Inside of a month now! Nice!!!!Finally, I pre-purchased Memory Maker. Just 27 more days!
I've kind of gone in cycles about my favorite park too. For a while it was MGM... yes, it was that long ago. But you know, back when I was "too old" for MK but not really old enough to get much out of EPCOT. It had the thrill rides...Magic Kingdom has really grown on me during our last two trips – while my favorite park has always been Epcot, Magic Kingdom’s attractions and nighttime spectaculars continue to grab more and more of our attention. Most importantly, as Magic Kingdom is Anika’s favorite park, I've planned for us to spend a lot of time there.
But then I fell in love with EPCOT. It was my favorite park for a while.
But now I've kind of gone full circle and I'm back to MK. I just can't ever get enough time there.
Ok, I'm still a sucker for those singing birds. But I'm right there with you on the others. If it weren't for the kids, there's no way we'd do Tomorrowland Speedway. In fact, I wish they'd just do us a favor and make it go away!There are very few attractions that we won’t do during this trip given its length; however, there are a few things that won’t make the list: The Enchanted Tiki Room (I think Anika will only do this about once every ten years), the Tomorrowland Speedway (seeing it from the Peoplemover is close enough), and, of course, Stich’s Great Escape (seriously, who does that attraction?! ).
I seriously don’t know why people skip this. Foolish, foolish people….
Oh, you definitely have to do both of those!!!!I will give myself bonus points if (1) I get a picture of myself sprawled in Gaston’s chair and (2) I follow up a trip into the tavern with meeting Gaston himself. Poor Anika has no idea what she’s up against with all the character meets I have “planned”!
And the bonus points should be if you're gnawing on a pork shank while sprawled in Gaston's chair.
That should be fun!TALKING MICKEY MOUSE!!! (Don’t worry – I’ve already warned Anika that this is a must-do on the agenda.)
Good choice!The rides I’m most looking forward to riding at night include Dumbo:
Even better choice!As well as, “The wildest ride in the wilderness!”
While other shows (Illuminations, I'm looking at you) tend to get a little long in the tooth and stale to me after I've seen them so many times, Wishes just gets better every time I see it. I just don't know what it is, but it hits you right in the gut.I love, love, love Wishes. I saw it for the first time during our 2012 trip and can't believe I missed it on all of our prior trips!
I hope he does!!! It is certainly hard to resist all the pixie dust!I plan for us to spend Anika’s birthday in Magic Kingdom – there is no better place on your birthday than your favorite Disney park! I’m also very excited to share Magic Kingdom with our Uncle Wade – he’s been to Epcot a few times and Hollywood Studios (then MGM) once, but he’s never been in Magic Kingdom. I hope he enjoys all the magic!
