Entering the Magic Kingdom!

[kaybird]

Told you all I was excited, so sharing some of my loves for WDW with a little of what we are looking forward to.

MK! Can't wait to see the new plantings and paths around the hub! We have been watching the progress over the last year, and will be glad to walk through and see the progress since December.

7DMT! Love this new gem! Who doesn't want to walk around the mountain, and down into THE ACTUAL MINE!!! The video that is shot while you are on the ride is so cool, and regardless of what others say, this ride is FAST! Love the dwarves! (In the Mine! In the Mine!)

FOOD!!! BOG lunch on our first day! I dream often of the Slow roasted pork, and in 22 days it will be all mine! Also can't wait for the delicious Pot roast mac n cheese at Friar's nook, and the Mango gelato at Pinocchios.

FP+ kiosk. We use the one near Philharmagic most, find it to move rather quickly. Another great one is in the pathway between Adventureland and Frontierland. We get 4th, 5th, and sometimes 6th fairly regularly in MK.

Peter Pan! We have not gotten through the whole new interactive standby yet, as the crowds were low last trip and it wasn't needed. Hoping to see it all this trip.

Probably enough for now, "You've got a friend in me!"

Thanks for sharing!!!

I too am excited to see the new Hub area. There wasn't much to see other than drained moats and construction walls last August when we were there, so seeing some of it completed with plantings in place will be a wonderful treat.

7DMT, I LOVE the ride, it is so smooth. I do wish there were a bit more swinging action to the cars, it is quite a bit more timid than I expected, and I wish the lap bars were just a bit wider, they are a mighty tight fit on my legs, and while I am a big guy, I'm not THAT big. Disney has always been very good as far as accommodating Pooh sized riders, this one misses the mark a bit.

Love the food at Disney for the most part. BOG didn't really do it for my family, but the Mango Gelato is a treat, as are the LaFews Brews, and the fish and chips at Columbia Harbor House and . . .. lol

We haven't seen the new interactive queue at Peter Pan at all, and are def looking forward to it.

I saw a post on fb in the sorcerers helpers group today of pictures taken of the afternoon parade from the top floor of the Columbia Harbor House. I think we may need to arrange to watch the parade from there at least one time this trip. The view looks great, and you can have a late lunch, and enjoy the food / air conditioning while watching. Looks like a real treat!

Is the hub going to be complete by December?

Well if you want an idea of what is currently looks like in the new hub area, just go to a park where homeless people roam. I swear, every time I walk by new grassy area, I see people just flopped down on the ground sleeping. it looks really bad. Get there early if you want to appreciate what they have done so far.

So I keep hearing about this pot roast mac and cheese and I'm really thinking I need to incorporate this into my day! You all make it sound so good!

It was nice to read your post and your excitement!

I really want to see the new hub area! I've only seen MK with construction walls up! I'm looking forward to PhilharMagic and the Peter Pan queue! I did FP! That ride was surprisingly AWESOME!!!!! I wish I had booked 20 FPs! I plan to ride it around 9:30-10:00 on a 9:00 opening day! I didn't do People Mover or the Hall of Presidents so I'm looking forward to them both.

I'm sad the POTC is closed, but I plan to use the 4 or 5 rides we used there on finding a new ride to love!

I haven't seen the MSEP either so that is tops on the list!

I particularly enjoy the people mover after dark! Hall of Presidents, I love, DS not so much, but it is 20 minutes of nap time for him lol. MSEP, I remember seeing as a kid, so it is a very special parade for me, brings back lots of memories.

The pot roast Mac n Cheese is Really GOOD! It was pouring down rain when we got it, and really hit the spot!

My kids don't know we're going back and they were in the backseat talking about the presidents and it was just chuckling inside thinking about them seeing this at Disney. If they get bored I'll blame that conversation for why I picked it! lol

I only caught glimpses during our last trip so I'm excited to see it all the way through.

People mover and BTMRR are so much better at night!

I follow the sorcerers helpers FB page too and thought the same thing about trying to watch the parade from the Columbia Harbor House!!
