[kandeebunny]

MK- Pooh and the Hunny Pots, SplashM, Rice Dreams Ice Cream from the ice cream parlour and spectromagic

MGM- Muppets, BATBLOS, Fantasmic, H&V

Epcot- Journey in to Imagination (<3 figment) shopping in the WS, Garden Grill (which I will be missing this time!)

AK- we avoid AK, no one in our group (except for my step bro but he doesn't count) likes it

DTD is a must for us every trip as is the AC

 

[DisneyGirl2005]

Magic Kingdom - Buzz, Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Pirates
MGM - Fantasmic because I have never seen it
AK - Lion King and Safari
Epcot - Test Track because every time we have tried to ride it, it has been broken or closed due to bad weather. I am determined that this summer we will ride Test Track! I think it will be the first place we go to on our first day in the World!

I must urge anyone going to take the Magical Fireworks Cruise.... We arrived 1/2 hour early, there was a table set up w/ all kinds of chocolate... Pies, cakes, cookies, eclairs, etc. Also had fresh fruit for those who diet on vacation. They also had a set up of Hot and Cold drinks... from water, soda to coffee, tea and cocoa..
Capt. Hook and Smee came out and for about an hour, took pictures, signed autographs and just mingled w/ crowd.
We were then boarded onto boats.
We saw the electric parade on the lake then, after a rousing yelling match with the other boat sat in awe as we watched the fireworks over the kingdom. Close enough to see Tink fly across....
The whole time out we sang songs, celebrated anniversarys, birthdays, etc.
We played trivia for prizes, and on the way back in were read the story of Peter Pan.
And what do you know... Peter Pan was at the dock to meet us...
We were a group of 8 with the youngest being 24... We all thought this was truly a highlight of the whole trip... Couldn't even imagine how much it would be enjoyed by children....

 

[Maherae]

Must qualify this as the Magical Gatherings Fireworks Cruise is for groups of 8 or more. Have seen a post where a group of 6 was looking for others to join them. Don't know if this would work as you should have to register with Magical Gatherings.

Thanks again everyone! For any new comers to this thread ...share your thoughts?

 

[BostonRob]

Thanks again everyone! For any new comers to this thread ...share your thoughts?

I'll pick one from each park.

Magic Kingdom - I'm gonna go with Dole Whip. There are too many great rides here to single out one.

Epcot - Definately Dinner at the San Angel Inn. What a unique setting.

MGM - there's something about the Great Movie Ride that I love. I'm not a movie buff or anything, but I love that ride.

Animal Kingdom - Khali River Rapids I guess. I've only been to AK once, so I don't really have enough experience to say anything there is a 'must do'
