Do you have things at the Disneyland Resort that you want to do but haven't quite gotten to yet? What are they?

Some of mine are;
Take a Tour (not sure which one, since they are always changing)
Read a Book on Tom Sawyer Island
Take the Grand Circle Tour on the final train of the night.
Try all the food items that I always say I am going to have 'this trip" but never do - Bengal BBQ is at the top of this list.

Read a book at Tom Sawyers Island is one of mine too! I'd also add:
  • Take a tour that goes to Walt's apartment/see his apartment
  • Last seating of the night for Lamplight Lounge to see WoC, closeup from the side (lol that sounds ridiculous when I type it out, but I think it'd be really cool to have a seat and see the light show. I know the projections aren't really visible)
  • Chef's Counter at Napa Rose
 
I'm a southern california kid. I grew up going to the parks with my family, but almost never more than 1 day at a time. They were always (and still are, even after a lot of travel) my favorite place in the entire world. I've done basically everything "normal" there.

1. Savis Lightsaber Build - my family never did upcharge things. I love star wars and would love to do this. My wife and I are currently focused on some other financial goals, but once we free up our income, I'll be doing this within a year I think :P

2. A 2-day trip in the Grand Californian OR DL Hotel - This one is a few years away. I've always wanted to stay on-property. Especially at the grand - right in the action. I've never done the magic morning/early entry, and would love to do that for 2 days. I just want to experience the feeling of "Whew, that was an awesome day... BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO LEAVE" - the "magic continues" into the night. I wouldn't want to spend longer than 2 days at the resort... I'd be antsy to get back to work lol. But this is HIGH on the bucket list.

3. A VIP Tour - This one may never happen. Only if I build a business or somehow have the income to pay for something this expensive. Most people use these tours to get on lots of rides. If I booked one, I'd tell the guide "Hey, I've done every ride. That's not the concern. I have 2 requests:
1. Show me anything and everything behind the scenes or in restricted access areas that you possibly can. I want the TOUR of how rides work, cast member areas, literally anything.
2. A LOT of laps on Toy Story mania - I want to get reps in today and try to crack 500k points... only doing it once or twice isn't cutting it lol

4. Meet Peter Tu and give him his secret handshake - I've only seen the clapper man once, but I was in line for Thunder Mountain and couldn't get over to him in time :(. I'm sure his days are numbered, but I would love to share his joy for Disneyland once before he passes.
 
I hadn’t considered Savi’s. Although for me it is less about the money and more about not knowing what to do with the lightsaber after the fact. I want the experience but don’t care that much about the artifact.
 
I hope to someday meet Patrick Begorah...I stop by his house every visit but just can't seem to catch him home...😊

Others? See the "real" Jack Sparrow on Pirates (yeah, that ship has sailed, I know ).

Other than that, I don't have much...been fortunate to do most things I have wanted. Now I just want to be able to continue to go and enjoy it as long as I can!
 
For me?

Club 33 - Not sure if I'll ever get to experience this, so definitely Bucket List worthy
Dream Suite / 21 Royal - Another one where I don't know if I'll ever get a chance to check this out, hence Bucket List
Eat - At every possible spot in the entire resort. I think I've maybe crossed off half this list in all the times I've gone
Grand California - Stay for 4 nights in a suite and take in every single square inch of the resort with no particular itinerary and without rush

Hmm.... good question. I'd like to get stuck on Haunted Mansion right in the middle of the ballroom scene for like 15+ minutes. Never enough time to take it all in I feel, so every time I ride I'm hoping for an extended stoppage there. Got close on a recent visit and was stopped for about that long at the Madam Leota crystal ball scene, but really hoping for that at the ballroom.

Other one might be eating at Blue Bayou at one of the waterside tables so we have a perfect view of the boats going by.
