My all time fav is Hall of Presidents. Love Carousel of Progress and Turtle Talk with Crush (we're all adults!).

Tom Sawyer island
People mover
Magic carpets
Swiss family tree house (but I think that's gone now)

I love Living with the Land. I always ride several times. Think we are finally going to do a Behind the Seeds Tour this year
Also love Mexico ride, though I must admit, I kind of miss the old version
PeopleMover, you have a hard time getting my husband off of there. (though don't put your sunglasses up on your head and then look up when you go in Space Mountain, my husband will never live that one down!)
We do have fun on Primeevil Whirl as well
We love the Magic of Animation with Mushu

Definitely Carousel of Progress. I LOVE it. It's a must-do for us. Usually multiple times in one trip.

To be honest, the only ride or attraction at WDW I did and hated was Stitch's Great Escape. I love all of them, headliners or no. But for me, it's the teacups. When I was a kid, I'd see commercials for Disney with the families spinning on those things laughing hysterically. My best friend went to Disney every summer with her family and had a zillion pictures on, near, and with them. I wanted to go to Disney SO BAD, and my family had no means to take such an expensive vacation.

When I finally got to go in 2007, I made a beeline for those twirling cups. Felt like I'd finally gotten to do something I'd always dreamed of. Still my favorite!

At Animal Kingdom, I love It's Tough to Be a Bug
Epcot: Anything in the World Showcase.
Hollywood Studios: Walking along and enjoying all the art deco of old Hollywood. Add that to the Great Movie Ride and One Man's Dream

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Peoplemover

CoP

Things I haven't done In a while but do enjoy:
Country Bears and Philharmagic

 

[samsteele]

Country Bears fan . . . loved the talking heads since I was 7 yrs old.

Also on the list: People Mover, Carousel of Progress, Tiki Room, Living with the Land, Oh Canada and Reflections of China. Behind the Seeds tour is a great one & worth the extra $ to go at least once.

Does Jungle Cruise at night also count? Great fun & sometimes the corny jokes are a wee bit edgier if fewer kids.

 

[nooneshome]

My favorite 3D attraction is Mickey's Philharmagic and is a must-do. Another must-do is Animation Academy at DHS.

 

[SnackCredit]

Tiki Room (one of, if not my #1 favorite)
Living with the Land
Mexico ride
Hall of Presidents
American Adventure
One Man's Dream
Pangani Forest and Maharajah Jungle Trek


(Wouldn't Spaceship Earth be considered a headliner?)

 

[BlackMagicWoman]

Laugh factory is essential to our trip.

 

[IndianaMouse]

Ellens Energy Adventure
Tiki Room
Country Bears
Laugh Floor
IASW

I really enjoy most of the rides/shows though. There are 2 that I'm too chicken to ride ( Everest & TOT) and one that I think is the biggest waste of space at Disney ( Captain EO) .

 

[4under4]

Carousel of Progress is one of our favorite attractions. When anyone is having a bad day, we sing the song to each other!

Philharmagic!

No trip to MK is complete without these two, no matter what else is on the agenda for the day.

 

[kiddo76]

IASW definitely. It was the first ride we went on on my first trip when I was 10 and the first ride I brought all my nephews and niece on and it's tradition for it to be my first each trip. It IS WDW to me. I just recently found out that it's going to be closed on the days we were planning for MK on our trip in 3 weeks and I am devastated. I don't know if I missed something while I was making plans or if they announced the closing after. I am seriously considering adding a day on our arrival day or adding on a PH just to do that one ride.

My DH, while disappointed for me, is otherwise relieved.
