What shouldn't I miss at Disney World?

[V2000]

Hi there!

I am planning my 2015 October trip.

I am planning on going to the Food and Wine Festival and the MNSSHP at Magic Kingdom.
Tell me what I shouldn't miss out on anywhere in Disney World?? So far we are going to Epcot and Magic Kingdom but I have an extra two days to plan. Not sure how to make the most out of those two days.

In your experience what is your favorite things to do or your favorite places to eat?

I have not been to Food & Wine, but have read many trip reports of those who have - they have all had a common theme - not having enough time to spend at all the food booths! I would love to get to F&W someday, and I am going to be sure that I have at least 2 full days to explore all the food booths! Have a great trip!

My favorite five things to do at WDW are Soarin, Splash Mountain, renting SeaRaycers on the Seven Seas Lagoon, breakfast at Crystal Palace and the wave pool at Typhoon Lagoon (and the mini-donuts).

Seeing Mickey & Minni , Haunted Manson, Its a small world, Splash and space mountain.

Epcot is crazy on the weekends for FW. Test Track is the only ride I like, besides Malstrom but that's gone the way of frozen mania.

Toy Story Mania is soooo much fun! DHS didn't really do it for me. But I could spend all day on Toy Story Mania and Star Tours! Not even joking.

I loved the Lights, Motors, Action show.

Surprisingly, I really enjoyed Animal Kingdom A LOT! I wish I had planned more time there. The Lion King and the Nemo shows were really good! Especially Nemo!

The Safari and Dinosaur were some of my favorite experiences. I wish I had seen Flights of wonder!

My favorite ride is Test Track.

Space Mountain, Soarin', Splash Mountain, Expedition Everest, MSEP/Wishes, and of course the Tomorrowland Transit Authority

SeaRaycers? I will have to look that up. Sounds interesting.

Favorite food: Le Cellier <3

I recently have loved exploring the maharajah jungle trek and taking the train to the planet watch section in AK. Goats entertain me though.

THE VOICES OF LIBERTY in Epcot are *not* to be missed. If you're going to be spending time doing the F&W in Epcot, you can just pop in and listen to one of their sets at the American Pavilion in the World Showcase.

Carousel of time at MK, getting a Dole Whip at MK,Toy Story Mania at HS and Space Ship Earth at EPCOT are a few of my favorites!

Most important to do - take your time and just experience the magic. Most people spend so much time trying to fit everything in they forget to just enjoy it. It's not possible to get it all in one trip, or two trips, or three trips so don't get yourself in a tizzy trying. Stop and enjoy the place for a little bit.

Oh and for GeorgiaDawg7 - go dogs - I live in Athens.

Is this your first trip?

MK: Splash Mountain, Dumbo at night, Meet Winnie the Pooh The Enchanted Tiki Room (if you're interested in original park nostalgia), eat a pineapple Dole Whip, or Dole Whip float, see the Wishes fireworks and try watching from Fantasyland. Watching the fireworks from Main Street can be...problematic.

Epcot: Spaceship Earth, World Showcase, The Seas, eat at the ice cream shop in France -L'artisan de glace- if it happens that you can't have dairy, they have the best non-dairy sorbet ever.

If you decide on another park:

Hollywood Studios: The art of animation drawing class, Star Tours, Tower of Terror (I don't ride it anymore, but if you love thrills...it's amazing.) The Beauty and the Beast show.
Animal Kingdom: Kilimanjaro Safari (earlier in the day, or later in the day is better), the golden weaver aviary, and just enjoying the nature paths. Everest is supposed to be fantastic, but I haven't personally tried it.

That's a super hard question to answer ... do you like thrill rides, dark rides, no rides (hubby falls into this category) eating at sit-down restaurants or strictly counter service?

We spent 2 weeks at the end of Oct/beginning of Nov and still came home with the feeling of "dang we didn't get to do everything we wanted to" No matter what you plan on doing, you will NOT get it all done so go with the idea that whatever you do manage to accomplish is gravy on the amazing meal that is a trip to DISNEY!!

This is my second trip but I feel like there is so much I missed out on. We rushed through Epcot which was a mistake. Never been to AK. Not sure if I am going to do that this trip. We are going to MK MNSSHP, Epcot for Food & Wine Festival, and still need to fill in my other two days. Might want to try a water park.
What is at the seas?
Yes! I will try the ice cream shop in France. I didn't know they had one. Sounds delicious.

I mainly wanted to know everyone's favorites.

The restaurants we already tried on our last visit 2 years ago was BOG and Teppan Edo. We really enjoyed those.

I'm down for everything! Since there is a lot of options and I won't be able to see everything, I was hoping to hear what others like the best.

There isn't much we really like at the AK, but we love the water parks (especially BB)!

The Seas is now really The Seas with Nemo and Friends. There is a Nemo ride that drops you off in an aquarium. There are dolphins and manatees and a nice variety of aquatic life.
