I was wondering what everyone's "Must See/Do" lists look like for their next trip.
We have had 3 family trips to Disney and there's still a lot we have never seen due to time/refurbishment/forgot about it/ADR.

We all know that things at Disney change all the time so next time we go, I want to include things that may not be there on our next trip. And I don't care how old or lame something might be...just so that I know my DD experienced it is enough for me.

Here's my list:
Enchanted Tiki Room (sentimental song reasons lol)
Hall of Presidents
Carousel of Progress
Splash Mountain (no FP have been available and wait is always over 90 min when we've gone)
Walt Disney Railroad
Country Bears Jamboree
Tomorrowland Peoplemover

This is just a list of things we HAVE NOT done all the other rides/shows we plan on hitting again.

That's just my MK list, I think that's where we have missed the most.

Hmmm. This September will be our 3rd family trip (DH and I also went just the 2 of us last November).
This trip will be me, DH, DS15 and DS12. These things are mostly things we've done before but would be very disappointed if we missed out this trip.

Must Dos:
BTMRR daytime and nighttime (was on refurb last family trip)
7DMT daytime and nighttime (never got to ride in the dark last family trip)
Splash Mountain in dark
Peoplemover
Haunted Mansion x2 at least
Pirates
Meet Tigger (DS12's fave)

AK
FoP
NRJ
Everest at night

HS
ToT
ST
Slinky dog
Alien saucers

Epcot
Soarin
TT
 
Here’s our list of attractions we haven’t made it to yet for MK, so they are our must dos for July, among the usuals:

Enchanted tales with belle
People mover
Carousel of progress
Railroad
Dumbo (I know, I know)
Philharmagic
Festival of Fantasy parade

We’ve also never done Hall of Presidents but no interest. Maybe if it’s hot enough.
 

Magic Kingdom:
BTMRR
Splash Mountain
Haunted Mansion
PoTC
PhillharMagic
Journey of the Little Mermaid
Carousel of Progress

Epcot:
Soarin'
Journey into the Imagination (it's nostalgic)
The Seas with Nemo and Friends (I love to watch the dolphins)

Animal Kingdom:
Festival of the Lion King
Expedition Everest
Kilimanjaro Safari
Flights of Passage (never been)
Na'vi River Journey (never been)

Hollywood Studios:
Rockin Roller Coaster
 
I don't see IASW in your list
The list is rides/attractions that we haven't done that we want to do. I wish my daughter would ride Dumbo or Aladdin carpets with me at least once but she will not. As far as IASW goes that is a tradition that we go on usually twice a trip and it's the first ride we do..then HM. I would never dream of skipping our traditional favorites...this is just icing on that wonderful Disney cake.
 
MK-Dapper Dans
MK-MVMCP
DS - The Void -Star Wars
Polynesian -Spirit of Aloha
Beaches & Cream -Kitchen Sink
Lol last two are food

Yes I've always wanted the kitchen sink, I think more so I can have the Mickey pants dish for home haha. I'm hoping next trip I will do, thanks for reminding me!!
 
Star Wars fireworks
Carousel of Progress
The 4 kidcot stations we missed this year (it's hurting DD9's head that she doesn't have them stamped)
TSL
Gorilla Falls Trail
Maharajah Jungle Trail
 
I can't do MK without a ride on PP. At Epcot we have to ride 3 Caballeros and get a margarita in Mexico.
On our next trip the goals will be
1) See Pandora during the day and ride NRJ (last trip we only saw it at night and rode only FOP)
2) See TSL, ride both new rides, and try out Woody's Lunchbox

Do you and your daughter go alone? If not or she is old enough to wait outside the ride by herself, go on Dumbo and Aladdin by yourself! Don’t cheat yourself just because she won’t go with you. And by all means, get on Splash Mountain and the People Mover ASAP

Spirit of aloha is the most dissappointrd I’ve ever been at Disney. Obviously some people love it, but it’s no hoop dee doo. Many teir 1 tables have an obstructed view.

The two trails have been on my To Do list for years and keep getting over ridden by the kids. :charac2:

No we go 3 of us..DH, me and DD but I've always wanted her to go on those with me I think so I wouldn't feel silly by myself. Last trip we rode teacups which was fun.
And Splash Mountain has been a big miss for us everytime but I will make sure I have FP for it next time. Also Toy Story Mania (HS) finally had FP for it last trip and I had to give it up because of ADR
 
Although I feel we spent too much time in EPCOT last year, I think I made my peace with it. DD got to have her passport filled, got a lot of great pics and now I'm not obligated to do it again lol...so that will free up more time for MK. Am I missing out by not seeing Illuminations??

That’s what we’ve heard. We just decided to drop SOA. Not sure what we might do that night now?
 
Things we STILL haven't done after 3 trips, and new rides that will hopefully be open for our next trip:

MK: Splash Mountain, HEA
HS: RnR, new Toy Story Land Rides, maybe Star Wars Land?
AK: I would like to see Rivers of Light since it got rained out our last trip.
Epcot: DH and I still haven't ridden Test Track! Hoping Ratatouille might be open if our next trip is pushed to 2020, which is looking likely.

Go on them anyway. You said you’d feel silly...good! Being silly is great for your soul! Besides, you will never ever see any of those people in the park again. :yay:
 
MK: Splash Mountain (missed it my last 2 trips) & HEA
AK: Pandora attractions
HS: Toy Story attractions
EP: Test Track
