Mountains of Magic - A Walt Disney World Tips Podcast for Newbies

If you are planning a Walt Disney World trip in 2025, don't miss this episode. I'm sharing my strategy for "rope dropping" Animal Kingdom, or what to ride as soon as the park opens. I'm suggesting you head to Flight of Passage first, but that's not the case if you aren't staying on property. I also share my top 3 picks for Lightning Lane Multipass at this park. Come back for the next 3 episodes to hear my strategy for Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom.
