DisneyTips.com Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation
When we visit the Disney Parks, we all have our preferred order for checking out our favorite Disney attractions, whether those are rides, shows, or restaurants. Do we rope-drop Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and then rush over to Space Mountain before slowing down with “it’s a small world”? Or perhaps start with a character breakfast and then mosey over to Big Thunder Mountain?
The next time you’re at Walt Disney World, maybe you should consider checking things out in “Disney movie chronological order.”
