They are gone, and have been for 18 months.

Thanks!

In between Voyage of the Little Mermaid and Pixar Place. Great walk through section with displays of the history of Walt (personally) and the growth of Disney, followed by a movie about Walt.

In AK...Festival of the Lion King is my must do every trip! The music and the tumble monkeys are fabulous! Someone else mentioned DeVine...incredible!!!! Watch the daily park schedule for her appearances.
We also like renting a Boston Whaler at CR. it's a great way to relax and ride around Bay Lake.

I'll also throw in a vote for DeVine! It's great to just watch other people's reactions when they realize what's going on.

Some of these may have already been mentioned but...

AK - I'm blanking on the name now, but the dinosaur play land. My kids loved taking a break from the attractions and just climbing and exploring. Definitely DeVine.

HS - LOVE Muppets 3D--my guys are horribly disappointed it will be closed for rehab on our next trip! And the Honey I Shrunk the Kids play area--same as above.

EP - Okay, I'll admit it, we actually enjoy Ellen's Energy Adventure. Not the most popular, but my kids really do get a kick out of it. They LOVE Club Cool and tasting all the different flavors. Innoventions has lots of neat little areas with fun activities. They're all sponsored, of course, by different companies but there's sometimes a little take-away that makes a great souvenir. We still have our Velcro frogs from our first visit in 2007! And I wouldn't recommend it for little kids, but my husband took the Behind the Seeds tour and loved it--plans to do it again this year. It goes more in depth into what you see on Living with the Land ride. It's not very long and very inexpensive in the Disney tour realm.

MK - Definitely Tom Sawyer's Island. And the riverboat if you just want a relaxing break. There's not much to see, but you can sit and relax for a bit before the next big ride. And Monsters Laugh Floor---hysterical!!!!!!

Why do you like Ft. Wilderness beach in particular? Just wondering, thinking of doing an afternoon/evening at FW and Wishes/EWP would be a nice touch.

We try to do something different each trip....last year, after dinner, we took the boat from DHS to Boardwalk.....it was awesome !!!! We spent some time walking around the Boardwalk area, did some shopping and got some treats in the candy store...then took the boat back to DHS in time for Fantasmic.....


Another thing on my to do list, is to leave the MK and go to the Poly.....then watch the water parade and the fireworks from the beach.

 

[ThereAndBackAgain]

Peoplemover/Tomorrowland Transit Authority (at night) in MK

This sounds like so much fun!!!!

 

[katrina1122]

Not an attraction per se. Just sit on a bench and watch for cm's. Often you'll see them doing something that's not what you think they are going to do like street art with water and broom even though they are dressed as the janitorial staff. These aren't listed 'performances', you have be looking for them. We've seen some really cool things this way. Take the longer paths to see the flowers, etc. Boat from POFQ to DTD, so calm and relaxing. Taking time to pin trade and talk with other guests and cm's...we've met some amazing people this way. Behind the Steam Train tour...I did it for dh (no interest in trains), it was Amazing!

We love to watch the nighttime movies outdoors at our resort. It feels like you're at the old drive-in movies!
And see the little movie/cartoons on the Main St. building on the right as you enter-is that still there?
We always get individual bags of jelly beans at Goofy's near the Bear Jamboree in MK on one of our last days- and TRY to save them for the plane ride home. They help our ears
We love the animation/art lesson at HS too!

 

[akayek31]

My must do is to take a day and get a Fiesta Margarita from Mexico and go watch all of British Revolutions sets in the United Kingdom. They sing different songs each set. They are the nicest guys to meet.

Also I love watching Captain Jack's Pirate Tutorial in Magic Kingdom. The one we saw in February looked just like him.

We stayed at FW Cabins a few years ago. Watching Wishes from the beach was just a nice change of pace. It was quiet, they piped in the music, and the kids got to dig in the sand while we relaxed on chairs on the beach. I enjoy any time at WDW that is away from the crowds.

We love to stop and watch the "impromptu" performances. My son is a major ham and is always dancing front and center. It's one of his favorite things to do.

I also forgot to mention watching "Push" the trash can in Tomorrowland before. He makes some corny jokes and gets kids to dance and do silly things. DS asked specifically if we can go meet the talking trash can again next time.

That sounds really nice! I usually to go Poly to see Wishes but it does get crowded. If we are already at FW it would be a nice end to our evening. The cabins were my favorite on-site stay, too.

1. Tom Sawyer Island
2. Sum of All Thrills
3. Admire the mosaic tile wall/story of Cinderella on the walkway through Cinderella's castle.
4. So basic, but for some reason the popcorn and pretzels at WDW are so good-they are must eats.

Walt Disney: One Man's Dream in HS
The museum and the movie are both so special.
