The best I have is I got to ride the boat back from MK....all by myself!!
We went to Cindys Royal Table for the first seating of the day. We didn't want to stay at MK that day and got on the boat to head back. It was at capacity going over to MK and it was just DW, DS(4), DS(5) and me. Of course a couple of CMs and chip and dale...who we got all to ourselves...
 
Driving back from DTD thru the backside of Saratoga Springs, I didn't make the turn towards SSR, instead I ended up at the backside of the maintenance buildings. Boy... that was weird.

I take pictures of WDW restrooms if they're unique or pretty!
 
I once watched the 4th of July fireworks from the rooftop of the Mexico pavilion.

:earsboy:
 
Just before closing time, we walked onto the Safari ride at AK. I thought they'd turn us away but they allowed us on. We got an entire truck to ourselves and the driver was sooo cool. She drove extra slowly and we even had to stop frequently because all the animals, who were heading back to their pens or whatever, were blocking the road. The ride took a long time and we had a blast talking to the driver and seeing the animals up close. Great experience!

I'm sure that I'm not the only one who as done this, but on my last trip in February DS7 and I played checkers on one of the tables in front of the Frontierland Shootin' Arcade. It was a great break from running from ride to ride!

Back in October, I rode with my wife on the bus to the MK, as she was heading over to the GF for a spa treatment. I waited for the ferry to leave MK and go to TTC and on to EPCOT.

I was the ONLY person on the ferry, except for the captain, a CM, Pluto, and his handler.
 
These are all so cool!

Dont know if we are the only ones who have done this, but we sang for FPs to TT when they were all gone for the day.

We were also allowed into Epcot without a ticket one night.

Few things come to mind.

When I was a CM in the VIP area of Living Seas I would eat my lunch in one of the windows that overlooked the aquarium. I could look across and see the guests in Seabase Alpha.

Also when I trained at World of Motion and Horizons (MoHo) we would sit on a ledge underneath the Imax screen on our break and watch the movie in Horizons and we walked thru both rides one nite after hours and took some fun pix with the audio animatronic figures! :rolleyes1

I am sure others have done this, but...

At our Fairy Tale Wedding our Cocktail Hour was going on while DH & I had our pictures taken. Afterwards they put us in the White Hall Room in the GF to wait. Well the fireworks started in the MK. DH & I went out on the patio. It was just us, all alone, watching a great show "just for us" on our wedding night. :)

Also we danced our last dance at our Fairy Tale Wedding to the music from Spectromagic. :goodvibes

Our wedding event manager snagged us a copy of the music directly from the parade (had Jiminy Cricket & everything on it).

The DJ started playing it about 20 minutes before the end of our reception at the GF. Everyone LOVED it.
 
One year at MVMCP we were the only ones on Jungle Cruise. After talking to us for a minute and realizing we had been on JC about 100 times, the CM asked us if we would like to hear some interesting facts, rather than the usual script and corney jokes.(which we also love BTW)
It was great! She let my DS(5), "drive" the boat, while she told us all kind of stuff, and even stopped in a couple spots to show us hidden mickey's, and in one case a hidden minnie!
 
So in 1996 we planned our honeymoon at DW. Everyone in my family tried to talk us out of it. It was the strangest thing they had ever heard of. So I just thought for sure we would be the only people to ever go to Disney World on our honeymoon. :rotfl2: I really was shocked to meet about 100 other couples on their honeymoon.
 
I think I've told this but here goes: It was 1972 and we were going on our summer vacation. We were driving to FL but my parents didn't want to stop at WDW :confused3 as it had recently opened. We were touring all over and also stopping at a cousins in AL. My cousin had connections and said he'd get us tkts to WDW :Pinkbounc :cheer2: and we should go.. :cool1:

We get to MK and go to guest services for our tkts.....my cousin arranged a tour for us and we had to wait for the tourguide. We were sure that we were in a group of 50 people or so. Nope, it was the 3 of us and our tourguide for the day. We did not wait on any lines as she knocked on side doors for us and we got right in. She said she had just had the Shah of Iran as a guest to take on a tour. We were in awe of WDW and felt like royalty. princess:

We were also given tickets for the next day and gee, we had to wait on lines like everyone else... :rotfl:
 
As a child (12YO) I rode in the front of a monorail for 3 complete circuits. Of course, this was in '73, so the place wasn't as busy back then.

As an adult, passionately kissed my DW :love2: :love: .
 
I was down for my 23rd B-day with a couple guy friends of mine and we were staying offsite. On our way to get the car we boarded one of the parking trams and my friend tipped off the tram driver that it was my b-day.

By the time we started rolling, the tram driver had everyone on board singing "Happy Birthday" to me, all the while he was singing through the microphone. I was mortified at the time, but it's cool to look back on.

Guess this could have happened to others.... but I like to think I'm the only one treated to that :earsgirl:

We honeymooned there back in 1988 when it was a little more unusual, and no one we knew could understand why we were going to Disney on our honeymoon. Still there were plenty of other honeymooners around.

Can't say others have not done these but there may not be many who can say they have:

1. Rode the Plaza Swan Boats at MK (you need to go back a long way for that). Similarly, went to the Melvin the Moose Character Breakfast (possibly the only one where the characters talked and sung and danced)

2. We got that very center table at Hoop Dee Doo (sits on your lap and acts like she knows you and in the spotlight for Shenandoah). Different time there, my daughter was the can-can girl.

3. Hit a hole in one on No. 17 at Osprey Ridge (one of only two in my life of golf).
 
After a bad thunderstorm in mid-January, just about everyone left MK. The park was still going to be open for another hour or so, so I decided to ride Splash Mount. Not only was I the only one on the boat, but I was the only guest for as far as the eye could see! It was both fun and eerie to be the ONLY person on SM, especially when you go through the part where you are on the outside overlooking the park.

That would be very cool, you got lucky and had someone who loves their job.
 
Well this is Disneyland but that counts too right? Last November we rode Splash Mountain 5 times in a row without getting off. It was fabulous!

That's cool also. Not many 5 yr old JC captains out there.
