14 – Space Mountain with the Lights On Not an experience that is easy to come by, but during specialty events or times when Space Mountain is malfunctioning, guests who are riding the TTA, can sneak a peek at what Space Mountain looks like with the lights on! The only occasion I was able to see this was during the 24 Hour Event in May, 20

13 – Classic Snacks This is bucket list item that we cross off on every visit to the park.  We can’t make it through Adventureland without getting a Citrus Swirl AND a Dole Whip, nor can I make it past the cart in Frontierland without grabbing a Mickey Pretzel and some dipping cheese.  Somewhere along the way, at least one member of the g

12 – runDisney Event This writer has recently taken up participating in runDisney events and there is nothing more special to being able to run through one of the Disney parks – so far, I’ve been able to take Epcot and the Studios, but I am most excited about the Half Marathon in January when I get to run through the Magic Kingdom and Cin

11 – Special Event We highly recommend checking out one of the specialty parties at the Magic Kingdom each year. Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party takes over the park on select nights from early September through Halloween, while Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party takes residence from early November through Christmas – both are wonde

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. Two of our favorite places to watch the fireworks from are at Ohana at the Polynesian – the restaurant serves an AMAZING dinner, but they also t

6 – Become a Part of the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor Despite our best efforts, we have not become part of the show at the Laugh Floor. Another attraction that we go to every time we are in the park, we have never been selected as “That Guy” or been asked to think of a number or even had one of our jokes shared. Oh, well, since the show is
