Family Magic Tour

On our last trip, Grandaddy gave us some money with instructions to find something fun that we normally wouldn't do.    We looked through different tour options and decided on the Family Magic Tour, which takes place in Magic Kingdom.    (See more details here:  https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/family-magic-tour/)


The tour is basically a guided scavenger hunt throughout Magic Kingdom!  During the tour, your group will solve riddles, play games, hunt for hidden clues, and collect various items throughout the park. 


Along the way, you might even have special meet and greets with characters!  We got to meet Peter Pan, and we even got to play a memory game with him in a secret location!  What a fun memory for my kids (and us!)!

While we participated in the scavenger hunt, we had the opportunity to ride several rides in search of clues.   We also went in a few behind-the-scenes location with priority access.  At the end of the tour, we had to return "missing items" to none other than Mickey Mouse during a meet and greet.

Our tour guide was friendly, energetic, and obviously passionate about his job.   He was great with the kids, and he made them feel so important and special.   I am so thankful we had the opportunity to do this tour!    I can't wait to try another one on a later visit. 

**Note:  We were encouraged to photo, video, and share with others!

Akershus

Akershus Storybook Dining Royal Banquet Hall  is such a gem!  Almost like a little-known secret that can rock your world if you have little princess fans!  Many people want to do Cinderella's Royal Table to eat with the princesses, but it books up quickly, takes 2 table-service credits, and can be loud and a little rushed.  While the experience of eating IN the castle can be great, for those who can't or don't want to visit there, Akershus is an excellent choice!! Located in the Norway pavilion at Epcot, Akershus is tucked away and is absolutely delightful!   It is a buffet character meal (we like breakfast best), and various princesses come to your table to meet and greet.    They take their time, make it truly special, sign autographs and pose for endless photographs.  Periodically throughout the meal, they host a "princess parade," where kiddos can go around the restaurant with their favorite princess, waving to the other gu...

Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom

When we visited Walt Disney World in 2016, my kids discovered a fun, interactive game called Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom.   This game combines role-playing with cards (think Pokemon, Magic, etc.).   Each day when you enter the park, you can visit the "fire station" and request a set of cards for this game.    The Cast Members there will set you up for the game, which is a virtual "battle" against villains in Magic Kingdom.   You visit hidden portals throughout the park and cast spells using your various cards in an effort to help Merlin protect the Magic Kingdom from villains such as Hades and Maleficent.   Each time you cast a spell that is strong enough, you are given clues about which portal is next on your journey.   Some cards are "stronger" than others, and spell cards can be combined to strengthen them.    There are several different missions, ranging from easy to hard.  As you progress through the diff...

Magic Shots!

When you purchase the Disney Photopass Memory Maker along with your ticket and resort purchase, you have Disney photographers waiting to take as many family photos as you want on property.   Photographers are stationed with MOST characters in the park (except at character meals), as well as in prominent locations such as in front of the castle at Magic Kingdom, the Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom, and Spaceship Earth in Epcot.   A special feature of this package is "magic shots," which are photos with surprise "magic" in the photos when they are added to your account.  My kids have always loved Magic Shots, and this time they tried to "collect" as many as they could!   Most photographers won't do many magic shots unless you ask, but sometimes you get a fun, unexpected surprise!  On our last trip we "collected" magic shots!
