Want to Do

  • Be at rope drop ceremony when Magic Kingdom opens
  • Storytellers in Epcot
  • Visa meet and greet in Epcot
    Go to Innoventions West, you'll find the Visa Meet & Greet between the firetruck and Segway Central. I think the time window is about 1:00 - 4:00. Show your Visa card to the attendant. Long line at 1, so try to get there after 1:30 when the line is much shorter.
  • Preorder PhotoCD. Get park maps and hit as many of the photopass locations as possible. Definitive guide to Photopass
