Hi Michelle! Welcome back to planDisney.
Oh Boy! Your magical Holiday is only a few short days away at
The World's Most Magical Place on Earth. I love reading that you plan to get an early start at
Magic Kingdom Park and
Disney's Hollywood Studios. On the day of your Magic Kingdom Park theme park reservation, remember you can join the
virtual queue to experience
TRON Lightcycle / Run Presented by Enterprise® at 7:00 AM. If you miss out in the morning, you can try again at 1:00 PM from inside the theme park.
When I stay off-property, I like to plan my arrival an hour before the theme park is set to open. This strategy is critical to make rope drops at Magic Kingdom Park to allow time for parking or rideshare dropoffs and transportation via the ferry boat or monorail to the park entrance. Both of these parks will normally start "tapping" guests into the park early and allow guests to hang out near the main entrance. This is my opportunity to stop by
The Trolley Car Café or the
Main Street Bakery for my morning cup of coffee.
Plan to stay late at both of these parks to catch the nighttime spectaculars. Over at Magic Kingdom Park, the fan-favorite
Happily Ever After is back with projections all the way down Main Street U.S.A. Finish your night with the battle between good and evil during
Fantasmic! at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Keeping it Magical,
Cindy
