Skip Via Napoli. You have been warned! :)

Our first time thing last week was the Keys To The Kingdom tour. Definitely the highlight of our trip. 7D was another first. Glad we had Fastpasses. I wouldn't wait more than 10 minutes for it.
 
-7DMT
-Be Our Guest (assuming I can get a lunch FP)
-Boma (dinner one night, breakfast the next morning)
-touring with a DSLR and taking lots of pictures of cool things. Last time we went, (our first trip) the only cameras we had were on our phones. Very much looking forward to having the good camera with us, especially on Kilimanjaro Safari!
 
Seems like everything! We've never been at Christmas before, so anything to do with the holidays.

Tried to get all new to us restaurants, BOG, Artist Point, HDDR, 1900PF, Akershus. LOL! It looks like we've never eaten at DW before, but we have.

Meeting A&E & Merida (hopefully). I'm going to try a Dole Whip - been to DW at least 4 times, and never had one.

Getting excited! We leave on Friday.

Squirlz is correct -- Via Napoli, the only really bad meal we've had Disney. We've felt we've paid too much for some (ok, most!), we've had a few that didn't live up the hype, but nothing on par with the bad pizza we got at Via Napoli.

Our firsts for our last visit (next one is too far off to know plans):
stayed at AKL
MNSSHP -- loved it
technically not Disney but Splitsville -- loved it
the Mara
BTM -- I'm a scary-ride-phobe so had never done this...found out it was a piece of cake
China & Canada movies - yay for China, meh for Canada
 
New Years Eve WDW! Private Fireworks Cruise (Dec. 30th MK Pre-Show)! DD's Sweet-Sixteen! Osborne Christmas Lights! Resort Holiday Decorations! SDMT! Be Our Guest dinner! Bongo's, Yak & Yeti, Via Napoli, Le Cellier, & Boma!

:dancer:
 
Really fun topic!

Our firsts will be:
7DMT:goodvibes

Staying at the Grand Floridian:cool1:

Using park hoppers:)

Tomorrowland dessert party (if we can get it):goodvibes

Visiting at the very end of August:eek:

3 day Disney Dream cruise:banana:

What a bummer to hear! Was it the food that was bad? Do you think it helps that we'll be on the dining plan in regard to concerns about cost?
 
Our firsts for this trip:

Staying at the Grand Floridian! :cloud9:
7DMT
Anna & Elsa M&G, Frozen Sing-Along
Sorcerers of the MK

I'm not going to count the things that I or my husband and I have done but will get to do the first time with our daughter this trip now that she is tall enough. So, taking out Space Mountain and the like, our list:

3. Pick-a-pearl
4. Starting a Disney charm bracelet
5. Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique
 
So many things, as the last trip to WDW I was so green that we didn't pre-plan anything, and missed out on a LOT of stuff because of a bad sunburn that didn't mix well with sunscreen and sweat for the subsequent days :(

*Illuminations
*Fantasmic!
*Princess lunch @ Akershus
