It’s almost been a week since we last stepped foot in one of the Disney World parks (and we’ve been missing it EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.)!
Cinderella Castle
And, we’re making our must-do list of things to do, see, and eat once the parks open up again (so you can come along with us, of course)!
Take in the Parks and All Their Magic
Since we’re having to stay away from one of our favorite places in the world for so long, that Disney magic is going to be even more amazing once we get to experience it again! We’re talking about that feeling when you listen to the ragtime music on Main Street, U.S.A. and smell the candy and popcorn,…

…or the moment you look up in awe at the floating rocks in Pandora,…

Cry Puddles of Happy Tears at the Disney Parades and Fireworks

Hug ALL the Disney Characters
Disney’s magic not only comes from the atmosphere, the shows, the food, and the attractions, but the characters have our hearts too! Even though we might have to wait a little while longer to be able to hug them with everything going on right now, the moment we we get to see them will make every second of waiting worth it. Whether you love hearing about life under the sea from Ariel,…
Ariel
…a galaxy far, far away from Chewbacca,…

…what it’s like to be a toy from Jessie,…

…or how the magic was created in the Disney Parks with Mickey, those meet-and-greets and hugs are full of happiness and love.

It’s fine, we’re just getting a lil teary thinking about it…
Thank Cast and Crew Members
And, quite possibly the MOST important thing on our must-do list is thank the Cast and Crew Members who do everything they can to make our vacations joyful. They greet you with such warm smiles,…
Walt Disney World Cast Members
…help make fun and goofy memories with you,…
Hi Zero!!
…and sprinkle pixie dust on every aspect of your trip to Disney World. The parks wouldn’t be the same without them, and we think they deserve a MASSIVE round of applause!!

R of the R with its unfortunate daily shutdowns/closures would be mine. Praying the minds behind the ride are working from home or somewhere figuring out how to fix the software shutdowns. Using this downtime to fix one of the most amazing rides would be such a accomplishment !! I met a person 10 days ago who came from Argentina mainly to ride it and was in line with me waiting for a chance as shutdown delayed her boarding group. I know complexity of this nature results in issues, just would have thought 4 mos in they would have been resolved/minimized.
Another Tip Is Always Wash Your Hands with Hand Gel Before & After You Go on the Rides & Wash Your Hands in Diner Restrooms Before You Have a Snack or Meal.
