We've already done many of the "must-dos", as well as a lot of the "off the beaten path" events.
What a fun thread! Thanks!

Hi Sherry Wine!
Can you give us your list of "must dos" that you've already checked off, especially the off the beaten path ones!
THANKS!

One thing I love about Disney is that no matter how many times you have been, there is always something new to do! Reading this list has been fun.

For me, I have always wanted to:
- Do the Behind the Seeds Tour
- Take an animation class
- Eat at a bunch of restaurants: O'hana, Hoop-de-Doo, anything on the Boardwalk, I'm sure there are more!

Hoop Dee Doo Revue, Candlelight Processional, eat at Victoria and Alberts, be at the taping of the Christmas parade at MK....

Floridajo · 08-23-2012, 02:44 PM

When do they tape the Christmas parade?

we have a running list for the upcoming trip in October of things we some how have missed or skipped everytime

so far...

HS
One Mans Dream
The Animation Academy
The Ellen Ride

AK
Primeval Whirl
We've some how never stumbled upon the Discovery Island Trail at AK.. that place is a maze for me i always get lost

Epcot
Try School Bread in Norway
Explore UK in Epcot
The Land Ride

MK
Tiki Room
astro orbiter
Presidents
Treehouse and Tom Sawyer stuff
People Mover
and our first before opening breakfast reservation at MK so we can get some of this stuff done!!

Just a quick heads-up - the Ellen ride (Universe of Energy) is actually at Epcot, not DHS.

I've seen the sundial. There's actually a store in there for CM's only. I went with my Mom who was a CM at a Disney store here. I'm a bit surprised at people not doing TSM because of a lack of fast pass. The queue is so fun!

Usually the first or second week of December.

I LOVED ToT but for some reason on our last trip I refused to ride because I was scared. I have no idea why, I used to love it! The anticipation is the scariest part, it's such fun!

They don't do the paintbrushes anymore :/

just wait it out, SO WORTH IT! I don't like fruit flavoured ice cream and I have dreams about Dole Whips!

What a fun thread! Thanks!

I'd never heard of this before this comment. Gotta try it! Maybe the candy one too

longhorns2 · 08-24-2012, 04:37 PM

So many good ideas! I'm trying to make a list for my solo trip in feb and the family trip in August

Solo includes segway tour in Epcot.
If I woman up enough (via margaritas probably) I'm also trying RnR and ToT. Not sure I'll talk myself into EE due to the drop. I'm not a fan either! I've never done much with the countries except drinks and candy so I plan on actually going through them next trip

Dreamfindersgirl · 08-25-2012, 09:04 AM

Get on a Sea Raycer!

I have been wanting to try one FOREVER but never got to. This will be the trip that I do!

And get my family to try Beverly! Can't wait to see their faces!

I find this drop worse than any of the coasters as it is a straight drop down - most of the others twist as they go and aren't as bad. and I LOVE coasters but this one gets me everytime

Our list of never dones and may dos
Dole Whips - we are from the Uk so not too sure about these
Dumbo
Watercraft rental
Big slides at the water parks
Teacups
Eat in Italy, Mexico and Japan (Epcot)
Sundial - never even heard about it but sounds good
Watch the MK fireworks from the beach of the Polynesian

I'm sure there will be more to add to the list before we get to WDW again.

while i was

waiting in line for mine, i was wondering if they'd ever get fastpasses for the dole whips
