What is the absolute first place you go or do when you enter the park? We always ride the train to the back of the park and work ourselves toward the front.
 
I stand for a minute to admire Cinderellas castle, then head strait to POTC!
 
It depends on the time of day and when the last time we were there was. If it has been awhile we head straight for a ride. If we have been there recently we stroll along and take in the sights- looking and pointing out little touches to each other (like the music and streetlight changes between lands.
 
We always do at elast 2 days at MK on any trip. One day it's straight to Fantasyland. The other day we start in Tomorrowland
 

we go right to tomorrowland and ride buzz lightyear! to infinity and beyond!
 
Wife and I usually just stand and take in the sounds and atmosphere of Main Street while admiring the castle. Then it's usually off to Space Mountain.
 
We grab fast passes to Space Mountain for later, ride it while the line is low and then I try to beat the pants off my husband and his high score at Buzz Lightyear.
 
I can't for the life of me remember.

I think that's just a place we stroll around and ride whatever we feel like at the time :) If the line's long we just grab FP's. That's the beauty of going off season - spontenaity!!
 
I usually get teary-eyed and have to pinch myself because I can't believe we're actually there!

We head straight to Fantasyland to ride Dumbo - not because it's our favorite ride but because we know how fast the line can grow. DD is getting older (she just turned 9 last month) so I'm sure that tradition won't last much longer. That's both a good thing and and bad thing! My baby's getting so big!

Head straight to Fantasyland and ride EVERYTHING there before it gets crowded! If the kids want to ride Dumbo that day, we go there first. If not, PP.
 
First, take a deep breath because I made it there.
Second, buy some special (usually Mickey-shaped) snack
Third, take off for Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear!
 
This year we were there at opening twice.

We headed for Fantasyland on the first day and rode Pooh first (3 times).

On the second day we went to Tomorrowland and hit Buzz first .
 
WE just stand, look, smell and drink in the thought that we're back, actually in Walt Disney World. Now, after 38 some visits, children grown, and us in our late 50's, alot of memories come back right from this spot. The smell of the pop corn wagon, clippy clop of the horse trolley, and the blare of the train steam whistle. Its amazing, after all these years and visits the park is still the same, holds all the wonders we discovered years ago and experienced with our children growing up and now stand, still in awe, ourselves, still in awe. Nothing can take its place or erase the memories, the magic goes on forever.

Its one feeling checking into our favorite resort as well as stepping into our room for the first day but nothing says we're back as passing the turnstiles at the MK, and emerging from the train tunnel into the beginning of Main Street. Off we go into the Eporium for a hint of souveniors and back to Main Street to get the smell of Casey's hot dog until we cross that bridge into Adventureland where we usually begin our day at the Magic Kingdom, pure heaven, nothing more needs be said.!
 
We normally go to the partners statue and then go to tomorrowland. this year, I have us going to the partners statue and then adventureland.
 
Stop in for a haircut for the kiddos and then a picture in front of the castle. Sometimes we stop to buy a hat at Le Chapeau.
 
Take a deep breath of main street air and head straight to Fantasyland for my youngest DD, to get it out of her system. :goodvibes
 
First day at MK - head straight to Dumbo after a picture by the castle. Hit all of Fantasyland before crowd gets there.

2nd day at MK - head straight for SM - Baby swap with DW - DW and DD go to Buzz.
 
We always do EMH, head for Space Mountain, where the family does Space Mountain a few times before the line gets long, then all four of us ride the Blue Line (TTA). We're at Magic Kingdom once we are "welcomed" to Mickey's Star Traders by the voice on the TTA!
