The Final Countdown - 10 Days!

It's no secret that I'm crazy about Disney - as many of us are - but that passion is amplified when my annual trip to Disney World reaches what I like to call "The Final Countdown". In ten short (ugh, please be short!) days we will be arriving in Orlando for our ten-day vacation. To get myself through these next ten days, I've decided that I will be considering each day as if it were my actual trip and think about what I will be doing.

So let's try this out! This is day 10 on the countdown - we'll correspond that with day 1 of the vacation to keep things easy. Here's my day:

Friday September 16

• 7:30am - head to airport

• 9:30am - flight departs

• 12:54pm - flight lands

• 1:00pm to 3:00pm - grab rental car, pick up a few groceries, head to Contemporary resort and change into Mickey's-Not-So-Scary-Halloween (MNSSHP) party costumes

• 3:30pm - line up at entrance to Magic Kingdom

• 4:00pm - enter Magic Kingdom for early party access

• 4:00pm to 7:00pm - get party wristband and treat bag, Fastpasses for 7DMT, Space Mountain, and Haunted Mansion, 4:40pm reservation at Skipper Canteen, and grab party souvenirs/snacks if available before 7

• 7:00pm - official start to MNSSHP, head to Main Street Firehouse for Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom card, grab any souvenirs/snacks that weren't available before 7 ...and PARTY! Trick-or-treat, rides with low wait times, Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular show, Boo-to-You Parade, and Happy HalloWishes fireworks

I promise I will try to keep these posts short but I will also be sneaking in a little preview of our pre-park-opening Be Our Guest order so that you can see how the advance order system works!
