The Hole
The entrance to the Magic Kingdom, at the base of the tree in the backyard.
What Is It?
A small hole with a puddle at the base of the big tree in the backyard. Ben found it and declared it would be the entrance to the Magic Kingdom. Stella pointed out it was full of water.
So we made it a thing.
How It Works
- Drink the potion - Arrives by mysterious delivery, shrinks you down
- The puddle becomes an ocean - What was a small puddle is now vast waters
- The dock appears - A paddle boat waits for you
- Paddle across - Sing Jingle Bells, Rudolph helps pull
- Meet Twinkle Star - The elf (password: elfman)
- The whirlpool - Around and around, down and down
- The waterfall - Over you go
- The steps - Torches light as you descend
- The door - A cat meows, the man apologizes
- The Christmas Village - You're in!

Ben found it. Stella noted it was full of water. We all drank the potion anyway.
Real-World Anchor
The backyard. The big tree. A hole at its base that sometimes has a puddle in it.
The way in is smaller than you think. You have to shrink to fit. 🕳️✨
