Disney Bucket Lists

[sparkleonprincess]

This one is for all the past and current CPers. If you had a Disney Bucket List while you were on the program...what were your top ones? Which were your favorite? Is there anything you didn't get to do that you really wish you had?

I did write a list of stuff I wanted to do on my CP, but I didn't get to do most of them. However, I don't regret that, as I had a really great time regardless.

Something I didn't do that I wanted to do, however, was ride Space Mountain with the lights on. There was an event for CPs in which we could have that opportunity, but sadly I didn't attend.

A few other items on my list were to find and take pictures of Hidden Mickeys and go on the Keys to the Kingdom tour.

Some other ideas might be to do any of the behind-the-scenes/special tours, get pictures with as many characters as you can (as well as autographs), try to visit all four parks in one day, volunteer at Give Kids the World, etc.

i got to ride space mountain with the lights on at DL..it was so weird!

i also got autographs but i definitely want to get more during my CP at wdw this fall, as i know they have some characters that arent even at DL

another cool thing i got to do was tour walt disney's apartment which is located above the fire station in DL

I'm a Fall Advantage 2013 hopeful, and I've already started my bucket list!

-Ride Every Single Ride (This won't be too hard, since I've been to the world 7 times, but I want to ride or see everything I haven't yet!)
-Spend time at Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. I went to BB when I was 5, so I really remember nothing, and I went to TL in 2008 but there was a thunderstorm so the park was shut down before I could do anything but the lazy river, the shark reef, and the wave pool.
-Take any and all tours I can! I really want to do this! I have always wanted to do a tour as a guest, but being able to do all of the cool tours on the program will be amazing!
-Go to Beaches N' Cream with my roommates and order the Kitchen Sink! I've never been here before, so I am really excited about this!
-Visit every single hotel on property I haven't been to and eat at least one restaurant there. I've stayed at World of Music, Grand Floridian, Port Orleans Riverside, Saratoga Springs, and Animal Kingdom Lodge, so I wanna start with the other ones first.
-Go to the Hoop-Dee-Doo-Revue, Spirit of Aloha, and Mickey's Backyard BBQ shows!
-Go to all of the character dining experiences that I haven't been to.
-Once I turn 21, in September, when I'm on the program, Drink around the world at Epcot!
-Attend the Food & Wine Festival and Eat Around The World
-Try to get my picture taken and get an autograph with every single character! (I know, this is a big one, but there are sites that list the characters by their number of appearances, so it won't be too hard!)
-Go to Disney Quest!
-Go to all four parks in one day
-Go to Universal, Island's of Adventure, and Seaworld!
-Go to the spa at Saratoga Springs or the Grand Floridian
-Get a fastpass for every ride that has it, and save it in a photo album

-Got to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

-See Cirque Du Soleil!
-Watch one of the outdoor Disney movies at one of the pools
-Get a ride photo from every ride that offers it
-Go To Company D (This may be what I'm most excited about right now!)

one of mine would just be to get a picture with mickey i still haven't managed to do that cause when I'm usually at the parks I don't really seek out the characters, because i'm more concerned with the rides :/

I really want to find out more/volunteer at Give Kids the World. I volunteer at a children's hospital now and its such an amazing experience. I can't even imagine how magical it would be at the happiest place on earth

During my PI, my boss had an "intern challenge" - to do everything listed as an attraction, including character meet & greets, as well as all of the parades and nighttime spectaculars, during your internship. So things you rode or did on previous trips didn't count.

If you succeeded, he treated you to a Kitchen Sink at Beaches & Cream.

(Of course I won it! My whole team went out and shared the Kitchen Sink. It was great.)

I really want to find out more/volunteer at Give Kids the World. I volunteer at a children's hospital now and its such an amazing experience.

Definitely follow through! Give Kids is a fantastic place, and a lot of groups at Disney have organized volunteer nights once or twice a month. If you go, be sure to stop in the House of Hearts - I helped design and build the hot air balloon kiosk in there
