You’ve pretty much covered it, but DisneyQuest is gone now. Loved the penguin Mary Poppins fountain at GFV, so cute! You can also do horseriding at FW, not sure if that’s on the website or not. And inside the stable at FW is the Calliope that was used in DL back in the day, there’s a button you can press to hear it play music.

I didn't know that! See, I love gems like that!

If I recall, there were some old photo viewers (I don't know the name) at Boardwalk as well?

The "find a pearl" activity at Epcot's Japan was great.

Garden View Cafe Tea Time at the Grand Floridian

That’s an ADR, not an activity, though.

Grand Floridian Mary Poppin's penguin fountain

As cute as it is, I can’t imagine going to GFV just to look at a fountain.

Yes! The old movie viewers are in the lobby of BWI, near the bathrooms.

Can you think of activities...

Good thread, @may1787!

 

[disneydreamer1980]

Sorry, not sure how I got into your quote above. I was saying that yes, I remember the old time crank movie viewer machines in BWI lobby. There were 2 of them I think.

1) "Activities" include meals or dining most people don't think to do or experience.
2) Some people would make their way to the fountain at GF when they are there doing other things, such as enjoying the orchestra, the afternoon tea, meals, etc. And yes, its better in person. I mean, just because you've seen the Eiffel Tower or Pyramids on google doesn't mean you still may not want to visit them.

"Were"? Are they not there anymore?

Not sure if it's listed or not but you can take a tour of BWI. Also the wine tastings at AKL, again not sure if it's listed.

I also recently found out about the daily Flag Family at Wilderness Lodge.

I haven’t been there (boardwalk) in a while, so not sure if they’re still there or not. Just said “were” because I was remembering when I was staying there last. You know about Cinderella and Peince charming coming down the grand stairs in GF daily and dancing? My DD loved this, though only did it once when we stayed at the villas there (and I was lucky enough to see the penguin fountain daily )

 

[disneydreamer1980]

Oh, wanted to add the free culinary tour at AKL, which usually includes free samples.

I also found these:

Fort Wilderness does a Search for the Golden Egg around Easter, they also do a mummy race around Halloween in which participants wrap themselves like a mummy in toilet paper and run and then their costume is judged at the finish line.
