So, When you went to WDW, What Didn't You Do?

[WebmasterMaryJo]

<font color=navy>I took my rascals on our only family vacay to WDW in 1999, and my dad, his wife, and her grandson came along.

We were there for 9 nights, and during that whole time we never rode the monorail - none of them. So, I've never heard the WDW version of "mantenganse alejado de la puerta" like so many of you have. The phrase I know, which is said so often at DL is "permanecer sentados por favor."

Another thing we didn't do, and I really wanted to was to go on Carousel of Progress. I still remember the theme song from its days at Disneyland (and that was a LONG time ago)

I also didn't do Pleasure Island, Blizzard Beach, Jelly Rolls at the Boardwalk, none of the mini-golf games ... Totally skipped Fantasyland, never visited the Deluxe hotels near the Magic Kingdom Lagoon ...

... and some more than that ....

I have a feeling that our next visit to Walt Disney World will be another whole new experience.

I still haven't gone on Tower of Terror (my dh says he's going to force me on it this summer). We haven't done CRT yet - though I've heard it's something we should do. We haven't gone to Jellyrolls either, but mainly because we've got the little ones - so it'll be a little while yet. And the biggy: {{{drumroll please}}} we've NEVER been to a Disney waterpark

However, we plan to do TOT and at least one waterpark this summer.

 

[DocRafiki]

I've never done any of the water parks, Disney Quest, the putt putt, or Wide World of Sports. I haven't done Pleasure Island in 12 years.

 

[Cindy B]

I have never done Pleasure Island
I have never done Cirque
I haven't experienced any of the more "finer" dining establishments

 

[dzneelvr]

We've never yet stayed at one of the Deluxe resorts. I try to get excited about it, but our satisfaction is so high with the ASMo that I just can't bring myself to spend the extra $$. ASMo so fits our WDW-style (late to rise, leisurely breakfast and pool, then off to Parks til midnight!) that I just don't see "fixing something that ain't broke"!

Maybe DH and I will do it once the kiddies are off to college???

WDW June 24-July 4 here we come!!

Have never done Mission to Mars and don't think I will. Any ride where they pass out the "little" bags I think I can skip.

 

[TNCarole]

There are lots of things we haven't done (yet!):

DisneyQuest
TOT
Rockin' Rollercoaster
Mission:Space
Stayed on property (we own at Vistana Villages, so stay there)
Eaten at a resort restaurant
MNSSHP
Food and Wine Festival
Flower and Garden Festival

I'm sure I'm leaving stuff out. We're going back in May (for the Flower and Garden Festival!) and I hope to do some of the above (except for Mission:Space... ).

And some day... I want to stay on property. It just sounds SO cool!

I'm with you, I already decided that I am going to skip that one in November, I don't want to think someone is going to be puking beside me on a ride in DW.
I have never gone onThe ride in MGM with the fast car that goes upside down, I don't even remeber the name that is hoe much I stay away.
Haven't been to Cirque, jellyrolls, (going in Novemeber, never did put put and believe it or not the last 3 times to Disney I havent riden a monarail. The list goes on but this is what makes each time going back a new experience.

 

[disneyjunkie]

Here are the things that I can think of that we haven't done yet

Dinosaur
Timekeeper
Hall of Presidents
BoardWalk activities
BET
Cirque
Disney Quest
TL
MVMCP
MNSSHP
Mini Golf
Illuminations Cruise

We've only taken one trip to WDW. My son was 9 then and was afraid to ride TOT,RNRC, and Space Mountain. When we return in April, he'll be 12. He has told me he wants to ride the 2 1\2 rides he missed the last time.

I was able to talk him into riding Space Mountain. Everything was fine for the first few minutes, then the ride broke down. We had to sit there for about 20 minutes before a CM came and walked us out. Once outside my son looked at me and said "I'm NOT riding that again." Of course that was our first day in the MK.

The last trip we did, I had made ressies for the Afternoon Tea and my DH and DSis decided that they did not want to go.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Oh goodness, MJ, so many, so many.

A few would be...Pleasure Island, other than a mid-day walk through when there with family in '99, V&A's, water parks, minature golf, never have seen Fort Wilderness or any that goes with it like Hoop-dee-doo, horseback riding, campfire, etc, parasailing (though the kids both did), minature golf, swimming at the resort, MNSSHP (never there at that time yet), Kali, marathon, Alien Encounter (guess I never will), any of the dive tank tours (though have done all the others), Richard Petty DE, fishing, off site discount souvenir shopping, Primeval Whirl, and on and on.

There is sooooo much to do, so little time.............

 

[vald1977]

There are lots of things I haven't done but the one I really regret is never watching Illuminations. That is a big one I'm not missing next trip. I've also never seen Magic Kingdom fireworks or Spectromagic, seen many of the shows at MGM, or seen the parade at MGM. And of course, there are at least three new rides since our last trip .

I haven't been to Pleasure Island or water parks either but that's because I have no desire to do so.

 

[joats]

The one thing we keep saying we are going to do and never have done is go to the water parks.
Maybe on our next trip....

 

[MosMom]

I've never done Hall of Presidents or Universe of Energy - I may have done Hall when I was too young to remember but it never interested me when I was older. Now that I have young ones, I'm afraid they would get fidgety in it. We went to the MK alone one day but Hall was closed to add Pres. Bush. Someday I'll try it.

 

[AspiringCindy]

The Festival of the Lion King(AK)!

 

[Phrebert]

Blizzard Beach it was closed when we were there.

 

[KJo719]

There are many things we haven't done yet, but the one that I wish we had was watched Illuminations. We were saving it for the last night of our honeymoon and it ended up pouring that night. We decided that is what we are doing the first night of our next trip- whenever that may be.

 

[catsrule]

We don't do Pleasure Island. We just aren't partiers. I still wanna ride the boats in the lake someday.

 

[Alice28]

There's TOO much! All the more reason to go back, right?

Have not done (& want to do):
Blizzard Beach
Visit the Animal Kingdom Lodge
Beauty and the Beast stage show (although I have seen it at DL)
Dinosaur
Eat at California Grill (had drinks up there though)
Eat at Beaches & Cream
See Impressions de France
Go on Journey into your imagination
Hoop Dee Doo Review

ALL of these things I had penciled in to do on my last two trips, and yet just didn't get accomplished for one reason or another.
