Magic Kingdom Tips & Tricks Tuesday
For the first ever Tips & Tricks Tuesday on Making The Madness Magical, we will be focusing on.......the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World!! The Magic Kingdom is synonymous with Disney. Whether it be Disney Word, Disneyland or any of the other Disney Parks around the world. So today I'm going to be sharing some of the tips and tricks my family and I have picked up over the years!
Main Street, U.S.A Tips & Tricks
The Magic Kingdom Park is separated into seven lands, Main Street U.S.A, Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, Now one unique thing is that the layout of the park is like a wheel, so the castle acts like the wheel and the pathways to the different lands are the "spokes". Okay let's start off with Main Street first, because that is the first land you will come to upon entering the Magic Kingdom. Le's get started!
Our first tip is plan to do your shopping during a parade or in the early afternoon as opposed to at the day’s end. Why? Because the shops are less crowded and you won’t have to fight the crowds at the end of the day. Trust me the Main Street shops at night when everyone is making their way out is horrendous and not worth the stress! Also another little tidbit that you should know, is that if you are staying at a resort on Disney property, you have the option to send whatever you buy back to your resort and just pick it up at the gift shop when you get back. That way you aren't lugging heavy bags around the park all day. Just make sure that it IS NOT your last day there.
One of my favorite things about the Magic Kingdom, is the Walt Disney World Railroad! The railroad has three stops and they are: Frontierland, Fantasyland and you guessed it Main Street. This is a great way to get acquainted with the Magic Kingdom if you’ve never been before, but it’s also a fantastic way to relax and you get a nice breeze on those hot Florida days. Beware though, the railroad doesn’t run during firework presentations so plan accordingly!
Another way to get from one end of Main Street to the other, is by taking one of the Main Street vehicles. These vehicles include a Horse-Drawn Street Car, a Jitney, which is an early automobile without a roof, a Fire Engine, a replica of the very first fire truck and an Omnibus, a gas-powered, open-air 2-story bus. Now keep in mind that this is a one-way trips so once you get to where the vehicle stops you will be asked to hop off. That is all of the helpful tips I can think of for Main Street, U.S.A, so if you have any let me know!! Next up will be Adventureland!
Frontierland Tips & Tricks
Frontierland takes you all the way back to the American move out west during the 1700s and the 1800s. From the beautiful mountain ranges, raging waters, unexplored caves and abandon forts there is no shortage of fun to be had here by all.
The first tip I have is for one of the most popular rides in Frontierland and that is Splash Mountain. AS most of you know there is a fifty percent chance that you will get DRENCHED on this ride. Well if you’re not a fan of walking around in wet clothes fear no more, I got you covered! The first thing you can do is put an extra set of clothes in a couple of plastic bag (or one of the big Disney merchandise bags work wonderfully) and then change after you get off the ride…OR you could just sit on the left side of the log. What? Sitting of the left side of the ride? Yup if you sit on the left side you’ll still get a bit wet, but you won’t get as wet as what you would if you sat on the right.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is another extremely popular attraction in Frontierland and because of that the line tends to be very long. If this attraction is one of your must dos then my suggestion would be to hit this ride during the Festival of Fantasy parade! I’m telling you to do during the parade because most families will be watching that, which means you will have little to no waiting and it is magical!!
The Country Bear Jamboree is one of the less popular attractions, but if you’ve never been on it before check it out! One thing though is that if you do decide to watch it, just know that this attraction opens at 10 a.m. everyday even though the rest of the park opens earlier in the day.
Magic Kingdom Fun Fact Friday
The Magic Kingdom is full of hidden gems and fun little secrets to discover. Through the day I will be posting and talking about all the different tidbits about the different lands in the Magic Kingdom. Now hopefully these will be fun facts that you don't/didn't know already, so lets get started!
Storybook Circus Fun Fact
As I mentioned in my last post. Disney is very good at paying attention to detail. Whether you notice it or not, the details are there. This next fun fact is in Storybook Circus at Barnstormer and is a hidden nod to what was previously there beforehand. Just after you enter the queue for Barnstormer, all you need to do to find this, is turn around and look up at the back of the attraction’s sign. You might notice that it looks pretty chopped up. That is because it was previously the original sign for Wiseacre Farm when Storybook Circus was still called Mickey’s Toontown.
What's New Wednesday
I'm back! With that being said, I want to start a new series or theme for Wednesday and this new series will be called...What's New Wednesday!!
What's New Wednesday will be a weekly roundup that consists of all the new happenings coming and going at the Walt Disney World Resort. I will cover everything from attraction closings, refurbishments, character meet and greets, which characters we'll be saying so long to (whether it be for a short time or for good), restaurant's, events and all those other things we need to know about in order to have the best vacation ever at The Happiest Place on Earth!
