 While the continuation of our multipart series on Who would win: Disney World, Dollywood, or Hershey Park is on the way, I wanted to stop and share what's been keeping me so busy.
My book is finally finished, edited, beta read, reedited, formatted, and artwork completed. It's my hope that this book has something for everyone. The book is split into two parts. The first half is for those who need dietary considerations at Disney World. Anyone who might need to know ahead of time what to ask, how to order, what to watch out for. The second half are those tips and tricks for saving you wish were all in one place along with a lot of practical advice. This book was designed to be easy to slip into your bag for vacation, or passed around before hand. It's NOT overwhelming! It's actually going to be the thing that lets you enjoy your vacation with a minimum of stress. I'd love to hear what you think if you buy my book. Reviews are always appreciated, so that small books like this, have a chance to show up in Amazon's algorithm, to help those who need it to find it. Want to buy a copy?

 There is so much at the Magic Kingdom for kids of all ages, but if you are especially wanting to focus on the older ones who like to go on rides that are a little faster, have the ability to sit on longer rides, or offer the chance to explore for a little while, we've got a plan for you! It doesn't even use fastpasses, which could cut your time more, or, use them on the rides that get busier later in the day. Magic Kingdom is HUGE and if you don't have an idea of where you want to go and what you want to ride, the lines are going to get long, and you'll get frustrated. That's why we are here! This plan starts at 9am (meaning, you've gotten through the parking lot, security, and are ready to ride at 9am) and goes to 12:30pm. You'll ride 11 rides all through out Magic Kingdom, explore Tom Sawyer's Island (can you find the treasure without getting lost in the cave?) and end just in time for a late lunch! Need a touring plan for your younger kids? Just click here! Need touring plans for the whole family? Click here 9 Attractions in 3 hours at Epcot Click here for 10 Attractions in 3 hours at Animal Kingdom Click here for 10 Attractions in 3 hours at Hollywood Studios Click here for 10 Attractions in 3 hours at Magic Kingdom Ready? Grab your sunscreen, and be sure to do all of the rides in this order, to make the touring plan work for you! 1. Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin -- Aim for the Z's! Help the Space ranger Corps defeat evil Emperor Zurg! This is an awesome black light ride. 2. Pirates of the Caribbean -- This classic ride has gotten an update but is just as exciting as ever 3. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad -- A good beginning coaster, with really fun old west theming. 4. Splash Mountain -- Did you know this ride is 18 minutes long? It also offers a great way to cool off at the end! 5. Seven Dwarves Mine Train -- another great beginner coaster and the newest at Magic Kingdom. It slows at points to let you see scenes from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, including the inside of the mine glittering with gems. 6. Mickey's Philharmagic- is a fantastic theatre style 4D short film. You'll experience wind guesting you, water misting you, and...what was that smell?! It's an awesome show that will have you humming long after. 7. Haunted Mansion-- Older kids will appreciate the humor and the visual effects in this not really scary 10 minute ride in a Doombuggy 8. Tom Sawyer Island-- We've got 30 minute's planned for this stop. That's enough to explore the island, visit the old buildings, get lost in the cave and hopefully find the treasure. If you're lucky, you'll get to play an old fashioned game of checkers while waiting for the raft to ferry you back over to Frontierland. 9. Astro Orbiter-- This ride is more fun for the older kids because while it's basically spaceship, ala Dumbo ride, the fact it's much, ,much higher really adds to the thrill. 11. Peoplemover-- This one is fun, you'll get to ride high above Tomorrowland and even get to see a little bit of Space Mountain Finish all of that by just after 1:30pm! After lunch you've got your whole afternoon, AND you still have your fast passes open to go back on favorite rides, or get to others you didn't have a chance for! Adventureland might be beckoning with the pirate treasure hunt, or maybe the hotel for a nap and a swim! Don't forget to pick up your map at your Resort, or at the entrance to the park!

Dumbo the flying Elephant-- This touring plan doesn't account for any time your child might want to play in the circus themed play area, but it's a fun air conditioned stop if you need one! 6. Under the Sea- Journey of the Little Mermaid-- This has such amazing animatronics! You'll ride in a giant clamshell throughout Ariel's story. 7. Prince Charming Regal Carousal -- A huge carousel with different sized horses that you never have to wait long to ride! 8. Peter Pan's Flight-- It's worth going through the interactive queue, there are some amazing surprises there, before Tinkerbell sprinkles you with Pixie Dust and you fly over Neverland 9. It's a Small World-- a charming little boat ride through brightly colored areas representing every country 10. The Many Advenures of Winnie The Pooh -- It's hard to get me off this ride. Ride along in a honey pot on a blustery day! The interactive queue is fun for all ages! 11. Peoplemover-- This one is fun, you'll get to ride high above Tomorrowland and even get to see a little bit of Space Mountain 12. Disney Railroad, Main Street Station -- Every single time we try and go on this it rains, or has lightning, so we have never gotten to ride, but this is a fun little 20 minute (if you do the full loop) ride all around the Magic Kingdom on a real narrow gauge steam engine! Finish all of that by just after 12pm!

Let's go do TEN Attractions in 3 hours including headliners! Animal Kingdom Overview Animal Kingdom is one of my favorite Disney Parks! You spend most of your time under the canopy of trees, so it feels much cooler. There's also just something really relaxing about the Park. You tend to move slower and enjoy more. There are tons of wonderful things to see, tiny details that you might miss if you don't linger. There is so much to experience at Animal Kingdom, I hope you will have the chance to explore it, if you haven’t already. We are starting out our day when the park opens.

That includes walking time from place to place. Follow the steps in order!
There you have it!! There's still time to do plenty at the park, but we'd suggest an early lunch to beat the crowds and get a prime seat. You're already right next to Flame tree BBQ, one of our favorites! Grab a bite, and sit overlooking the water! Don't forget to pick up your map at your Resort, or at the entrance to the park!  Do you have a favorite stop at Animal Kingdom? |
