About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

It's Day 4 of our Walt Disney World vacation, and we're headed to Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom. We had to get up bright and early for early entry and rope drop, but the sacrifice paid off immediately with Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Lightning Lane Multi Pass was a bit of a challenge, but we still managed to ride Jingle Cruise, Peter Pan's Flight, Space Mountain, TRON, and more. For lunch we ate at Grand Floridian Cafe, and grabbed Columbia Harbor House for Dinner. Before we left for the evening, we caught Disney's Starlight parade.
