If you're like me, the best day of the year is the day you travel to the happiest place on earth, Walt Disney World. Although it may be one of the longest days ever, waking up at 4:00 a.m. is totally worth it. Here are the six stages of traveling to Walt Disney World!
1. Waking Up
This is much different in that you're actually eager to wake up instead of sleep in like usual. Odds are you haven't slept that much anyways because of all the excitement and anticipation of your trip.
2. Going to the Airport
It might be 6:00 in the morning but it's totally worth it. You're probably not even the slightest bit tired right now. Excitement has taken over and you can't focus on anything else other than the fact that you'll be in Disney in a few hours. Time to go to Orlando!
3. Arriving In Orlando
Nothing beats seeing this beauty and realizing that you're truly almost home.
Let's not forget about your first official ride of the trip, the fake monorail in the airport. It a rite of passage for many disney-goers! Although it could never compare to the Walt Disney World monorails, it's still a close second.
4. Seeing the Magical Express
This is when it starts to get real. The Magical Express symbolizes the true start of your vacation and it also means that you've almost made it to Walt Disney World. The excitement is at an all time high. Soon enough you'll be counting down the seconds until you pass under the official Disney World arch!
5. Arriving at your Resort Hotel
Regardless if you've stayed there before or it's completely new to you, pulling up to a Disney resort is flat out magical all in itself. It's all so beautiful you truly wonder, "do I really get to stay here?" The answer is yes, yes you do. This is not just your hotel for the next week it's your home.
6. Realizing You're Finally There
It's all starting to hit you now. All you can say is, "I'm so excited" because at this point the excitement has taken over completely. You can't wait to get to the parks and let the fun begin!
