When I was at Disney World three years ago, the storm Ian closed the park for my third day<\/a>. On that day, I was supposed to go to Magic Kingdom, and I had done the three other parks. So this time, it was first on my list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems I still haven’t adjusted timewise, so I woke up at 5, an hour before the alarm would go off. After a shower, I went for some breakfast in the food court. I arrived a few minutes before they started serving, so I tried mobile order in the hope that it would be done right at opening. However, when I hung around the pick-up desk, a staff member asked if I had ordered anything, to which I answered yes and showed my confirmation. Apparently, it didn’t show up on their screen. She got my stuff and added some potato tots as compensation. In the end, it took longer with the mobile order, but it didn’t really matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headed to the bus stop, a really nice feature they have, buses between resorts and the parks. So I don’t have to bring my car and find a spot in the huge parking lot. The driver had us sing Happy Birthday for three people before departure. Fun, yeah, but at 7 o’clock in the morning, I’m not in the mood \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you do in the USA, they have a security checkpoint where my bag was checked. The security officer asked me where I was from, and when I replied Sweden, he said he had a son who had been to Sweden with the Marines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was going for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure<\/a>, but a whole section was roped off; apparently, they opened at 8 and not with the early entry. So I went for “it’s a small world” instead. No queue, I was alone in my boat, and no one was in the boat behind me either. Probably a lovely route for kids, I will likely have nightmares about the 20-second looping song. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
