Anyone who has stayed onsite has heard (and had it stitched in their brain) Stacy's Must Do Disney list (it needs an update....).

What is your must do? If you had to make a bucket list of things that you would be disappointed if you missed, what's on it?

For me:
MK: PotC, Jungle, BTMR, HM are about it. A couple of others I don't like to miss, but can live if I do like Monsters Inc.
Epcot - Spaceship Earth, Spaceship Earth, Spaceship Earth. Test Track. Eat at Via Nappoli. Those are the only Must do's we have.
HS - Toy Story. Indiana Jones.
Actually don't have any at Animal Kingdom. Often skip the park altogether.

Most people looking at this list are going to wonder why I don't have any of the typical A list rides (EE, Soarin, ToT, etc). Problem there is DW gets motion sickness, so we tend to go for easy rides.

Anyway... what do you feel disappointed if you don't do?
 
Must Do

MK - BTMR, POTC, Haunted Mansion and Peter Pan (We love eating at the Plaza)
EPCOT - Spaceship Earth (I still enjoy Universe of Energy) (We love eating at Coral Reef)
HS - Tower of Terror is a MUST ... TSM (We love Fantasmic) (We love eating at Mama Melrose)
AK - EE, Safari (We love It's Tough To Be A Bug) lol (we don't have a must to eat here)
 
My only real must do is Splash Mountain. Maybe because it was the first ride my kids and I ever went on years ago, but as soon as I hear that music I am at Disney World. I would probably add BTMR, Small World, Peter Pan, Tower of Terror, and Dinosaur.
 
The top of my list are Beauty & the Beast & the Lion King show & riding the monorail. Then probably Peter Pan, small world, pirates of the Caribbean & splash mountain. Space mountain & tower of terror used to be on my list but I can't do them anymore. I also love Disney springs, the snack food & having a drink in a cool glass.
 

Thankfully after enough trips, my only must do, is relax and take in the scenery. OK, I must see wishes.. that's really it :D
 
MK-Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder, Mad Tea Party, Peoplemover, it's a small world, and Dole Whip
Epcot-Spaceship Earth is really my only must-do...and school bread
HS-ToT! It's my favorite ride, not only at Disney, but of any ride I've ever been on. I love Fantasmic, but I'm not going to be seeing it on my next trip and that's really the only thing I wish I could work into my schedule :(
AK-I have no must-dos at AK...in fact, I usually skip this park altogether or only spend a couple hours there before hopping somewhere else.
 
Here is our Must Do list:

Epcot: Soarin', Living with the Land, Spaceship Earth, walk through the aquarium
MK: Peter Pan, Philharmagic, Haunted Mansion, PoTC, CoPn the lower patio looking out toward Everset
AK: Safari, Lion King, It's Tough to be a Bug, lunch at Flame Tree BBQ o
HS: Star Tours (just me), Muppet Movie, Great Movie Ride, One Man's Dream

Then we have the list of maybe every other visit: American Experience, Ride the train around MK, Pangani Trail, Maharaja Trek, Indiana Jones Stunt Show

After that we have the list of "...gee it's been a while since we've done xxxx, the line looks short, let's do it.
 
MK: All the mountains, Carousel of Progress, People Mover, and Haunted Mansion.
Epcot: Spaceship Earth, margaritas in Mexico, and dinner at Rose & Crown, hopefully with a balcony view of Illuminations
AK: Safari and Everest
HS: RnRC and ToT. Streets of America used to be one but :mad:
 
We live close and visit often, but no trip is complete without riding the monorail - especially through the Contemporary. Otherwise, my must do list are the classics at the MK - SM, BTMRR, IASW, POTC, and tiki birds.
