I’m currently waking up from a Disney Dream. My family and I spent 8 days immersed in Disney wonder and magic, for the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration Land and Sea. We spent a few days at Walt Disney World Resort and sailed aboard the Disney Cruise Line to Disney’s Private Island, Castaway Cay.
While there, we also learned about Disney’s coming attractions and dreamed new dreams and destinations like Disney Aulani, Adventures by Disney, and the incredible perks of being a Disney Vacation Club member.
But a dream is more likely to become real when we write it down, so I decided to write a Disney bucket list – the ultimate Disney fan bucket list – one that took me hours to write up, one that goes beyond the parks and includes some of the magic I’ve already experienced and a lot of the unique magic that I’m still wishing for.
There is nothing like the magic of Disney and I want to inspire you to dream like I do. Some of these experiences are so easy to cross off your list and others will require lots of Faith and Trust, while others will only happen by way of Pixie Dust.
