5. See Mickey's Philharmagic, Fantasmic, Star Tours, Hall of Presidents, and Carousel of Progress (for some reason, I never get around to doing these)
8. Ride the Liberty Square Riverboat
You have to do these. Star Tours, Carousel of Progress, and the Riverboat are family favorites. DH and I like Hall of Presidents; DS not so much. However, DS loves Philharmagic because of Donald. Fantasmic is good, but we don't see it every visit.
Do the tequila flight in Mexico at Epcot. That was on our list the last three trips and we didn't do it yet.

We love La Cava. I will have to add the tequila flight to my list, maybe when we go in March
4. Visit in the off-season - not going to happen until I retire in 17 years or win the lotto
5. 24 hour event - again not until I retire & I probably won't make it past midnight by that point.
For me, it's when DS gets older or graduates. We don't like to take him out of school, so it's hard to do the non-school holiday events.
I would love to just be able to work there for a year after I retire, maybe in retail, food & beverage, at an attraction, or as a VIP tour guide. Maybe someday.
5) All the major rides at night time.
That's a good one. We did Jungle Cruise at night last trip, and it was really different. 7DMT at night is more fun, because you can't see what's coming up. I want to the Peoplemover at night too. The railroad is awesome during sunset; the view at the Main Street Station of the World, especially the Contemporary, is beautiful.
4. Take a "double dip" cruise (
Castaway Cay twice in the same trip)
I would like to do this too. Castaway Cay is our favorite cruise line private island.
I guess just going back to Disney would be on my bucket list. We just returned from a week long trip yesterday. We me, DH, dd(16), and ddbff(15). We had such a great time even though the heat made it hard to embrace the Christmas ambiance. We stayed at the beach club resort which we All loved. My DD is 16, so I figured this might be our fifth and final trip for a long time. Teenagers aren't too much into characters and my DD has never been into thrill rides like TOT or Everest. But everyone had so much fun that they were talking about returning again in a year or two. I hope. We splurged for the Wild Africa Trek and had the most amazing time. Also, everyone loved the wishes dessert party - which was a great way to watch wishes since the crowds were so Large. If we return, I would like to approach touring differently- maybe slow down the pace a little, which will be challenging but fun to plan. I would like to Take time to enjoy our resort. I would like to do one of the experiences At The Seas in Epcot , the behind the seeds tour at The Land and behind the steam strains tour in MK. I would like to spend more time in the Africa area of MK - maybe get a drink from the Dawa bar and watch the drummers. We have stayed at BCV and BC, Okw, Akv- kindani and AOA - Cars. I would love to stay at one of the MK resorts even if it's just for a few days. Just as a side note we did typhoon lagoon but I much preferred our time at blizzard beach in the past.
I hope we can enjoy going as a family, even after DS grows up and moves out. It's easier to slow down the more often you go. Each time I plan for a little bit of a slower trip, where we spend more time at the resort. The Steam Train Tour does look fun. DH and I actually grabbed a drink at Dawa last trip while waiting for our Tusker House ADR, and the whole family played on the drums
The drummers were taking a break I guess.
5. Be a CM (my current plan for retirement)
6. Get an annual pass
7. Attend
MVMCP,
MNSSHP, Food and Wine
8. Be selected as family of the day at MK.
9. Be in front of the castle on the first day of retirement as the day begins at my former place of work.
I am with you on #5
It's a secret dream of mine. I want to go often enough that I can justify an AP too. I would like to attend the parties too; I have a plan in the works for F&W. With you on #8 too. #9 is priceless
Work as an Imagineer
Stay in the castle
Skipper a Jungle Cruise
Go to all the Disney parks
Sigh, not sure if this is my bucket list or my list of impossible things.
I know some of mine might be impossible too, but you have to keep dreaming
Imagineer might be hard, but maybe you could do something in retirement, like run attractions or be a VIP Tour guide
Staying in the castle would be sweet. Have you thought about doing the Jungle Cruise Sunrise Safari Breakfast? There was a good report on DIS. It looked like fun.

Key to the Kingdom tour
La Nouba( crossing that one off this summer)
Fireworks cruise
Rent a boat from marina
Aulani
Roy and or Walt suite on fantasy
I want to do KTTK too. La Nouba is good; you won't be disappointed. I had forgotten about the fireworks cruises. I have wanted to rent a boat from the marina since the first time we visited (not stayed) at Poly when I was a kid
I am not as sold on Aulani, because Hawaii is just so magical anyway. Those suites on the Fantasy would be sweet
Glad I checked it. The responses are fun.
