Preset Goals and Missions

One idea is to visit the Disney Park of your choice with a preset goal in mind (in our house, we call them ‘Missions’). This could be anything, so feel free to let your imagination run totally wild!

Craving a Mickey-shaped pretzel? Make it a goal! Want to see how many dark rides you can fit into one day? That’s another mission! Want to avoid all rides and see all the shows instead? Go into the Disney Park with that as your mission! The possibilities are truly endless.

Trying Something Different

If you’re not one for preset goals or missions, you could go into a visit with only one goal in mind every time: to simply try something new. That way, you’ll have the same mission and a different outcome each time.

Goodness knows that there’s enough in Walt Disney World to visit over and over again and find something new to do each time!
