WDW To-Do Lists- Help me add to it

[Matt]

I have planned quite well, I think, for the major things. However, I want to make a list of things to do or look for at each park that aren't rides and such.

For example,

Magic Kingdom- let my girls get their hair done at the barbershop, try the french toast/loaf thing at the bakery, Go to Belle's Storytime, Wake up Tinkerbell (Highly unlikely but what the heck. We'll try!)

Animal Kingdom-Try and find Devine. Find Pipa.

Epcot-Find the candy lady in Japan, one of the talking water fountains,

MGM- Singing in the rain umbrella, the car you can lift?,



Anything else? I'm not going to search to do all these things but I want to keep a list just in case we have time to do it.

Disney MGM - pull the rope in the well outside of Indiana Jones that says not to pull it.

At Epcot or MK find PUSH the talking trashcan (not sure which park its in)

At MK, my girls enjoy visiting Cinderella's wishing well.

At MK, at Haunted Mansion, finding the wedding ring embedded in the ground outside the ride.

At Epcot, my girls enjoyed baking Toll House cookies and then eating them...all for free.

At Epcot, in Innovations, my girls loved making the free plastic robots.

Thanks for the tip about the cookies. I live with two little and one rather big (DH ) wanna be Cookie Monsters. You have made their day!

I believe there was an age limit between 4 or 5 and 10 I think. I remember them turning away 3 year olds for sure and maybe even 4. I can't remember the cut off age.

At the MK sit at the very last seat in the Train and ask if you can be the conductor for the ride. My boys didn't ask but they got to do this, they made the announcements and they got a special card that they were the condutor. You can also ride in the drivers seat on the Monorial and they will give you a card that says you were co-pilot, ask for the card because some of the drivers are VERY crabby

And can someone tell me what Pipa and Devine are? Thanks!

Have you found the wedding ring? DH and I looked for an hour and still couldn't find it...if you found it where is it?

What is the "candy lady"? Where and what is the umbrella and where is the car you can lift? Sorry to create questions instead of answers. We are going in December and I have never seen these things? It will impress my husband if I show him these. He loves it when I show him "secrets" of WDW!

THanks, WEndy

 

[ILuvTinkerbelle]

WEndy my dh is amazed when I know the secret stuff too! I also would like answers to your questions!

It's in the walkway after you exit the Haunted Mansion; I think it's just past the horse and carriage.

Here's a great picture I found:

There is a traditional japanese candy maker in Japan. She is one of the few women who are in this profession. She makes kids candy and and basically puts on a show while doing it. I think she chooses a kid or two to be assistants. Not sure. She is at Epcot about 5 days a week. I can't recall which day.

I've only heard of the car lift thing. It was there in the past but I'm not sure anymore. A car is on a lift basically and you can pretend to lift it off the ground. I THINK!

Was this recently? We went last year and both DS7 and DD4 did it. They absolutely loved it. There were even kids there that looked to be about 10 or so. We got some really cute photos and video of it. I attached a few at the bottom. Sorry they are not any bigger. I am still trying to fine tune my photo posting skills! I almost hate to admit it but I still have the kids' chefs hats. It's called Jr. Chef and it's sponsored by Nestle Toll House. We tried to do it again last month but they didn't open until 12:30 and we had an ADR at noon.

Sorry, got so busy trying to post those photos that I didn't put in the quote that goes with my previous message.

Now that I reread it, I see what you are talking about. DD was 3 at the time, and had no problem getting in. There were a few others up there that looked to be her age as well. Maybe they have changed things since then. If so it's a shame, because the little ones are really really cute up there with the flour on their sweet faces!

I'll bet it depends on the CMs working OR maybe it is a new policy. We did it on Oct 1 of this year and they definitely turned away 3 year olds and maybe 4 year olds, but I'm not 100% sure on the 4 year olds. Of course, it can never hurt to ask!
