Some may think Mine's a wase of money, but it's traditional to buy EVERY ride-op photo we are in(one per ride per vacation). We have over 40 now, some framed and some scrapbooked.

We have quite a few. Here's a short list:
First ride of the vacation - Haunted Mansion.
Dinner one night at California Grill.
Rice Krispie treats on Main Street.
Spend one afternoon shopping our way around the MK(no rides, just shops).
Cinn. Buns for breakfast at Main Street Bake Shop at least once.
Last ride of vacation - Haunted Mansion(when possible).

Lets see I have several...
1.) The Haunted Mansion is always the first ride of the day at the MK.
2.) Star Tours is the first thing I ride at MGM
3.) I always ride the Monorail to EPCOT
4.) My favorite parade spots are in MK: in Frontieerland right across from Pecos Bills and at MGM in front of the Fountain near the info board.
5.) We usually ride the TOT and RNRC a couple of times before we scope our seats for Fantasmic.
That's all I can think of now...but I am sure I will remember more as the day goes on.

I always have to get my silhouette done in Downtown Disney, then I frame them when I get home, and I have a line of them in my room hanging up.

Let's see...
Doesn't matter in what order, but we must ride all forms of Disney Transportation available - Both Monorail tracks, plus to Epcot, the train, the boats, as well as the peoplemover.
Plus, we make a point of going on ToT right as MGM is closing. That ride is the best in the dark!
Send as many e-cards back to myself and family as possible - just to rub it in that I'm in WDW... and they're not

First thing i do when we get there (after checking in) is go to Magic Kingdom, ride the railroad round to ToonTown and ride Goofy's BarnStormer. I strange one i know!
Feel the Breeze
We always spend the first night at the UK Pavilion. We dress in kilts, and get drunk on whatever is handy. Just before Illuminations, we tear each other's kilts off down to our altogether (we wear kilts authentically), and then start running around World Showcase yelling, "The Irish are coming! The Irish are coming!" We then spend the night at the Orlando jail, getting to know the locals.
No, wait, that's what I hear Michael Eisner does. Never mind.

We simply MUST start our day at the Magic Kingdom with a huge chocolate-covered rice krispy treat and a beverage and eat it on the top level of the train station facing the castle as we watch everyone entering for the day! :slurp:
We kind of laugh at how happy they look at that moment...before the parks take their toll! :lol:
