Comprehensive 'To do' List

[gembob]

Hi guys. I know this has been covered lots of times before but I am trying to put together a list of extra little things I have never done at WDW before and will do this time around.

The problem being is that normally people reply to the thread in their own post and it can be hard to scroll through and duplicates are often post.

So here is my idea: we make a list then the next person with a suggestion copies and pastes the list into their thread and then adds to it.

This will hopefully help other people too.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and I will start the list:

1. Check out the key under the mat, the wishing well and the 'Singing in the rain' umbrella at DHS
2. Check out the Maze in the UK pavillion

Whoa!! Awesome list...thanks. I'm going to print it to use on our next trip!

 

[gembob]

Yeah thanks ever so much, think I will have to print this off!!

If anyone else still has anything to add to both lists it would still be very much appreciated!

Master Yoda I have another Question for you, do you happen to know who I should call and the phone # of where I may be able to find the times guide and/or show schedule for the Electric Water Pageant?
Thanks as always!:wave:

Master Yoda -

I wanted to Thank you agian for this list!!
I in fact printed it out for my kids (from a previous post) for out last trip, I gave it to them on the plane on the trip down, and I have to say it was a HUGE hit both of them (boy 8 and daughter 12). They would review it before going into the parks, and then spend the time in between rides, searching out all the neat little goodies listed!

Thanks!

You are very welcome. I can not however take all the credit. I was not the original author of the mega list I merely cut and pasted it and have made updates to it from time to time when others have pointed out errors or new secrets have come to light.

This was a great thread! Master Yoda thanks for posting the list. I am also printing it out for our trip in June. We could all use a little something new to do!

Well your updates to the list and the fact that you have it at your disposable when it's needed is what's important, like my dad always told me:
You don't always have to have all the answers yourself, you just need to know where to find em!

Thanks Again!

I just got back from my trip and after spending some time in DTD I have to edit the HUGE "To Do List". My friend and I were at the Art of Disney and inquired about the Quiz. The CM informed us that they are no longer doing the Quiz unfortunatley and she was not sure as to why they discontinued it. Sorry everyone! Just one more thing to be added to the growing list of things that have bit the dust.

22. Tinkerbell’s Treasures: Try to find Tinkerbell flitting around the store. Also you can peer through the key hole in the dresser and find her locked inside.

Someone recently told me the dresser has been taken away? However, i was told if you ring the bell at the cash register and look around the store, you will see her fluttering around.

It has been significantly modified. At one time the light in her drawer would come on for a few seconds and you could see her pouting inside. Now there is just a bright, almost strobe like flash. I think she might still be in there but it is almost impossible to tell. I keep meaning to bring a mini flashlight and confirm this one way or another but I always forget to bring one with me.
