Absolute favorite thing to do at WDW?

Illuminations with a special someone.

We have several favorites. One of the best is a late evening stroll around Crescent Lake with a stop at Beaches and Cream for a treat which we will enjoy while sitting by the beach looking across the lake at the lights of Boardwalk.

Honestly, I just love being there. Plop me down in any park and I'm happy. I love just sitting, relaxing, and enjoy people watching. I love to sit and look at the scenery and details and listen to the background music. If you put a Mickey premium bar in my hand as I enjoy my view then I would be ecstatic!

One evening each trip I like to walk around the World Showcase, check out the shops, the food and the people. Sit and have a beer and just take it all in.

People watching on the people mover ^-^

For my family, Star Tours. We rode over and over again (8 times) over the course of two days. Never really gets old being plopped down into a Star Wars reality.

People-watch. Best free entertainment Disney has to offer.

Eating at the restaurants. Goal- to eat at every Disney restaurant eventually.
Resort pools and bars just relaxing. Goal- to stay at every Disney resort eventually.
Staring at the castle...
Staring at the big "golf ball"
Riding the monorail. Riding the resort boats.
Riding TT, EE, RNRC, BTMRR, Splash, Space Mountain ... you name it!
Just about everything in WDW.

I love to just walk around and take my time. It's no longer about getting on rides, although I still queue for certain attractions, I just enjoy walking and eating.

Watching my kid's faces light up at something each time we go to Disney. Whether it is a character to the expression from riding something new, it is always priceless!!!

What is your absolute most favorite thing to do while at Disney? Be it a certain ride, show, restaurant, fireworks, bar, parade whatever!

Riding the 'rails.

If for some reason I was in the Orlando area, but didn't have time to go into the parks, I'd at least want to park at the TTC and take a few rides.

As others have mentioned, there's something special about being there that's so joyful. The competitive part of me feels like I've gotta ride as many rides as possible. But honestly, I've found that the days when I do a bunch of rides and the days when I do very few make me equally happy.

On our last trip, I think clapping like a fool and giggling while watching the Festival of Fantasy Parade was one of my personal favorites. That and delight of riding 7DMT for the first time.

We've only done WDW and in the future, I really hope to be able to visit another park outside of the US. I can imagine that kind of "first time wonder" being a wonderful experience.

Entering each park, standing in line, waiting to enter knowing I'm going to have a great day. One day at Disney is always better than any day at work.

Getting to spend time with my wife.
I also love the small details you see and people watching

 

[scoobygirl39541]

I'm also gonna add the sights, sounds, and smells of Main Street USA. Whether it be during the fall holiday, winter holiday or just regular season, there is nothing like it anywhere else in my option.

My absolute favorite thing to do is to walk around the Epcot World Showcase after Illuminations. Its so peaceful, quiet and a perfect way to end the day with a bottle of Diet Coke in one hand, and a snow cone from the Japan Pavilion in the other.

Wandering around WS as it gets dark, and that moment when the torches light up.

Pretty much this! Just walking through the gate sets things off nicely. Especially if you know you've got a whole vacation ahead of you. The sights, smells, sounds. Just so much to take in and enjoy.

My absolute favorite thing has changed over the years. It used to be rides, or shows, or certain restaurants, but now, after many years of visits, my absolute favorite thing to do at WDW is getting up early, enjoying a walk around the resort, then enjoying that first plunge into the pool early while it is still quiet. More specifically, Hidden Springs pool at the Villas at the Wilderness Lodge, my favorite place I think I have ever been. I'm sort of a contrarian, so while everyone else is headed to the Magic Kingdom on a Monday morning, I'm already at the quiet pool.

We are on the exact same wavelength.
