Magic Kingdom Tips & Tricks Tuesday

Magic Kingdom Tips & Tricks Tuesday

For the first ever Tips & Tricks Tuesday on Making The Madness Magical, we will be focusing on.......the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World!! The Magic Kingdom is synonymous with Disney. Whether it be Disney Word, Disneyland or any of the other Disney Parks around the world. So today I'm going to be sharing some of the tips and tricks my family and I have picked up over the years!

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2015

When the Halloween decorations make their way to the Magic Kingdom we know that Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party isn't too far behind. Now every year Disney likes to debut some very special treats for aforementioned party. So without further ado let's take a peak at these wonderfully themed snacks!!

First up is the creepy-crawly Spider Cupcake! This is a chocolate cupcake with a nice little edible spider on top and you can find him in the Main Street Bakery!

Next to the creepy-crawly spider cupcake you will also be able to find the vanilla Monster cupcake also available in the Main Street Bakery!

Now when you think Halloween what is the first thing that comes to mind? If you said ghost then yay because that brings us to the next treat. Which is a Ghost cupcake! Now this is a returning treat, but it's had a makeover. This year the Ghost cupcake has a chocolate base (it was vanilla the previous year) and is topped with butter cream icing, dusted with cookie crumbs and has a lovely fondant ghost propped up on top with a marshmallow under it!! This tasty treat can be found at Gaston's Tavern back in "New" Fantasyland!

Who doesn't love a nice ice cream sandwich every now and then? Well if you would like one while at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party then look no further than the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor on Main Street U.S.A!! Stop in there and get a Handmade Halloween Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich! You won't regret it, trust me!!

Candy Corn the unofficial symbol of all things Halloween! If you love candy corn then you're going to love the next two treats that are making an appearance this year. The first one is a Candy Corn Cone, it is Candy Corn Soft-Serve Ice Cream and it even comes with a cone FILLED with candy corn!! You can find this at Storybook Treats.

The final special treat at this years Halloween Party is Candy Corn Cotton Candy. Yup you heard me candy corn cotton candy, this will be available at various carts and kiosks around the Magic Kingdom! However there is a twist, the vibrantly colored candy-corn inspired layers offer different flavors: original sugar, pina colada and orange!!

So are you attending Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year? If so which treat are you wanting to try the most?

Frontierland Tips & Tricks

Frontierland takes you all the way back to the American move out west during the 1700s and the 1800s. From the beautiful mountain ranges, raging waters, unexplored caves and abandon forts there is no shortage of fun to be had here by all.

The first tip I have is for one of the most popular rides in Frontierland and that is Splash Mountain. AS most of you know there is a fifty percent chance that you will get DRENCHED on this ride. Well if you’re not a fan of walking around in wet clothes fear no more, I got you covered! The first thing you can do is put an extra set of clothes in a couple of plastic bag (or one of the big Disney merchandise bags work wonderfully) and then change after you get off the ride…OR you could just sit on the left side of the log. What? Sitting of the left side of the ride? Yup if you sit on the left side you’ll still get a bit wet, but you won’t get as wet as what you would if you sat on the right.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is another extremely popular attraction in Frontierland and because of that the line tends to be very long. If this attraction is one of your must dos then my suggestion would be to hit this ride during the Festival of Fantasy parade! I’m telling you to do during the parade because most families will be watching that, which means you will have little to no waiting and it is magical!!

The Country Bear Jamboree is one of the less popular attractions, but if you’ve never been on it before check it out! One thing though is that if you do decide to watch it, just know that this attraction opens at 10 a.m. everyday even though the rest of the park opens earlier in the day.

Main Street, U.S.A Fun Fact

You may or may not have noticed, that the entire length of main Street, U.S.A is bordered by red pavement, almost as if the red carpet had been rolled out for you. Well it has been, when creating Main Street, Disney consulted Kodak and they determined that one particular shade of red would enhance guest photographs. So thank you Disney and Kodak for making sure our vacation photos look fantastic!!

What's New Wednesday

I'm back! With that being said, I want to start a new series or theme for Wednesday and this new series will be called...What's New Wednesday!! 

What's New Wednesday will be a weekly roundup that consists of all the new happenings coming and going at the Walt Disney World Resort. I will cover everything from attraction closings, refurbishments, character meet and greets, which characters we'll be saying so long to (whether it be for a short time or for good), restaurant's, events and all those other things we need to know about in order to have the best vacation ever at The Happiest Place on Earth!

Introduction to Making The Madness Magical

                Every Disney movie pretty much starts out the same way. You hear the magical sound of “When You Wish Upon a Star”, the chills go down your spine, you get that knot in the pit of your stomach (you know the one you get when you’re really excited about something and you feel like you could burst at any moment) and then you can just feel the magic in the air floating all around you and it’s AMAZING!!!! Well I hope this blog can give you that exact same feeling!

               Maybe I should introduce myself. Hi my names Terra!! I am a Disney addict, lover, connoisseur and not ashamed to say it or show it! I’ve been going to Walt Disney World since the ripe old age of five. My first trip to WDW was in the year 2000 and let me tell you I will never ever forget it. That first walk down Main Street U.S.A holding my mom’s hand while my dad was behind us taking pictures. Since then we have been back multiple times and even decided that DVC was a perfect fit for us since we are all Disney addicts and let me tell you what, it was the best decision we as a family have ever made!!

           What is the point of this blog you ask? Well let me tell you, the point of Making The Madness Magical is to help make the entire planning process easier! Like I said before I’ve been to Walt Disney World multiple times, it’s literally my second home, and I know it like the back of my hand. Not only am I here to help make the planning process easier, but I’m also going to help keep you all up-to-date on all the latest Disney World happenings and with all the recent announcements, updates and changes it sounds like our beloved second home will become a little unfamiliar to us all until we figure out the new lay of the land.

 See Ya Real Soon,
