Happy Leap Day, everyone!

It’s February 29th, the special day that shows up on our calendars only once every four years. But, how did Leap Year come about and why do we need a Leap Day?

Check out the short video here below created by C.G.P. Grey called “What is a Leap Year?” which gives us the real scoop on this whole Leap thing.

The new year also happens to be a Leap Year, which means we’ll magically get get an extra day this year on February 29, 2012.

In honor of Leap Day this year, Disney has announced their One More Disney Day promotion where both the Magic Kingdom theme park at Disney World in Orlando, FL, and the Disneyland park at Disneyland in Anaheim, CA, will stay open for 24 hours straight on Leap Day!
