Accepted, Roommate, and Date

Well it seems all of the forms have been submitted, I've been accepted in attractions, got a roommate (Logan Todd Heap.. yes two Logans this will be interesting), selected my arrival date of August 9th. Now here comes the wait. I'll blog more when I get close to heading to Orlando for a full semester!

A Tour of the Magic Kingdom

So you want to do the Magic Kingdom in one day, enjoy the most attractions possible and save some money in the process? No problem. You should note this tour does not include any character greetings and some extremely important info: you must arrive at park opening or the plan will not even come close to working. This tour is designed for crowd levels of 8-10 and assumes the park is open 9am-11pm/12am and there are 2 electrical parades (9pm and 11pm).

Check out the shops as you exit the park, don't worry they usually stay open after closing!

The attractions are listed in a recommended order in each section, FP times may vary each visit so use your discretion at the order in which you hit the attractions in each section. Usually cast members will allow you to use your FP after they expire, but sometimes they don't so plan accordingly! Try your best not to go into Fantasyland from 1pm - 3pm or you will regret it for the rest of your life and have painful scars from stroller wars. Take the time on Tom Sawyer's Island to grab a soda and relax a bit before heading back to the real world of the Magic Kingdom. You should arrive at the park no later than 8:30am so wake-up extra early and grab breakfast to go. If your park attendance isn't estimated at being 8-10 then you can still use the plan but don't live by it and use some spontaneity as lines will be substantially shorter.

Have a magical day!
