What's your one "can't miss" of a WDW trip?

[Harlon]

It can be a ride, attraction, dining experience or a family tradition of some sort, etc. For me it's the entire Electric parade/ Celebrate the Magic/ Wishes experience. Every vacation (at least one night) we line up really early and stake out a place directly in front of the castle, watch the parade (with castle as backdrop) then watch CTM and Wishes. I love it. When Walt says "It was all started by a mouse" and Tink flies out of the castle I still get a little teary eyed.

What's your can't miss moment???

Hand's down, it's Illuminations for me. I watch it multiple times on every trip. It's my favorite nighttime show at WDW.

Pre RD ADR at Crystal Palace. Li love the feeling of walking up a relatively quiet MS, and Crystal Palace is do pretty in the morning. Love it!

I have to ride Peter Pan's Flight. It was the first ride we took our daughter's on and I still remember the look on my oldest girl's face when we saw Neverland. Priceless!

Mickey's Philharmagic. Can't leave MK without it!

This is a tough one: narrowing it down to just one,
I would say the Safari at AK.

Mothers Day Brunch at Boma, after EMH at AK-so quiet and lovely! Last year I found myself alone in Asia and thought I was in a restricted area of the park!

2nd place would have to be riding Splash Mtn as late as I can before it shuts down. I love coming out at the top and going around the bend and seeing Cinderella's Castle in the distance.

Honourable mention to getting back to your resort at 1am and going for a swim in the quiet pool. Last trip I stayed at LM and they lock all the pools at AoA so I never had a chance to do this. Loved AoA though!

Splash Mountain! We love it any time of day, but at night it's really WDW at it's best - so fun & magical! I have two kids in college & one in high school. It is by far my favorite ride with our kids over the years.

 

[RenaissanceBabe]

Another vote for Splash, especially at night. Brings back memories of years ago doing it many times in a row with my Mother and sister during EMH, back when it was something you paid for.

Now that I'm an adult oddly enough Winnie the Pooh is our must do first ride. It was my fiancé's first disney ride ever. He caught the disney Magic right there.

First night arrival dinner at Flying Fish. That's our family tradition to kick off our celebration "WE ARE AT WDW!!!!!"

 

[SJSloan]

One word... WISHES!...I can't leave without seeing it!

 

[kayemgi]

Can I say Magic Kingdom? Haha, if I had to choose one attraction/event, I guess it would be Jungle Cruise. That's how we almost always start MK days, and it wouldn't feel like a trip to WDW without it!

 

[kiltclan]

It's a little personal for me, but the MK welcome show would have to be the one thing I hate missing. When I did the CP program, I was one of the ticket takers (an old-fashioned phrase at WDW now lol), my first day of training, our trainer insisted we watch the welcome show from the center and it was a little bit of magic that sparked my time there.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I would say that our one must do is always the People Mover. DH loves it.

 

[automaticsoap]

Spaceship Earth & walking around World Showcase.

 

[PSUGuy]

All of the E-Ticket rides are a given but our Must Dos aside from those are Illuminations, a drink on the porch at the Belle Vue Lounge, a ride on the People Mover which I always tape and a pig out at Cape May.

Used to be El Rio del Tiempo but now it id Spaceship Earth. It also isn't a great trip without going to AKL. The lobby is enough but Boma makes it extra special.

 

[AllieBoo]

Definitely riding Peter Pan. It holds a lot of sentimental value for me, because it was my favorite ride as a child.

 

[PoohsFan1]

A pre park opening ADR to Akershus on our first full day. We have a lot of must do things that we like to do, but sometimes we just can't fit some of them in, however our Akershus breakfast has always been consistent. We have been doing this since my kids were 4 and 6 and they are now 11 and 13....it wouldn't be a Disney vacation without our first breakfast in Epcot visiting the princesses and having some of the awesome cheesy potato casserole .

A ride on CoP and eating Fish & Chips from Yorkshire County Fish Shop in Epcot
