How could I have forgotten that one? Yep, first thing in the morning, turn on Resort TV and watch it as I get ready to leave the hotel (which takes all of 10 mins). I also switch over to the Orlando channel for a bit.

There are so many, I probably can't think of them all, but here goes:

- Take a walk around the CBR @ night
- Visit the Poly plus eat @ Capt. Cook's
- Ride ToT first when @ MGM
- Get a takeout pizza from Spoodle's and visit the Boardwalk
- Have to shop @ the Marketplace on the last day
- Spend a full day @ MK and ride the WDWRR
- Eat a Mickey waffle
- Collect the lastest park brochures
- During Christmas/New Year's visits, we always visit the GF and spend New Year's Eve @ MK

....there are so many more...oh oh..DISNEY RESORT TV...

Two of my favorites. When I was a kid we always went from the Ploynesian where stayed for a night of games at the Contemporary. My favorite was always air hockey. One of my sisters was way into pinball.

Do they still have the huge Disney Character mural on the wall?

And Resort TV as a kid was on in the hotel all the time. My favorite was when they showed River Country.

Here are my traditions:
1. ride the carousel and have our picture taken on it
2. get a Mickey Premium bar
3. have a chicken strip basket at the Columbia Harbour House
4. Ride the monorail
5. stare at the castle and dream that it is my home

Since we try to do everything there is to do, it would be hard to pick a Tradition. One does stick out of the ordinary however, dinner at Akershus. We have only gone to WDW once without eating at Akurshus, (before they built Norway) it is so unlike any other restaurant anywhere, that we have to go every time.

I just mentioned Akershus as a dinner recommendation on another post. Best buffet on the property.

Excellent!

I should rephrase that. It is the best buffet that I have had on the property. I have not eaten everywhere so my answer may have been untrue.

ohh! there's another one for me too...when we get ready we always tune into the Resort TV channel and start watching and going "oh we're gonna ride that today!" and stuff like that

I always have to take tons if pictures of the castle! No clue why, but I do :lol:

I to take lots of pictures. While not of just the castle I ended up with 886 from last weeks trip to WDW. I compile them into a movie when I get back which is great to have down the road. I already finished last weeks trip video. I would post it but I used some video from the WDW promo video to enhance the outcome and its probably not the best idea to post something like that on a public board. I am sure copy write laws may come into effect or something like that.

I also like to go to Fulton's Crab house the first night we get there. Great way to calm down after flying 5 and a half hours from Washington State.

I really like Fulton's Crab House too, but why did they change the exterior. I saw a photo and the Empress Lilly does not even look like a riverboat anymore.

Our family goes every year on my Spring Break, so I guess our whole trip to WDW is a tradition itself. My other ones are:

1) First night we always go to DTD to hit the World of Disney.

5) I always have to visit the Art of Disney store in Epcot.
.

Ummm... Why don't you kill two birds with one stone? There is an Art of Disney Store at DTD, nestled between the Rainforest Cafe and The Wonderful World of Memories, behind the Christmas Shop. Don't get me wrong, I go into every AOD store I can find, but to not even mention the one at DTD.... Grrrrrr.....

(Sorry, I did my CP as Custodian at DTD, I'm protective of my little corner of the world :animwink: )
