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

Fantasmic

Usually I'd say PotC or Splash, but this year Pirates will be down while we're there and I'm pregnant (so no Splash for me). Luckily I'll be able to live vicariously through DD who's planning on riding for the first time! Our 'can't miss' show is IllumiNations.

There are so many rides and other things that we'd be sad to miss (Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, ToT, the safari, World Showcase,...). We'd never be able to do just a day or two trip to WDW. I think if we DID have just one day at the parks, no matter what rides we went on or shows we saw, we'd probably make a point to get a family picture in front of the castle.

MSEP is definitely at the top of my list. lots of other amazing parts of a trip, but it's not complete without the thousands of sparkling lights and electro-synthe-magnetic sounds.

Definitely wishes

Tomorrowland Transit Authority at night. It's magical looking at the park from that ride.

CoP or It's a Small World.... it's almost like you can feel Walt!

It's a Small World! No trip would be complete without it.

Besides riding all the E-Rides (especially Big Thunder), it has to be Peter Pan for me. The lines are soooo ridiculous but it holds sentimental value for me (and apparently for a lot of other people, too! )

Kilimanjaro Safari

Buffets...Crystal Palace, Boma, or O'hana ( What can I say, eating is my favorite part of vacation )

Hanging out in the World Showcase and Typhoon lagoon wave pool!

Love all the replies! I'd also have to add (in addition to the MSEP, CTM and Wishes experience) is Peter Pan's Flight. In fact it's the first thing we do on the first morning of the first day. Rope drop - straight to PPF. And as the ride starts and we hear Peter say "Here We Go" one of us will make the silly announcement "and NOW we're at Disney World".

As a family it would be the whole BBB & Breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table for our Daughter.

Personally my must do attraction is Splash Mountain & for dinner it is Raglan Road. Raglan Road because the wife & children shop while I sit at the hole in the wall bar watching the world go by.

It may seem odd, but Country Bear Jamboree for me. Something about Frontierland, and Adventureland for that matter, that just scream Disney to me. That attraction in particular.

Get into Epcot and ride Spaceship Earth first thing!

 

[kaetra]

Wishes. That's where I realized for the first time that Magic is Real.

Crying when I walk down Main Street the first time on the trip.

I do it every time.

 

[Fantabulously Cherry]

There are too many to mention because I love it all. But I'll break it down by park

MK - Haunted Mansion
AK - Safari
Epcot - Soarin'
HS - Fantasmic!

Oh and for food, I must have a burger from Beaches n' Cream and a hot dog from Casey's Corner.
