Go ahead and share the first thing(s) you plan to do once you get in the park. (It is especially for the people who have long periods of waiting between each of their trips, although of course, not limited to only these people :).

    I'll start it:
    The first thing I plan to do when I enter DL is buy a coffee and chocolate chip cookie from the Blue Ribbon Bakery and find a seat in Town Square, where I will proceed to spend a few quiet moments enjoying my treats, watching the happy people enter DL, and giving a special thanks to Walt/ acknowledging the light in his apartment window.

It's quite an embarrasing act he does but the kids are always in hysterics and onlookers and fellow riders seem very entertained by it too. It's a "goofy" way to start off the day;0). Then the boys and I wait in front of the castle to meet up with my hubby and plan what ride we will go on first. This trip I think it will be POTC! I can't WAIT to see the Jack Sparrow AA's up close!

    Okay, that's a but dramatic, but I'm going to be THINKING it as I walk by, seeing as this is the first time ever I am having a Billy-Hill-less trip.......
