What's on Your Disney Bucket List?

[soniam]

This is not restricted to just the theme parks. It could be museums, cruise, etc. I have listed mine in priority or most likely to occur order.

1. Attend Food & Wine
2. Visit WDW or DLR during Christmas and Halloween
3. Tours at WDW (VIP, Keys to the Kingdom, and Steam Train)
4. Do Southern California Adventures by Disney Tour (This will hit doing a VIP tour at DLR, seeing Imagineering, and visiting Walt's apartment)
5. Attend MK 24 Hour Day
6. Do a Christmas or Halloween DCL cruise
7. Visit each foreign park
8. Stay at all WDW deluxe and moderate hotels and the Grand Californian at DLR
9. Be family of the Day at MK
10. Eat at Club 33
11. Drink a margarita on the Gran Fiesta Tour (I doubt I am brave enough to try this)
12. Attend Star Wars Weekends (I doubt this will ever happen now)

1. Stay at every deluxe and moderate resort at WDW (I am down to GF and BW) and Grand California (Will do in 2016)
2. 4 parks one day (did that in 2014)

Interestingly enough, our upcoming trip kind of is a "bucket list" vacation for my mom. She and I have always said we'd get back to "the Mouse" at least once more during our lives. She's 73 now, has retired from one job but is still working and has recently started entertaining the idea of resigning and finally being a real retiree. (Although yesterday she told me she thinks she'll work until she's 80!). So she mentioned wanting to go on a vacation while she was still working/bringing in extra money and could afford it. Disney was the natural first choice. Finally! Seventeen years after our last trip we're heading back. So this is a bucket list trip of sorts. Now, it isn't a deluxe resort with deluxe (or even regular) dining plan. There are no signature restaurants in our agenda, and we won't be doing anything extravagant while there. But we're staying at the resort we stayed at all those years ago (Coronado), and we do have the Quick Service dining plan. We will be eating at Be Our Guest. Oh, and I guess the one "special" thing is we'll be seeing La Nouba one night! I surprised her with that one, and she's so excited.

For myself, I'd love to go back with my best friend (who also loves Disney) and her soon-to-be-teenage daughter. I think we'd have a blast!
And other than that, I'd love to go during Christmastime and stay at the Wilderness Lodge.

 

[DisneyStarWisher]

In no particular order...
1) Wild Africa Trek and other tours
2) Buy more DVC points so DH and I can stay for longer trips when we retire.
3) Go once a year until I die
4) Buy APs
5) Eat at all of the Disney restaurants
6) Stay at all of the DVC resorts (almost there)
7) Be there for my 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th, and 100th birthday (which I share with WDW since we were both born in 1971)

 

[DisneyFan2013]

Hmm, good question. It's actually hard for me to make this list because I've done most of what I want to do, but I'll try:

1. Go to WDW every year (I've gone the last four years in a row)
2. Meet Mickey Mouse!
3. Stay at a deluxe resort (Preferably WL or AKL)
4. Collect a few more resort refrigerator magnets (so far, I only have Poly and WL)
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)
6. Get front row for Hanson at the Epcot Food & Wine Festival
7. Actually have some wine at the Food & Wine Festival and sample more food besides the kimchi dog and the lamb meatball
8. Ride the Liberty Square Riverboat
9. Have a picture taken at Hollywood Studios (I have photos of myself in every other park, but not this one)
10. Take a better photo with Gaston.

 

[Meriweather]

My list is short....I have done almost everything I want to.

Stay at the DVC Poly ......plan to do that in 2017
got to Shanghai Disney
Maybe see the castle suite.....better stay in it....for free

can't really think of anything else

 

[PSUGuy]

Do the tequila flight in Mexico at Epcot. That was on our list the last three trips and we didn't do it yet.

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.

[butterfly71076]

My list is pretty short:

2. The last MNSSHP and the first MVMCP in the same trip
3. 4 parks, one day (which DS and I are going to attempt this June!)
4. Take a "double dip" cruise (Castaway Cay twice in the same trip)

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.

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.
