11 – Original Attractions There is something special about visiting an attraction that has been there since the beginning – we love taking a ride on the Carousel of Progress or climbing the steps of the Swiss Family Treehouse. It just feels different. There is nothing wrong with the newer attractions, but we enjoy seeing the history by ta

10 – Interactive Activity Park guests can participate in a variety of interactive experiences to deepen their enjoyment of the park. We love playing Sorcerer’s of the Magic Kingdom when we visit because we can collect the spell cards (FOR FREE) and we don’t have to dedicate any portion of our time to do it – we can play for as long or as

8 – Only Do Character Greetings Make your next trip special and spend a day where you only get in lines and meet the inhabitants of the Magic Kingdom. We have not done this either, but there are more than enough characters roaming the parks that you can spend all day meeting them! This writer may just have to plan a research trip in the n

7 – Experience Wishes from Outside the Park Wishes? From outside the park? How so? There are many places that guests can see Wishes and not have to be trying to get the best place on Main Street.

Oh, well, since the show is

4 – Experience the Kiss Good Night After the official closing time of the park, after Wishes and Celebrate the Magic, guests who are still lingering in the Magic Kingdom can experience the Kiss Good Night.

3 – Early Morning/Late Night Ride on Splash Mountain We have a huge spot in our heart for Splash Mountain.  We will always ride it whenever we visit the park, but some of the most memorable rides on Splash Mountain have been early in the morning while the sun is still low over Tomorrowland and blocked by Cinderella Castle or late at night