Dream Along With Mickey
In the first instalment of What’s New Wednesday we will be saying goodbye to one of the most popular stage shows at the Walt Disney World Resort, Dream Along With Mickey. With an incredible run of practically 9 years (hands down making it the longest running Castle Forecourt Stage show in the history of the park) in September, the time for an update has come.
This summer, the all-new live stage show “Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire” will grace the Castle Forecourt stage at the Magic Kingdom in the Walt Disney World Resort with magic, music and merriment! With the marvelous backdrop of Cinderella Castle, Mickey and his friends will welcome some beloved characters from a few of Disney’s newest classics: “The Princess and the Frog,” “Tangled” and “Frozen.”
In the new show called “Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire,” Mickey and his troupe of Merry Makers have been prepping to host a joyous festival and have travelled far and wide to invite friends from other lands to join in on their celebration. From the Land of the Bewitching Bayous, Goofy has invited Tiana, Naveen and Louis to add a little spice of New Orleans jazz to the party. From the Land of the Enchanted Woods in the kingdom of Corona, Donald Duck brings some new friends he met at the Snuggly Duckling, and Daisy introduces us to her special guests, Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. Finally, Mickey shares a surprise with Minnie, as he has traveled to the Land of the Majestic Mountains of Arendelle to invite Olaf, Anna and Elsa, who contributes a blast of her icy powers. It all culminates in a grand dance, as the Merry Makers invite all their special guests to join in the fun on this special day!
Marking the first appearances by Tiana and Rapunzel in a show on the castle stage, “Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire” brings to life beloved Disney stories both classic and contemporary in a tantalizing performance featuring an original song, memorable music, lively dancing and special effects of magic.
Watch for “Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire” to make its debut in summer 2016! As for Dream Along With Mickey the final performance will be on April 2, 2016 so be sure to catch it before it’s gone for good.

Baloo & King Louis
This is totally going to seem like an odd pick, but these two have one of the best meet and greets EVER!! I kid you not, I had the best interaction and experience with them. This happened in December of 2014 it was our first day on property, because we had flown in that day and decided to go to Animal Kingdom because for us that is a half day park. Well we get there and in all the years we have been going to WDW we hadn’t meet King Louis and it had been ages since we had seen Baloo so my mom and I hopped in line (dad sat this one out) mostly because it was sort and we had some time to kill before our fastpass. Anyway it was finally our turn and Baloo and King Louis were hysterical! They were dancing around so I thought “ya know what I’m gonna have fun and dance with them!” see I’m not one who puts myself out there or likes having the attention on me so this was a bit of a big step for me. Any who we were having a blast just dancing around and at one I was dancing with King Louis and Baloo interrupted by coming between us and Louis got “upset”. After we got done dancing I said hello to Baloo and then I turned to Louis and said “Hello King Louis.” and did a little curtsy as well and he loved it!! I can honestly say that those two were absolutely fantastic and that was one of the best character interactions I’ve had to date and that’s saying something. Definitely looking forward to making another trip to Animal Kingdom to see those two again!
Minnie Mouse
Okay so now we are throwing it all the way back to the year 2000 which just so happened to be the year my parents and I took our first WDW trip. The place Liberty Tree Tavern, the character the leading lady herself Minnie Mouse. Now obviously this was back when dinner at Liberty Tree was a character meal and sadly it no longer is, bummer. We have the setting and the character so let’s get to the story, so my parents and I we eating and like most five year old, I was not a fan of the nasty cooked carrots! I was NOT going to eat them at least that’s what I thought and boy oh boy was I sadly mistaken. Now Chip, Dale and Goofy had already stopped by our table and here came Minnie and she was amazing!! We were having a grand time and then she noticed the one thing left on my plate........yup the cooked carrots asked why I hadn’t eaten any of them and I told her I didn’t like them and she wasn’t having any of that, so what did she do? She grabbed my fork put a few carrots on it, did the little choo choo train motion and I ate those suckers because when Minnie feeds you a food you don’t like you just agree and eat them!! That experience happened over fifteen years ago and I will never forget it as long as I live.
ARTEMIS FOUL (Dir: Kenneth Branagh, 2020).
Sci-fi actioner based upon the best selling series of YA books by Eoin Colfer.
When his criminal mastermind father is kidnapped, 12 year old Artemis Foul (Ferdia Shaw) must secure the Aculos, a magical fairy device of immense power, in order to buy his father's freedom. Along for the ride are butler Dom (Nonso Anozie), fairy cop (Lara McDonnell) and giant dwarf Mulch Diggums (Josh Gad) who has the downright freaky ability of unhinging his jaw, digging with his mouth and shooting the dirt from his backside. Big names in small roles include Colin Farrell as Fowl Sr and Judi Dench as some kind of ancient elf commander in chief.
