Disney World Vacation Traditions — Amazing Family Customs

Tradition is defined on Dictionary.com as “an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior”. This is 100% a topic that can be shared through a vacation to Disney World!

FOOD & SNACKS

• Night Blossom @ Pandora: The World of Avatar
• Dole Whip in Adventureland @ Magic Kingdom
• Lefou’s Brew in Fantasyland @ Magic Kingdom
• Pretzel in a new land or new style (like the Simba Pretzel in Animal Kingdom)

ACTIVITIES TO SCHEDULE

• Haunted Mansion (Daytime AND Nighttime)
• Fireworks at Magic Kingdom

SENTIMENTAL STUFF

As you may know, I worked at Walt Disney World back in 2007/2008. This means that there’s a list of things that just have to happen during our trip (for nostalgia’s sake)

• Visit my signature in my old workplace
• Try to lunch with as many friends and co-workers as possible
• Annoy Jill with many stories

THINGS THAT JUST HAPPEN TO OCCUR

• Window Shop @ Sprinkles, Gideon’s and Amorette’s
• Walk between Hollywood Studios and EPCOT
• Get hungry in EPCOT (around the Germany Pavilion) and try to make it (unsuccessfully usually) to the France Pavilion, giving up for BBQ at Regal Eagle.
• Always pack a swimsuit and NEVER use it!

RESERVATIONS THAT I TRY TO GET EVERY TRIP

• Lunch @ Steakhouse 71
• Lunch/Dinner @ Saana
• Victoria & Alberts @ Grand Floridian

ITEMS THAT WE BUY

• A new puzzle (usually from the Toy Store at Disney Springs or The Emporium)
• Something from the Art of Disney

Final Thoughts

I absolutely love planning trips to Walt Disney World, and with all the flexibility and repeatability that comes form the vacation kingdom…there’s always something soothing about having traditions.
