Firsts for this year?

[penlanspice]

We always try to do/eat somewhere new each trip.

This trip -

With the in-laws (apart from the wedding which we didn't really spend any time together)
Bon jovi at the Amway arena (first time seeing them at the amway anyway!! not first time in Florida)
A few days in Sarasota visiting friends.

 

[scottishgirl1]

Hopefully will be doing MVMCP for the first time and also celebrating a birthday at Disney for the first time. It will be DS 12th birthday and we might try for an Illuminations cruise.

 

[disneyholic family]

First time |will be staying at OKW
First time doing characters in flight
First time to Boma
First time to Teppan Edo or Tokyo Dinning not decided yet
First time eating at Raglan road
First time my friend will be coming to the world so lots and lots of firsts for them

Probably more but this will be my 6th trip and there are so many things I still want to do

Thats what I love about WDW is that you can go so many times and there are still loads of firsts to do

i've eaten at both teppon edo and tokyo dining and thought both were very good - but i thought teppon edo was more special and where i'm much more likely to eat again in the future...

keep in mind that at teppon edo you'll share a table with other people (unless you're a party that fits the full table)...
you sit in a sort of half circle around the chef...
anyway, it was great...but they're both good!! tokyo dining had really excellent food - great sushi and i loved the tempura....thought it was really well done...

This will be our first time going in October (we normally go March/April time) so this will be our first chance to experience the Food & Wine Festival and MNSSHP. Going to try Teppan Edo for the first time and probably the new Mexican sit down restaurant as well.

Also, as long as the season doesn't get called off, I will hopefully be attending my first home Miami Dolphins game.

We fancy trying orange picking this October - think DD will enjoy it. Anyone been to showcase of citrus at clermont?

Last Friday we swam with the manatees in the Crystal River. Really wonderfrul experience, we must have seen over a hundred manatees from really huge ones to mothers with small babies to ones that had been rehbilitated by Seaworld and released back into the wild complete with monitoring devices.

Manatee season runs from September to March with Jan/Feb being the prime time to see them as they awim 9 miles up the Crystal River to the warm springs to escape the cold sea.
