We all have that special thing you just have to do every visit. Is it your favorite ride? Picture spot? A restaurant?

Very hard to pick just one.

It's been a tradition for years for me to get a funnel cake at Sleepy Hollow. I always end up with powdered sugar all over me too. I just can't leave Disney if I don't get one.

That's mine. What's yours?
 
Very hard, I only have 3 must do's: FOLTK, Fantasmic! and Monsters Laugh Floor

If I had to pick one it would be FOLTK
 
Illuminations with a cold drink in my hand. It never gets old. Always my last night itinerary. Builds the flame to come back again soon!
 
Rope drop! I never miss that precious first hour or so when the day is new and the park crowds are at their lowest. We may not be able to do this everyday, but I absolutely do it every chance I get
 

We typically arrive around lunch time for our first day in the park so we have lunch at Pecos Bills and then the first ride is POTC. It all started when I went down with my DF's family a few years back and every trip since I've kept it going (even when I went without DF & his family). It just feels like we're starting off on the right foot for some reason!
 
Day we arrive is MK where I get a Mickey ice cream sandwich and then ride Peoplemover. On HS day, I must meet Chewie and get a hug. Best hugs ever! Then go trade with a Jawa - Utidie (sp)!
 
The Electric Parade!!!
I will plan around seeing it, ALWAYS and sometimes twice.

Now it's leaving and I'm Ok with that, because I know it'll be enjoyed by everyone at Disneyland! And if I'm still alive when it returns to WDW, I'll see it and start crying (again) as soon as the music starts:)
 
I MUST see Wishes, and eat at Ohana and Le Cellier during the trip. Can't wait to stay at the Poly this trip and order Ohana room service too!
 
DH and DS have Mickey ice cream bars and I have a dole whip float while we wait in Frontierland for the Festival of Fantasy parade.
 
...Haunted Mansion (almost always our first ride every trip)
...every trip must include a Mickey bar and a pretzel somewhere along the way

So many times we have gone with other people that want to wait until 11 before going into the parks. Getting to MK for the opening ceremony is not only special but getting to walk right onto attraction for an hour makes it so you can do so much more in a day. Beating the heat is a big plus too!
 
Get a picture (selfie) with me and DS at the Walt Disney & Mickey statue. My absolute favorite picture is of him giving me a kiss on the cheek right in front of it :love2:
 
COP, people mover, MSEP... i'm not even remotely excite about MSEP moving even tho i'm a DL local. magic kingdom has a superior set up for parades.
