Hey there, pals!
As the countdown gets closer and closer and the excitement builds for my adventure to the Walt Disney World Resort, I thought I would share my bucket list I created for myself as a first-time Disney Academic Exchange Program (DAEP) participant.
So, here it is:
Get Traditions ears decorated at Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe in the Magic Kingdom
Get Graduation ears embroidered
Ride EVERY single ride at the Walt Disney World Resort
Ride Tower of Terror in Hollywood Studios
Do the 4 parks in 1 day challenge - the rules: must ride 1 ride, meet 1 character, eat 1 snack at each park and take a photo in front of the Tree of Life (Animal Kingdom), Sunset Boulevard (Hollywood Studios), Spaceship Earth (Epcot) and Cinderella's Castle (Magic Kingdom) all within the park's operation hours!
Collect a number of Disney pins for each iconic moment i.e. '1st Visit', 'I'm Celebrating'
Buy a Disney Christmas bauble/ornament for the Christmas tree
Buy my family Disney-themed Christmas presents
Buy a Disney spirit jersey
Eat a meal from every country at the World Showcase in Epcot
Eat at Be Our Guest restaurant
Have a meet and greet with my favourite Disney characters
Take a photo at EVERY Instagram wall in the Disney parks
Be the last person on Main Street USA at the Magic Kingdom
Have a solo park day
Watch EVERY parade at the Disney parks
Do a behind the scenes tour with my family
See my friends at work
Go to the Disney water parks
Visit Universal theme parks
Attend a housing event
Eat and shop in downtown Orlando
Go on the Orlando Eye
Eat with an astronaut at Cape Canaveral
Watch 4th of July fireworks
Make loads of new friends
Hang out with home friends from the UK
Buy an autograph book and get my housemates/co-workers to write a message in it
Have fun making amazing memories of the most magical year of my life
I hope you enjoyed reading my program bucket list, as this was a VERY HIGHLY requested topic from my readers! Who knows, maybe I'll do another post after my program of how successful I was at ticking off my bucket list? 🤷♀️ Let me know your thoughts! Also, I am keen to know what would be on your Walt Disney World Resort bucket list. Comment on this post or my social media accounts (@onceuponhannahsdream) what you would have on your bucket list if you were doing the program!
Have a magical day!
