Eat a DoleWhip, eat a montecristo, ride Pirates of the Caribbean & Indiana Jones. I know you said DL, but my last one would have to be the hotel. I love staying on campus and ordering room service, going to character meals, and relaxing in my room.

Only 5?



I love standing on Main St watching the fireworks with my family.

I love the last time riding Soarin', although bittersweet, it's the perfect ending to our trip.

I love eating popcorn and drinking an icy cold Coca Cola while waiting in line for the HM.

I love the first time on Main St, the sights and smells and general feeling of well-being.

I love how into Disney my family gets while we are there: the Ears, the treats, the pins, the characters- the whole thing.

 

[MattsPrincess]

1. California Screamin
2. Feeling like a kid again
3. Meeting characters
4. Teacups
5. Just walking around and taking it all in

 

[FlameGirl]

1. Grab skewers from Bengal Bbq right when they open, and then sit and people watch at one of the tables across from JC and listen to the steel drum music coming from Tarzan's Treehouse (I think?). We usually do this on the first day we are there and it always puts me in my DL happy place.

2. We LOVE the drawing tutorials at the Animation Studio!

3. Pressed penny machines. We like to collect them...we have a little dish full of coins from our travels to other countries and we keep our DL pressed pennies in there with them.

4. We love checking our ride photo from Splash. My husband and I try to do something different every time and we always crack each other up.

5. Sounds goofy, but just being at DL makes me happy, and more friendly. I find myself smiling at people just because it's DL and I'm in a great mood. We have met some really neat people just by striking up random conversations. It's amazing how easy it is to leave your troubles behind once you are in those gates.

 

[TXHauntedMansionFan]

Since we are only able to make out to DL maybe 1/3rd of the time compared to WDW most of our favorites are rides that you can't get in Florida.

1. Indiana Jones
2. Pirates (so much better at DL)
3. Waterside table at the Blue Bayou
4. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
5. Monsters Inc. ride

TX

 

[chrissiecutie]

1. Walking down Main St in the morning holding my son's hand and my hubbie's hand.

2. Watching DS experience the rides, it's like going on them for the 1st time all over again.

3. Watching the fireworks with my little family of 3 while eating ice cream.

4. Cuddling in the doom buggies at HM.

5. Being at my happy place, nothing else compares.

 

[minniecarousel]

I love way too many rides so I'm going to list my top five things to do that aren't rides.

Sit on a bench and people-watch.
Mocha and cookies on main street. Sit by the piano an enjoy them.
Kissing my husband every time we pass the spot where he proposed.
Walk through all of the shops (even though I rarely buy anything.)
Wach people get splashed on Grizzly River and Splash Mountain.

There are probably many more but those are the first five that popped into my head.
