Disney Bucket List

[Irish_Mike]

So, after I got accepted into the college program last week goodvibes), I decided that I wanted to create a Disney Bucket list to make sure I know some of the big things that I want to get done in my six months down there.

Because, you know. Six months in Disney is not close enough to getting to do everything.

So, I'd like your help! I haven't been down to Disney/Orlando area since 2010, so I know that a lot has changed in the past four years, and even though I've read about changes, I know there is still a bunch that I don't know. So, feel free to suggest things to add to my list! I'll add some of the current highlights in a quote below, with the number beforehand the number they are on my list.

Thanks in advance

1.) Eat at Be Our Guest
3.) Tell a guest what time the 3PM Parade Is
11.) Ride Space Mountain with the Lights on
13.) Watch Wishes from every land in the Magic Kingdom
18.) Do the Wild Africa Trek
27.) See Wishes from Ohana's
35.) Get a hair cut in the MK Service Tunnels
40.) Four Parks in 1 Day
42.) Drink Starbucks while strolling down Main Street singing a jolly tune
44.) See Hoop-De-Doo Review
50.) Attend Star Wars Weekend
51.) Kitchen Sink Challenge

It would be easier if you posted your complete list. But, I'll add:

~ eat sushi at a bowling alley (Splitsville - actually very good sushi!) - they have CM discounts!
~ walk around Celebration and go to the Farmer's Market on a Sunday
~ eat a Subway sandwich down in the tunnels
~ order your CM MagicBand as soon as possible and book FPs 7 days before you plan on playing in the parks
~ meet the President of WDW Parks
~ meet The Boss (Mickey) when he is actually talking at TST

It's non Disney but be sure to catch a rocket launch from Kennedy Space Center. That IMO should be on every ones bucket list period.

Get a picture in front of the castle with only you in it

Will you be there during the Christmas season? If so, that can add a whole lot of seasonal only things.

Do tell how this will be happening? I am a Floridian the shuttle program has ended. No launches as of now unless you mean satellites etc.

February - August, with a possibility of extending over the fall semester.

Extending will keep you there until the first few days in January!

Sorry for the delay on this.

Go to Kennedy Space Center at at the bottom it lists when the next launch is scheduled at Kennedy, click on that for more information on what the mission is about. As you said no more Shuttles but Rockets with Satellites etc. I believe they had one last Wed (Oct 29), next one is scheduled in about a month. Even a rocket launch is an amazing sight.

Back in Jan 2002 I saw a night launch of a rocket and in March 2008 I saw the night launch of the Shuttle Endeavour on STS 123.
