Never Knew About This ?

[real mad hatter]

Good Morning All,Just been watching the video of " The goodnight kiss " which I never knew about at MK. Anyway,it got me thinking.Is there something you never knew existed in any of the parks that is on your must do list for your next visit. Even tho this year was our fifth visit,we still came across things weve never seen or done before. What is on your must do list for your next vacation? Something you've never seen or done before.

The Electric Water Pageant. Saw it for a few seconds outside Magic Kingdom as we were boarding a bus back to our resort and didn't know what it was but will definitely go to watch it on my next visit just so I can say that I have

I planned a trip for my friend and found a ton of cool stuff I never knew about. The parasol parade in the mornings at GF (my mom calls it the maid parade). Every morning they pick a guest staying at gf (usually a small girl) who leads the parade and she gets to keep the parasol.
The fire dance at the Poly. Im a huge fan of piano bob (or anything free in the world) and just learned there is a jazz style performer at POFQ so next time I'm going to look for him.

A couple of things at the water parks:

• Shark's Reef - Yes, we knew it was there but never realized it was free until we decided on one trip to head over to see how much it cost.
• Sand pail - A huge bucket of ice cream at both water parks. Enough to feed the entire family!

At Epcot, we were blown away the first time we saw the double decker bus pull up, loaded with Disney characters.

The jazz performer at FQ is really good,and Iam not a huge jazz fan but enjoyed his show.

Sadly this is no longer done. I agree that it was awesome though and we miss it and wish our daughter would have been able to experience it.

On our next trip, we'll be having a Dole Whip or Citrus Swirl for the first time (never knew about them before, and my childhood trips were on a tight budget that didn't allow for buying food in the parks anyway), and watching the afternoon parade in the Magic Kingdom for the first time. We've never watched the parade before, only because all prior trips were over Easter vacation during peak crowds, so we preferred to take advantage of the momentary lull in the lines to hit some of the more popular attractions during the parade. This time, with the kids in tow, we're finally gonna stop, smell the roses and watch the floats go by!

I had a friend who was a genius on the bass guitar,but on one night I was playing " La Bamba " and his solo went all to pot,not one note was right,he walked up to the mic and said " Well folks,that's jazz for you " The place erupted in laughter.

2 what I consider HUGE things that puts a mouse nut like me to shame because I have not done them yet.
1. FANTASMIC - haven't done it because we never plan to do it or feel like we have enough time, but I always hear how amazing it is so it's the #1 thing on my Disney to do list.
2. Enjoy a DOLE WHIP I am a huge Pineapple fan and I haven't ever wanted to wait in line for one of them. I will one day soon though. I am aching to try one!

They're still doing that? Was I misinformed that they had stopped giving those out?

I never realized you could ride the trolley down main street. I thought you were either picked or had to pay to ride. That's something I really want to do next trip.

Somebody told me about a carved bear under the Tree of Life, right before you enter the TTBAB attraction. Gonna look for it this time. They say it's a little chilling they way he's hidden.

I've been to Disney four times now. I hear there are other parks besides the Magic Kingdom. I hear there's a park called "Apricot" that has a giant golf ball, a place where they show you Hollywood movies, and a zoo! Perhaps I'll visit one or two of those for a few hours on my next trip!

We always stop in to watch his performance. Anyone interested in a sample can visit elliotdyson.com or there are videos posted on youtube.

Just ask the pilot of any water craft or bus driver or monorail pilot and they will hand you a card to start your collection. But I've had various times they ran out of cards or might not be carrying cards with them.

Because of EMH I have never been to the parks for a real rope drop - never seen the opening of mk - don't know if I should.We want this next trip to be the trip of new things - or new to my kids things - any suggestions that are very very random??

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

We've asked for the transportation cards before but only had luck getting them from the boat captains.
