I've decided to cap my list here, but there is still so many other magical things Disney offers that I want to experience as well! But this list is already pretty ambitious. Who knows how many of these I'll actually get done, but I'd rather be overly ambitious making sure I'm getting the most out of my time on the program than realize my program is almost over and I haven't done anything!
