How to Make Extra Special Memories in WDW?

[reereef]

Every time we visit WDW, we like to do something new...or something a bit special to make this vacation different to the others.

Sometimes it's a paid for experience...for instance in 2014 we did 'Wild Africa Trek' at Animal Kingdom (which we thoroughly enjoyed) and this year we have booked 'The Seas Aqua Tour' at Epcot
We have also gone horse riding and canoeing at Fort Wilderness for an 'adventure day' which was good fun.

Other times though, it's something that doesn't cost as much for instance, in 2015 we did a '1 day Resorts Tour' where we popped in to see as many Disney Resorts as possible and picked up a free souvenir (and a mug) at each. Free souvenirs were things like beads from Port Orleans and stickers from Caribbean Beach. Resort maps and things like that. Another time we did 'weird snacks around the world' where we picked 6 strange snacks around World Showcase to enjoy (or not enjoy all that much!). = crunchy red crabs from 'Japan'.

So I wondered, pricey or not - what sorts have activities have you done, to add a little bit of 'fresh' magic to your Disney trips. Yes, I will steal your ideas

We don't tend to pay for extra experience-we just enjoy ourselves there and make the memories that way. It's always been the little things for us-getting our own speeder on Star Tours, eating ice cream in the France Pavilion at Epcot, exceptional character meets, etc.

We did do the Wishes Dessert Party on our last trip, and while it was fun, it isn't a must-do and it was by no means the highlight of our trip.
