IT’S KEYS TO THE KINGDOM DAY!
When I booked this ridiculously long trip, I decided this was the perfect trip to finally go on this much-talked-about tour. I’ve read about it on many trip reports and can’t wait to experience it first-hand. As a bonus, our tour starts at 8:30 so we can get into the Magic Kingdom early!
Along with hearing tidbits and trivia and going backstage, I’m also really excited that the tour includes lunch at Columbia Harbor House! We ate here several years ago, but I’m looking forward to trying one of the sandwiches I’ve heard so much about. I think it should be a great first tour for us, especially now that we've been on quite a few trips.
After our tour we have Fastpasses that I’M really excited about… Anika, not so much. I did warn her that I booked these characters Fastpasses (and I think she’ll forgive me after the Universal and Grand Floridian surprises ).
Up first is our meet with (hopefully talking! ) Mickey Mouse! Given our opportunities to ride plenty of headliners throughout the trip, I wanted to make sure we met talking Mickey. Our next Fastpass is the hardest to obtain in Walt Disney World – we’ll be meeting with Scandinavian royalty! As we’re Scandinavian ourselves, I thought it was only right to meet Princess Anna and Queen Elsa. It helped that this Fastpass was near the end of our trip – I had my pick of times, and as you can see, it is right after our meeting with Mickey Mouse. If we’re there right on time and get through the line quickly, we may sneak through to Frontierland to watch the Festival of Fantasy parade again.
My third Fastpass of the day is for the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train – I picked this both because I wanted another chance to ride it and also because it’s a short ride once you get through the line. We’ll need to boogie out of Magic Kingdom quickly to make it to our Epcot ADR!
Dinner tonight is another Anika choice, Le Cellier. Our appetizers were great last time, but it will be fun to try a steak. I think we’re planning to split a steak so we can also order a few appetizers.
It’s extra magic hours at Epcot tonight, so we’ll likely stick around for a bit. We may skip out on watching Illuminations in order to ride a few attractions (especially since we’d seen it just two days before). I’m hoping to ride either Test Track or Soarin’ this evening – maybe both!
I’ll also make sure to knock a few of the must-do snacks off the list tonight , including hitting up the caramel shop in Germany. It seems to be much more quiet during extra magic hours than during the day. As a plus, the caramel treats shouldn’t melt immediately as it won’t be 90 degrees! (At least, I hope not!)
Once we’ve had our fill of snacks and attractions and wandering, we’ll head out for the night.
