Last minute one day trip

[Figment1989]

This has been a bucket list item of mine for a while, and everything aligned this week to make it happen. My daughter (8) and I are flying down Tuesday afternoon, staying with my parents at OKW, going to magic kingdom on Wednesday, and then flying home with my parents on Thursday. I’ve never done a spontaneous or one-day trip, so I’m looking for ideas to get the most out of the experience. This is my daughter’s second trip and we are going for a full trip in June, so we don’t need to cram everything in.

She likes big Thunder mountain and seven dwarves. Were Jewish so the Christmas themed stuff doesn’t really matter to us.

Does anyone have ideas for what to do Tuesday night (arriving around 7:30), Wednesday, or Thursday morning (flying out around 2). Special snacks I should get her?

Any thoughts appreciated

We are limited to magic kingdom because I couldn’t justify the park hoppers, otherwise we would be taking a jaunt to EPCOT to say hi to figment this will be the first trip or my life not going to EPCOT

Stalk the app for a Topolino cancellation for breakfast.

What a fun plan! I agree that a character breakfast could be a fun way to wrap up your quick trip. Topolinos is great, but we also like Cape May Cafe. Cape May would give you a chance to see the gingerbread over there. You could visit Beach club and Boardwalk. Or you could try for Chef Mickey and do a monorail loop. We’re Jewish too, but enjoy seeing the impressive trees and gingerbread displays. Just the sheer human effort to put all of that together is pretty cool.

Tuesday night we would probably plan to just have an early night.

I stayed at OKW 2 years ago and we loved Olivia’s. You could see if you can get a dinner reservation there. Or just order pizza in once you arrive.
For your departure day you might find Cape May at the he Beach Club easier to get for a character breakfast. And then you could take a Skyliner trip before heading back to OKW to collect bags.
