    The one thing my kids (ages 11 and 15) wish for is to be the "family of the day" at the magic kingdom opening. in research I have only found it is luck, and to be at the park 2 hours early? Any tips? Any other way?

    Hi, Ronald! Your research is correct! It is possible to be in the opening ceremonies and parades.  What's not possible is to plan being in them.   My family and I were lucky enough to be asked to be in Mickey's Jammin' Jungle parade in October 2010.  We rode in Mickey's vehicle and were so excited to see everyone's faces light up as Mickey went by them.  It happened because we were in the right place at the right time (my kids were pin trading with the Cast Member that picked us) with the right number of people.  It's random.  There's no sign-up, waiting list, or Cast Member to contact.  It's just a big dose of pixie dust for the lucky ones that are chosen!  Have a Magical vacation!
