction in a year and we can hardly wait to see it!
The last time we were there, the only thing that was open were the two Dumbos and the bathroom nearby. Remember...John went on a covert mission and took pics inside the mens room.
We have dinner reservations at The Wave. You know, thats the restaurant that John had never heard of despite the fact that he looked at the menu and chose it.
This will be our first time eating at The Wave and, after reading several of your reviews and looking at your pictures, Im glad that it made the list of new restaurants to try.
Mama has never been to the Contemporary Resort and its been quite some time that weve made the walk over from the park to have dinner at Chef Mickeys. I wonder what shell think when she sees the monorail zoom through the resort?
I need to look into the activities that will be taking place at the Magic Kingdom on the 24th to see what all is going to be going on. I think that I remember there would be dance parties going on. Yall know how we love to get our groove on! Were going to be busting moves left and right and back to the left again! Mind you, I said that we like to dance. I never said that were good at it.
Im pretty darn sure that John, Hunter and I wont stick it out until they shut it down but well probably give it a whirl!
**Up next: Look out! Theres a golf ball coming straight for ya!

I can't wait to go and cant wait to hear about your experience this time! 
Your money growing on trees comment made me laugh outloud. That's one of the things that John and Jesse joke around about. They were talking one day and Jesse said "what, you don't have a money tree?" When they came to visit at Christmas, John got one of our green sticks that we use to tie our tomatos to in the garden and put it right beside the house. It was nothing but a green bare stick. John hung a sign on it saying "this money tree has been stripped bare". 
I kind of wanted to do Cape May so I can check out the Beach Club Resort.
