Disney Trip Report Part 2: Magic Kingdom, Halloween & MORE!
RDR Trip Report: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT & Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Part 2
TEASER
Part 1 was only the beginning!
The Rope Drop Radio Walt Disney World trip continues with Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, new attractions, rope drop strategies, and Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!
Doug and Lauren continue their massive Disney trip report—and this time we're picking up right where Part 1 left off: Magic Kingdom rope drop.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, go back and check it out first. But now it's time to continue the adventure!
We start with our Magic Kingdom rope drop, then make our way through more of Walt Disney World.
We talk about the attractions Lauren experienced for the first time, including:
- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
- Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
- Rock 'n' Roller Coaster
- Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
- Soarin'
We also break down our rope drops at:
🏰 Magic Kingdom
🌐 EPCOT
🎬 Hollywood Studios
But the biggest party of the trip was still waiting for us...
🎃 MICKEY'S NOT-SO-SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTY
We get into our experience at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, including:
🦆 Getting in line early for Donald
🐭 Meeting Mickey
🎃 Halloween treats and candy
🎭 The parade
🎆 Halloween fireworks
🎢 Riding attractions during the party
👻 Our overall thoughts on the event
And, of course, we tackle the eternal Disney debate:
Is it better to watch the first parade or the second parade?
You'll have to listen to find out where we land!
THE ROPE DROP RADIO COMMUNITY
One of the biggest highlights of this trip wasn't a ride or a restaurant.
It was meeting so many Rope Droppers in person.
From drinks and ice cream at Hollywood Studios to meetups at EPCOT and Magic Kingdom, this trip reminded us how special the Rope Drop Radio community has become.
Whether you're planning your first Disney World vacation or you've visited Walt Disney World dozens of times, this episode might convince you to add something unexpected to your next itinerary — or finally give you permission to skip it.
And we're guessing there will be at least a few attractions on this list that you'll strongly disagree with!
