But there are some things left on our Disney Bucket List, both big and small such as:
This is The Big One. Our Dream Goal. And we're close.
We've visited:
- Disneyland in California
- Walt Disney World in Florida
- Disneyland Paris in Europe
- Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea in Japan
The only parks we have yet to visit are:
We are booked to go visit Shanghai Disneyland and Hong Kong Disney in November 2017!
We've been fortunate enough to go to Club 33 in Anaheim many times. Right now, there are two other Club 33's - one in Tokyo Disneyland and one in Shanghai Disneyland. They are much more exclusive and mysterious, and we are very eager to see them for ourselves one day!
*There are now four Club 33 lounges in WDW, but they are drop-in only, not full restaurants.
3) See The Matterhorn Basketball Court
This one's probably going to be the toughest one on the list. There are Cast Members who have worked for Disneyland for decades that have never seen the famed basketball half- court at the top of the Matterhorn. So here's hoping.
We love Epcot. We love food. We love wine. This is something we simply must do one year.
Ok, just to be clear: Disney bought and owns the Muppets, but they do NOT own the Jim Henson Company. But I'm listing it here anyway, because it's on the Adventures by Disney Backstage Hollywood Tour.
The Jim Henson Company is located in what used to be Charlie Chaplin Studios. Hence the nod to Kermit as Charlie Chaplin. It's our dream to tour the studios of Kermit and the gang one day!
6) Visit Skywalker Ranch
Disney actually doesn't own this either - George Lucas retained the rights to all the Lucasfilm real estate, including the famous 4,000 acre Skywalker Ranch, but we have a loose definition of "Disney" on this Bucket List (Disney adjacent will do). We've been lucky enough to visit Disney Golden Oak Ranch; we'd love to head up north and see Skywalker Ranch for ourselves.
Victoria & Albert's is the fanciest Disney restaurant on land. It's an AAA five-diamond award-winning restaurant, and the experience is supposed to be nothing short of remarkable.
8) Eat At Remy Onboard The Disney Cruise Line
Remy is the fanciest Disney restaurant on water. It's on onboard the Disney Fantasy and the Disney Dream Cruise ships, and dinner is reputed to be an amazing event.
9) Attend A Princess Coronation At One Of The Parks
Disney has started having coronation events for their Disney Princesses.
The first one was for Tiana in 2010, in New York City.
Then in 2011, Rapunzel was coronated in London.
In 2013, Merida had her coronation at Walt Disney World.
So we are wondering: where's the Frozen coronation for Anna & Elsa, Disney?!?!?
And can it be on the West Coast? If you must split the difference, do Elsa in Anaheim and Anna in Orlando.
10) Attend A Disney Wedding
If you are planning a Disney theme park wedding at Disneyland or Walt Disney World, we would LOVE to crash it - I mean, go to it. We'll be marvelous guests and we'll bring a nice gift, if that's any incentive.
11) Visit Castaway Cay
There's no island like a private island and a Disney private island sounds like nirvana to us. We need to do another Disney Cruise that includes Castaway Cay.
Epcot has several corporate lounges for sponsors. While they're no 1901 Lounge, the appeal of places that are hard to get into is undeniable.
I have no idea what we need to do to get one of these. Seems to be a right time/right place kinda thing. But we'd love to earn one. That would be some Disney magic!
