Disney Bucket List

[SenoiaDawg]

We've been to WDW 4 times and are planning 2 trips in the near future. During our planning, I always ask my wife and kids, what they would like to do different on the next trip. Well, this got me thinking...

What is on your Disney Bucket List? What have you checked off and what have you planned to check off soon?. The only rule is that the items on your list should be realistic and have an actual chance, however unlikely,to be checked off.

Here's mine in no particular order:

1. MNSSHP - 10/2012
2. MVMHP - 12/2009
3. Pirate & Princess Party - 4/2008
4. Exotic Driving Experience - 2/2013
5. MK Family of the Day - 4/2011
6. MK Christmas Parade - 12/2009
7. Stay in MK View at Contemporary Resort - 10/2012
8. Stay at Wilderness Lodge
9. Stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge
10. Stay at Polynesian
11. Stay in the Suite in Cinderella's Castle
12. Parents Only trip
13. Trip to Disneyland
14. Alaskan Disney Cruise
15. Various Tours (Wild Africa Trek, Keys to The Kingdom, Trains, Epcot Segway, etc.)

I have 2 big long term ones:
1) Stay at every resort- (dh likes what he likes so this has been a challenge. I finally got him out of the contemporary a few years back and into the WL. After that we only stayed at WL for 3 years! Last week I got him into Beach Club and he insisted I book BC for our upcoming September trip as well! UGH. I was thinking AKL would be nice, but no BC it is. ).
2) Visit every Disney Park worldwide. Since I have only been to WDW this is a very long term goal.

Little ones
1) ride every ride/ see every show. We always seem to skip the lion king show in the land pavilion and triceratops spin for example. I finally got dh on primeval whirl for the first time last week so I guess i am moving in the right direction!
2) eat at every restaurant. Again dh likes what he likes so I can only add 1 or 2 new ones each trip. (I snuck in 4 last week so that was exciting- Garden Grove, Cape May breakfast, Yachtsman and Sci-Fi)
3) Fireworks party- did that monday-I was not impressed
4) dine with an imagineer- booked for September
5) Wild Africa trek- might book for September
6) Keys to the Kingdom- did a few years back- I highly recommend it!
7) Behind the Steam trains tour
8) Living with the land tour- never seem to get around to it!
9) Visit the waterparks. We have never been! Who finds the time?
10) Ft Wilderness Bonfire

and the impossible one....

Get dh to wear ears! I try every trip, but I am never successful.

Short but sweet for out next visit to WDW..

1) Eat at Teppan Edo - never did, DS & DD request
2) KTTK tour - everyone is finally over age 16
3) AK - Behind the Scenes tour - DH request, go figure
4) Sleep in at least 2 mornings while we are at WDW - no 7 am wake up call, maybe 9 am will be OK - getting teens up for AM EMH maybe out of the question
5) Let DD get a henna tattoo in Morocco
6) Let DS buy a soccer T-shirt in the England sports store, EPCOT
7) Conversation with DH on our balcony - no arguing teens in the background
8) Finally have breakfast at Cape May buffet, 10:30 am ADR - our teens should be able to get up for it.
9) Drink lots of water and no soda
10) Keep our feet happy and dry during the hazy, hot, humid, rainy summer days
