Checkin it twice! Just kidding but I am making a list.

My mom is taking my (will be then) 25 yro sister to Disney World for her 5th trip. She went when she was 13, 16 (practically 17), and starting a trip 21; ending 22.

I, however have been a few more times: 5, 8, 10, 13, 15, and 16.

I would like to make a list of special things for them to do/look at/find/experience while they are there. It's going to be my sursprise in the trip. I'm just not sure what I should put on it, so a little help please. :teeth:
 
Well, I've been on about as many trips as you have:)
Me and mom are going next year and I get to pick everything.
So, I would start with looking up the Extra Magic Hours for when you're going so maybe you can plan what days to go where to get the maximum park time.
Then pick every restaurant you'd like to go to.
Hope that helps!
 
I remember writing down a bunch of info about Disney starting a year before I left for WDW and didn't even finish till a couple days before the trip. :rotfl:

Anyway, I'd suggest writing down some rides that you think they would like and any parades and events that are going on. Also, if they are up to it, maybe you could try printing out a list of hidden mickey's around the park that they can find and take pictures of. You could also mention where the best and uncrowded places are to view fireworks and/or parades. That's all I can think of for now, good luck!
 

I always seem to suggest this, but how about trying the afternoon tea in the Grand Floridian? They have a nice selection of teas, plus coffee or hot chocolate if you don't like tea. I'm not sure on the coffee, but the hot chocolate came out in a teapot with the other tea which was pretty cool. Here's the menu for it.

Watch Wishes from the beach at the Polynesian resort? We did that after a meal in Ohana's and it was great.

You can test out the Segways in Innoventions. I don't remember the time they allow it, but it's after the tours end. It's also free to do if money is a problem.

Play the Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure games. They're a good way to explore the pavillions. There are about 4-5 tasks for every game, and because the tasks are chosen at random, you get a new experience everytime you play.
