*some of these I added despite having already done them. They’re still really special things I looked forward to, and I think still help prove the vastness of the Disney universe. Β Besides, who doesn’t love crossing things off a list?!
Lisa
That’s quite an extensive list. I trust you will, over time check off every item. Why did our being in the parade at Animal kingdom make the list?
For the Love of Disney
Are you asking why it did or didn’t? I counted that as grand marshaling a parade! π And no, I doubt I’ll accomplish all of it. It’s fun to try, though!
Kellie
Wow, very ambitious list! I love it! I need to add numbers 46 & 96 to my list π
For the Love of Disney
Oh, it’s super ambitious! π I just worked through my general “bucket list” so to speak on my personal blog and decided I’d shoot for the stars a bit, rather than just do things I know I’ll accomplish. I won’t be horribly sad if I don’t accomplish them all! π
Thanks for the inspiration!

Wow – that is one impressive list! I have never even been to Disneyland or Disneyworld so that needs to go on my bucket list first.
Kevin
Love this! I really like that you want to spend 24 hours in the park!
For the Love of Disney
Thanks! I admit I wasn’t that intrigued by it the first time they offered the 24-hour day at the Magic Kingdom, but the more I think about it the more it seems like something to experience once! π
Becca (@BeccaLudlum)
What a great idea! I think Karen and I should do this, too!

Amber
That’s an impressive list you have there!! Awesome! And I love crossing things off a list too π
For the Love of Disney
Thanks, Amber! I see the same trait in my daughters… making lists just to cross things off! π

I must not be that big of a Disney Fan. Reading this list is like speaking another language π I’ve got to catch up.
For the Love of Disney
And to think, I changed several abbreviations! π Perhaps I should make a few more links… thanks for stopping by!

That IS an impressive list!! I call mine the Disney Bucket Billboard because it is similarly “full”. I bet you never run out of blogging topics!
