Attraction Pleasant Surprises

Couldn't agree more I'm a huge theme park fan in general, love rides etc but my best days in Disney were days when we probably did the least amount of rides and just soaked it in. Not that a few more ride options would go a miss here and there!

I love how the ambience transforms at Sunset, and certain rides become an altogether different experience. tower of. Terror in the dark....just wow.

It really is amazing and I agree with you on how amazing it is to just wonder and soak in the amazing work they've put into making it all work :)

While this might not count, the first time I did Philharmagic (2007), I was blown away. I had no idea what it was going in, and I just loved every second of it. It definitely had that Disney "magic" IMO. That was the first time I had been to WDW after Philharmagic opened, so I had never skipped it before, but I wasn't hyped about doing it (like with some of the bigger attractions you get excited about before your vacation).

Agreed!

Another vote for DTD/Disney Springs. Yes, we would always go and shop at WOD and grab a sammich at Earl of Sandwich, maybe visit the Christmas store, but then we would leave. Last month we were in Orlando, but not doing Disney. Decided to get our fix by going to DTD and spent hours there exploring everything. Walked around the whole thing just enjoying ourselves.

It is now something we will be building into our vacation every trip.

This was a few years ago as well, but we did Living with the Land for the first time along with the Behind the Seeds tour and we had a blast! We had reached that sweet spot in number of WDW visits where we didn't feel pressured to try to hit all the big attractions and spent most of our time soaking in the scenery and doing attractions we hadn't done before. That was a great trip.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
Flights of Wonders and Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Club are the big ones on my list.

Some honorable mentions would be SUM of All Thrills and StormStruck in Innoventions!

American Experience in Epcot WS...I personally was very moved by it. Skipped it for five trips and now regret every one. 'Murica!!!!

Flights of Wonder for me as well.

It's so easy to skip a little show that isn't one of the obvious headliners, but it really is the hidden gem of AK.

For our first few trips we just kept walking past Carousel of Progress. (Well, I did stop once to take a picture of the sign in front.)

Then we decided to give it a shot...to check it off of our list of things we've never done. Now it's a must-do on every trip. Not sure why we like it...we just do.

My favorite memory form our last trip was walking through Fantasyland at sunset. the lights, the music...it's like a whole different park at night.

Looking forward to AK in the dark. I will be visiting in summer though, so unless it's open past 9pm I may not experience it :(
