You all have some great traditions! Ours are all much more general, I'm afraid. We definitely always have must dos, but in no particular order.

My wife and I get to the parks as fast as humanly possible, urging the bus to take us to Epcot (which is 95% our first park).

Ice Station Cool (now Club Cool) it a must- with sugar-laced drinks to energize us.

I normally hit Mexico because the smell of the water normally lets me know that I'm "home". Why does all Disney water for the rides have that scent, and can they bottle that for a perfume?

At least once or twice during each trip a Dole Whip and Turkey Leg must be devoured.

The Land ride must be seen a dozen times.

I will cry about leaving. That is an unfortunate tradition...

You're right about the water smell. There are times when my wife and I go places and they have running water inside and one of us will comment "boy, smells like disney!"

Anyway, my wife and I usually head to the Magic Kingdom and then head over to Pecos Bill's joint to have one of them giant hamburgers with all the fixins. That usually is how we start things off! Our last two trips we went to epcot on the same day (Sept. 24th). The first time is when i proposed to her and the second was for some drinks at the same spot. Im sure we will do that again this upcoming sept.

Go to the MK and see the shows. They include:
*Main Street Trolley (if I'm there early enough)
*Cinderellabration
*Frontierland Hoedown (a MUST do- I even have my own dancing partner now!:lol: )
*Sword in the Stone show

When I see these shows, I know that I'm back!:sohappy:

We always arrive mid-afternoon, so we head over to Epcot to ride "Maelstrom" then have our first dinner at the Coral Reef restaurant. It makes me giddy just to think about doing that again soon (24 days!)

When playing we always make sure to stop at the Wilderness Lodge for Lunch at the Whispering Canyon Cafe. The "Skillet" is only $14 and all you can eat ribs that fall off the bone have become my downfall! The chicken and other stuff included in the skillet aint bad either.

Then a nice relaxing boat ride back over to the Magic Kingdom. Sometimes we ride the boat around twice before we actually get off at the MK, especially if the weather is nice!

There are so many things my family does each time, it is hard to put them all here.

We always check out our family brick that is located right in front of the train station before you enter the park. We see it every year, and I can't tell you how many pictures we have of the same brick.

Also, we have to eat a Mickey Ears ice cream! They are my favorite. Plus, my family always does our traditional drink and eat around the countries afternoon....loads of fun!
