What are your favorite things to do at Disney world?
 
Must do ride: Splash Mountain (nostalgic for me)
Must do restaurant: Jiko (everyone in my family's favorite)
Favorite things to do: shop!, visit the Polynesian (whether we are staying there or not), Epcot (our fav. park), animation class in DHS, relaxing on pool days
 
My girls love Ariel, enchanted tales with belle and we always have to see Mickey
 
We do all of the thrill rides and other small ones at least once, but we must do TSM as much as possible. DH and I compete and make bets.

We always do Ohanas (our fav), WCC, Mama Melrose (not too many choices in HS), Cape May (for DH and crab legs), and just recently added LeCellier and Khona. We do Crystal Palace, Boma, Chef Mickeys about every other trip.

I love to get the white chocolate covered rice crispie treats and bring a few home.

We always try to try at least one maybe two new restaurants a trip and something else new. Last year we did pictures in Epcot for our anniversary.
 

I always have to ride small world Dumbo and the teacups. Always eat at ohana for dinner and always see a movie under the stars
