My Disney Bucket List-Walt Disney World

Have you ever made a “bucket list”?  Basically, it is a list of things you want to accomplish before you die...aka “kick the bucket”.  Many people just use the phrase “bucket list” to denote a list of things they’d like to do or try, not necessarily before they die...maybe by the time they hit a certain age, or before they get married, or before they reach some other milestone in their life.  While there are plenty of things I want to do in life, with my love of Disney I decided to make a Disney Bucket List.  The first part here is specific to Walt Disney World...I added a few things after that that are just Disney things in general.

And here’s the rest of my Disney things in general:

-Take a cruise on every Disney Cruise Line ship

-Visit every Disney park worldwide

-Participate in every runDisney event at least once (as of today, the only ones I haven’t tried are the Tinkerbell Half Marathon and the Disneyland Half Marathon since they’re both out in California...which is a bit out of my budget for a race right now)

-Stay at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort

-Stay at Disney’s Hilton Head Resort

-Stay at Disney’s Aulani Resort

-Try as many Adventures by Disney vacations as possible!

Whew!  My wallet took one look at my list and has now found a permanent hiding spot from me...

But really, lots of things on my WDW list are easily attainable without having to shell out a ton of money.  I’ve just never taken the time to actually check those things out since I’m usually there for race weekends which are pretty full with race and volunteer stuff.  I also tend to focus more on the rides than on all the other things there are to do.

Do you have a Disney bucket list?  If so, what do you have on yours?
