Liberty Square is the Colonial land of the Magic Kingdom. When you enter this land, you go back to the land of our founding fathers.
– Be sure to get your picture in the stocks!
– Stop by the Liberty Bell in Liberty Square and tug on the rope to ring the bell.
– There are some nice rocking chairs on the side of The Hall of Presidents. A great place to rest and catch your breath.
– There is a tree near the register that kids can decorate. They get their name on the tree and a certificate commemorating the event.
– There is a area behind the shop that has bench and umbrellas. It’s a perfect spot for lunch or a snack or just a break from the crowds.
– This show lasts a little over 22 minutes. It is a good place to go to cool down on a hot summer day.
– This will definitely scare your little kids. It isn’t scary for adults, but it traumatized my 6 year old.
– Be sure to read the tombstones as you wait in the queue for Haunted Mansion. One very close to where you enter the ride has motion to it. She will open and close her eyes and her lips will move.
– watch for your “ghost host” at the end of the ride
– The first boat ride is not until 10 am.
– The boat ride is 16 minutes long.
– There aren’t many seats available. If you don’t get one when you board, you will likely have to stand the entire time.
– Ask to ride in the pilot house to receive an official Riberboat pilots certificate
– Be sure to look in the river while you are on the boat. There is no telling what you might see!
– If you don’t want to be in the sun, opt for the middle deck.

I love these posts! I had read them back when they were first posted bc i had hoped to go to WDW with my son and hubby in a couple years; For my 31st birthday my husband surprised me – he canceled our camping vacation and booked Disney! Our son is 3 and loves mickey mouse! I know the trip i going to be sooo magical for all of us. I am a big-time planner and I just found out Friday we are going to disney…in just 5 short weeks! These posts are helping me plan how to make the most of our trip and how to accommodate for our son’s naps etc while getting in the maximum fun while not becoming a drill sergeant! THANKS!
Pay close attention to the tombstones in the que line. One very close to where you enter the ride has motion to it. She will open and close her eyes and her lips will move. I never noticed this until I was taking pictures to scrapbook and at the excat moment the picture snapped her eyes opened!!! Made for a great picture! I love this ride. And Kristin…..my oldest was only 6 the first time we convinced her to ride. We told her if she got scared to holler BOO back at the ghosts! She is almost 18 and stills says BOO!
Beware of hitch-hiking ghosts! OOOOooooo ;)
Love Haunted Mansion!!!

There is always a hidden mickey to be found the dining room table but it’s in different spots every time! The plates will form a mickey head- it’s fun to find!
Oh and don’t forget to find “Mr Toad” in the graveyard near the exit I believe. May he RIP :-(
Haunted Mansion is wonderful! Andmy kids have been on it at every age/stage and they are terrified of bugs life (obviously!) but not scared ofhaunted mansion. It’s silly fun! It’s no more scary that Pirates is. Adn the tombstones are the BEST. Oh adn i’m entirely convinced that the opening scene of Alice was videotaped in the opening room :-)
Haunted Mansion is one of my fav rides in the magic kingdom. My fav part of the ride is the head in a glass bowl.. Not to scary……and the eyeballs on the wallpaper..also the scene with the dancing ppl in the diningroom. Look for the hidden mickeys on the table. so cool…and not far from DOLE WHIP!!!!! Besides pineapple soft serve they have plain vanilla or pineapple swirl. I also like the pineapple juice with the dolewhip swirled on top, a dolewhip ffloat.YUMMY
Liberty Square is my favorite land!! Be sure to read the tombstones as you wait in the queue for Haunted Mansion–and watch for your “ghost host” at the end of the ride!
