What’s On Your Disney World Bucket List?

Whether you’ve been once or 20 times... and I still have a running list of things I want to squeeze in on my next (or next after that) visit. Here is what’s on my current Disney World bucket list. Tell us in the comments what’s on yours, too! 1. Fine Dining  I have 4 children so fine dining hasn’t been a priority.

Early Morning Magic: Magic Kingdom

There are a lot of hard ticket events going on at Walt Disney World these days.  If you have the extra budget to play with, it can be hard to choose which one is right for you.  On a recent trip, we opted to splurge on the Early Morning Magic at the Magic Kingdom which takes place in Fantasyland. We had to be up bright and early, but thankfully we were staying nearby at Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort so it was only a 15 minute walk from our room to the front gates to check in.  The event started at 7:45am, before the Magic Kingdom opened to the rest of the days' guests. It was a little rough to get up, but if there's ever a reason to wake up at 6:30am, it is Disney!  After our quick walk over we arrived right around 7:45am and were quickly through the turnstiles and heading down Main Street, U.S.A. The crowds heading towards the castle Once we reached the hub area things really opened up and it was amazing to see such an empty Magic Kingdom....
