[Steph9072]

This will be our first trip as a family to WDW. My first trip in like 12 years. Being the planner I am gathering all the info I can.

That being said I was wondering what is your families must sees when at WDW?

Character Connection at Innovations West
Turtle Talk with Crush
(Nemo ride was kinda lame...)

MK
Pooh - very cute
Dumbo - just because you have to!
Peter Pan - my older dd and I both adored this one!
It's a Small World - my little one especially loved this!

Pirates - both girls enjoyed this, though DD5 was a little apprehensive
Spectromagic - AMAZING
Mickey's Philharmagic - we all loved this, and saw it 3 times in a row, thanks to low crowds
Buzzlightyear spin - again, we all like this one
Aladdin's Magic Carpet - It's just Dumbo again, but fun for all ages

Make sure that you schedule at least one character meal in there. Even your DSS will enjoy (even though he might not admit it!) Chef Mickeys is great!

Staying at a Disney Resort is great too!
Values are great for younger kids, but my DD 8 and DS 7 love CBR!

The monorail! Ride in the front on the Epcot route at least once- it's a blast! DS4 could happily skip the parks and just ride the monorail all day.

My kids are 6 and 4 and love Big Thunder Mtn, the Goofy coaster, Buzz, TTA, those rockets above Tomorrowland, the Tiki Room (I don't get it either...), Haunted Mansion and most of Fantasyland.

At Epcot- Test Track, Maelstrom, Nemo's Seas, Soarin', Imagination "playground" as well as the jumping fountain, the Kidcot stops. DS loves Living with the land and DD is bored to death. Oh, they both did the thing in the Land food court where they got to bake cookies and loved it.

At AK- everything! We love AK! They could spend hours at the dinosaur playground. Beware! Though that would be a great place to take the younger kids while the older does the "big" rides.

At MGM- Lights, Motors, Action! and the Honey, I Shrunk playground. My kids don't like to sit through shows and aren't quite old enough for the thrillers so for us this park is mostly about meeting characters.

Oh, I forgot Mickey's Philharmagic at MK. It's awesome!

My kids always love Haunted Mansion too. I haven't been there in about 10 years now ,and have a little on again. We will hit our old favorites that my older children liked as kids and check out some new stuff too.
