Magic Kingdom Update 3/14
- Thread starter Marc Gil
- Start date
The middle of March through Easter is one of the busiest times to visit WDW, but it is manageable if you arrive to the parks early and take advantage of FP+.
If you have a clear itinerary of which parks you'll be visiting, you should probably start making FP reservations now.

My entire trip is planned. I am just always confused because this will be the third year in a row I went in March with no crowd issue. People always say it's going to be crowded.
It could get crazy on the weeks leading up to Easter, but like I said, it's quite manageable.
The most hectic time to visit WDW is during the Christmas/New Year Holiday and of course July 4th.

There's no water in the waterfall!!
After our discovery, it was off to Pirates, but first I wanted to try that Scavenger Hunt thingy.
The whole hunt for treasure was kind of cool, but I literally looked like a complete fool looking through the Pirates gift shop for these clues. My favorite part of the hunt is when the cannons started firing above the Pirates façade.
Following the scavenger hunt, we started waiting on Pirates which was a 40 minute wait, but it went by really quickly due to the solitaire app on my phone
POTC is always fun, but it has been showing some problems these past few months such as lighting issues and the fact that the addition of the mermaids was a complete fail.
When I rode I saw that they still did not address the lighting issues. The ride is unusually bright, the mermaid effect was also offline, and only half of the Blackbeard mist waterfall was working, but besides all that, I had fun. I mean it's POTC... It's always fun!
After riding POTC it was time to ride Space Mountain. I apologized to my aching feet as we strolled back to Tomorrowland.

Another moat shot
Okay now Space Mountain was a milestone for me yesterday. It was the first ride that I used FP+ for
*cheerful music*
In all seriousness, it was awesome. No more paper tickets is looking fine to me. It was a breeze to get in and get out.
Lol, you can see I've been converted... Sorry!! It just worked out perfectly for me, okay!
After Space, we actually visited the arcade... I know right?
We played a few games: air hockey, Mario Kart, and even Crazy Taxi, which was a childhood favorite.
Following the arcade, we did the TTA again to give my feet a rest.

Afterwards, we decided to visit Monsters Inc Laugh Floor, which is always a favorite. We even sent in a joke this time!
What do you call a cow with no legs?
Ground Beef!
*ba-dum-tsk*
And what do you call a cow with three legs?
Lean Beef!
Corny right? But the kids laughed...
After Monsters Inc, we did Stitch. I know Stitch is horrible, but I feel that it's one of those rides that are so bad that they're good, kinda like Imagination. Anyway, we had a swell time I guess...
Okay so this is the part of the day that my cell phone died... As you noticed, there's not so much pictures beyond this point... My brother and I were taking too much Buzzfeed Quizzes while waiting for rides. We even found the "What Disney Ride Are You" Quiz, which was ironic.
So anyway, after Stitch, I was in desperate need to get my phone charged, so I immediately thought, Tangled Bathrooms! So we headed back to Fantasyland to charge my phones and to also ride Peter Pan because our Fastpass time was coming up.
When we arrived at the Tangled bathrooms, I got a table and sat down. I then told my brother to wait there while I got some popcorn and glazed almonds. That whole Tangled area is very well themed and the bathrooms were also very nice, but very crowded.
After I got at 20% battery life, it was off to Neverland!
Peter Pan has always been one of my favorite rides, but it's a little long in the tooth if you know what I mean. After visiting Disneyland during the summer, I can never look at WDW's Peter Pan the same way... Disneyland's version is much much much better, but I still fancy ours. It's the version I grew up with, and it sure hasn't changed since.
After Pan, we headed back to Frontierland because out Fastpasses to Big Thunder Mountain were coming up. We arrived at Frontierland by way of Australia by taking the Railroad.
It wasn't quite yet time to ride, so we said "what the hey" and rode the railroad round trip and back to Frontierland. It time to ride and we were so ready to use our FP+!!
I am such a fangirl when it comes to this, I apologize...
Anyway, I took some photos while riding
