Disney World for Adults

August 12, 2015

Disney World for Adults is something to be done. Because when you are a kid, all you want to do is Disney World; you want to say Hello to Peter Pan, Mickey, Pluto, and Donald. You even put Disney World in every wish you make. Maybe for some reason, you lived in Norway as a child, and there was no chance that the family would take you to Disney World anytime soon.

 

When being in Florida, you should make a stop to Disney World even as an adult. Make that childhood dream come true, yet you are a bit older now. Disney World for adults is actually the one day where you can be a child again, and your dreams will come true. You are going to see the Magic Kingdom with the Cinderella Castle and the great firework. Let the magic begin!

I can´t get an adult today,

please don´t make me an adult in Disney World

Disney World for Adults, One day, One plan

So many people are together, and there is so much to see, you have to do some planning

 

My sister and I were loving that we were going to Disney World. Finally, it was our time. Of course, it was also 53 000 other people visiting the park that day. We were not alone about having this magic moment. Since we only had one day, we had to do the Magic Kingdom it´s the most magnificent park for newbies. If only staying one day, you have to make the most of your time. You have to do some planning. When you plan before, you have more time to enjoy the attractions. You have more fun and are not stressing about what to do or take.

 

PLEASE –> MAKE A SMALL PLAN & HAVE MORE FUN

Disney World for Adults

 How to do it

 

  1. Buy your tickets at Disney World. If you are only staying one day, the best price will be on their homepage. For more days look around for offers.
  2. Download their App – My Disney Experience
  3. Then make a list of your top 5, 7 or 10 things that you need to see in the Magic Kingdom!
  4.  Select 3 FastPass reservation that gives you access to favorite attractions without standing in line. Fastpass is for every one that buys a ticket to Disney World. Fastpass is amazing!
  5. Then find a hotel. All the hotels in Orlando have a great standard. The important thing is that they have a shuttle to Disney World and not expansive parking fee for your car.
  6. Then you have done the planning, and now it´s time for action and magic moments!

We had to drive from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando, which is a 3 hours drive. Arriving at the Hotel at 10:00, and then we were was inside the Disney World park at 11.00. We did our check-in, went from the hotel to Disney World with the shuttle. Then arranging our tickets and entering the Magic Kingdom. Everything went super smooth, with no big lines.

 

 

The Magic Kingdom by Day

The first thing we did when arriving in the Magic Kingdom was to walk down the main street and to take it all in. We are in Disney World!! Then walking up to the castle and having a couple of Selfies. How many time haven´t you watch that Castle before a Walt Disney Movie? Now you finally get to see it in real life. Even for girls at the age of 23 and 29, it was magic to see, even more, magic with fireworks by night. This was just the beginning of this magic day.

 

After catching a map, and attached our-self to the Free Wifi in Disney World, we opened the app and started our day with the attractions with last waiting time on the app.

 

Catching a map is how you can be efficient with your time. While waiting for your Fast-Pass+ track reservation. We started with our list and went through it.

When we were there the Pirates of the Caribbean was closed for maintenance. That was a bit disappointing, but we survived with so many other great things to do as well.

 

We did Peter Pan´s Flight out of nostalgia if there is a big line would seriously consider not to do it. We loved it because we love Peter Pan. Flying above London and Neverland, was such a childhood memory. If any kids want to go and watch the Pan Movie in the Cinnamon with me this fall, it would be awesome – Sister?

 

We also had to do another nostalgia moment Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid, again we loved it because we love Ariel. There are a lot of sweet memories from the childhood, and you will end up singing; Under the sea, Under the sea, Darling it’s better, Down where it’s wetter, Take it from me – Under the sea

Just follow on the app throughout the day and go when it´s under 20 minute. Then go – Under the Sea!

Lunch Break – Nothing special – only a quick bite. Fast in and fast out.

 

Space Mountain is a definitely FastPass+ attraction. We loved walking past 110 minutes wait time! We enjoyed this attraction, and it was a super cool roller coaster in the dark with the stars. I think the scariest part was that it was so dark you couldn’t see where you were going, it was fun and fast.

 

When it´s getting hot, and you are getting tired in your legs of walking –  jump into the Mickey´s Philhar Magic Movie and relax. The movie is a 3D film with a lot of moments from the 90s, and of course, as a 90-Kid I enjoyed it very much.

 

Disney World for Adults Parade

 

Festival of Fantasy Parade was beautiful to watch, to be honest, the funniest or happiest part was to watch all the kids and their smiling faces, this was their day with all their heroes in one place alive and right in front of them. They could even wave to them.

 

Splash Mountain is a must in the afternoon heat, use a FastPass+ on it and skip the big line. Splash Mountain makes you excited and take you on a nice round where you listen to great music and funny character. It also gives you a view over the Magic Kingdom. The trip finishes with a splash of water, refreshed for returning to the exit and have an afternoon break or ready for more hours in the park.

 

Splash Mountain

After the Splash Mountain, we decided to go back to the hotel, and have an hour or two with resting and tasty dinner in our hotel with a little fewer people. It was needed and much appreciated with an afternoon break where we recharged our battery for the Magic Kingdom by Night.

The Magic Kingdom by Night in Disney World

 

When we returned to the Magic Kingdom, we went straight to the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and we did stop and buy cotton candy! The cotton candy was seriously the best cotton candy in my entire life. 
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was our personal favorite, so fun! The only thing we did take two times. The first time we did use our Fastpass+ and then the second time was after the firework show. It was super fun to make it in the dark as well.

Fireworks over Cinderella Castle

 

Wishes, you have to close up the magic day with the fireworks over the Castle. To find the best location, I recommend the blog post to DisneyTouristBlog  – the Magic Kingdom Fireworks Viewing Guide. 

 

Then at midnight, you have your last trip to The Haunted Mansion were you meet a lot of hunted people. It´s a fun ride in the dark. Then walking back to the main street you will cross the Main Street Electrical Parade since it´s the second show for the night, you have great viewing opportunities everywhere. If you are not tired, take advantage of the last hours in the park and enjoy a less crowded Magic Kingdom. This is the benefit of being an adult you can stay up longer, and enjoy the last Magic hours in Disney World.

 

Last Word About Disney World for Adults

 

Disney world for adults was a magic day! We had a wonderful time, and I think also the other 53 000 were enjoying as well. Disney World is one of the happiest places in the world, there were so many smiles and laughs there.

 

I also Salute all the parents for making their childhood dreams come true and letting them see all their heroes in the Magic Kingdom. The Kids learn a lot about being patient in Disney World. A 100 minutes wait, it is even killing me as an adult. Big Salute to all the patient kids that were waiting for the roller coaster that takes 3 minutes but requires 20 times more waiting. You have to buy the cotton candy.

 

If you want to go back to your childhood buy the Minnie Ears, they are so cute. Don´t be afraid you will be surprised to see how many adults that are wearing them. If you don´t want them, buy them for some children back home. They will love them.

 

If you have more time then one day you should do more time in Disney World. There are so many other parks to have fun in; it will take you around two weeks if you want to do it all. Or that is what my Florida friend told me. Next time we will do Universal Studios.

It teaches you to be happy about simpler things, it teaches you to be present, and most of all, to go with the flow. Traveling to Cuba is different but beautiful. #cuba #visitcuba #havana #cubatravel #meaningfultravel
