After years and years of visiting the Magic Kingdom, we happened to visit one fall on daylight savings time Sunday. Of course, we forgot it was daylight savings time, so we were very early!! But it was very worth it when we discovered they have an “opening the park” show. It was fabulous!! ALL of the characters arrive on the train at Main Street Station and do an amazing song and dance number. I highly recomment you arrive early so you are in the holding area before the park opens for the show. (The area after the turnstile, but before the train bridges gate.) We would’ve never known they had this if it weren’t daylights savings day. :) Enjoy!

Hi Marie,
I serve with Jeanne in the stake Primary – I love your web site. I am a total Disney fanatic! I have been there over 25 times at lease! We are headed there next month!

I get at least 1 to 2 calls a month of people wanting tips for Disneyland – I just want to say your tips are great! This was so fun to read about your trip at the happiest place on Earth!

You have a great web site!

We’re actually going to Disneyland…on FRIDAY! Woo Hoo! We are so excited – and we’ll definitely keep your tips in mind.

You’re right about the red corn dog truck on main street. I don’t even like corn dogs and I like THOSE corn dogs. ;)

Too bad the food prices are like eating at fancy restaurants every meal…

Hubby and I have been to Disney World 3 times, and my choice of footwear is sport sandals. I love Splash Mountain, but I HATE having wet running shoes – they take forever to dry! I try to wear clothes that will dry quickly too – there’s nothing worse than walking around with a tell-tale wet bum for half of the day! I’m also not much of a hat person, but I always wear one at Disney. It keeps me cool, from getting sunburned, and again, it helps me from looking like a drowned rat after Splash Mountain! ;)

If we’re staying at a Disney hotel, we make use of the option to have our Disney purchases sent from the store to our hotel at the end of the day – it saves us from having to carry around bags all day!

We are going to Orlando next month for our Honeymoon. I have been to Disney World many times (as a child), but my fiance has not. We are so looking forward to all of the fun at the ammusement parks and enjoying the night life too. We expect the bring back many souveniors and gifts for our parents and other family members who are generously paying for our trip. But since, we are flying we will ship these extra items home via UPS. We will overnight them the day before we leave.

6 – The fanny pack is the official fashion accessory of the Magic Kingdom. I declared it so when we were there in February.

8 – we were told that the Monte Cristo sandwiches WERE NO LONGER SERVED AT DISNEYWORLD. An employee told me that when I asked where we could get one. I had one when we visited Disney when I was 10 years old and it made such an impact that it was one of the things we were looking forward to. I am so bummed that I was misinformed! Maybe next time . . . until then, I’ll just have to indulge in the Bennigan’s version.

Such great additions to the Must Haves!

For sure use all the Fast Passes! Especially for California Screamin’ and Indian Jones.

And we’ve heard of Ride Max before and didn’t think we needed it. But we’ll be doing it for sure next time!
