-Always hit RNRC and then Tower first thing at MGM while Mom does the FastPass Rush for TSM.
-I wouldn't say it's a tradition, but I always get picked as an extra in the Indiana Jones show when we go see it, which isn't every trip (been picked I think 7 times now - even got to do the special death scene once hehe)
-Always do the Soarin FP rush at rope drop then ride Living With The Land first ride of the day.
-We always get a Christmas bulb with the year of our trip on it from the Christmas store at MK
-Always watch Wishes, Illuminations and Fantasmic at least once a trip (usually twice)
-LOTS of Photopass pics!!

We have several food traditions as well:
-My sister and I always get an ice cream at Hollywood Scoops before leaving MGM
-Red velvet cheesecake cupcake at Starring Rolls must make an appearance at least once a trip, usually twice
-Ice Cream from the Plaza while waiting for MSEP
-Churros and a margarita while waiting for Illuminations
-Paw Print brown from Kusifari in AK with an iced mocha for breakfast on AK day

Oh I thought of another one! We always have breakfast from Main Street Bakery one morning, usually the last day of the trip. We get cinnamon rolls, croissants, and fruit then just chill out at one of the tables outside of Casey's. We watch the people and often can catch the Main Street singers do their trolley show. That is always a very chill morning, and I like taking things slow then. Who knows... this may change when MSB reopens as a Starbucks

Does crying tears of joy every time I get that first glimpse of the castle from Main Street USA count as a tradition?

Other than trying to contain my tears, riding the Jungle Cruise at night is a must.

Our tradition is having a good time!

Well, we usually try to Epcot first and Magic Kingdom second. Also, we usually try to eat in a "major" restaurant at Epcot's World Showcase. Oh, and can traditions include meeting certain characters?

 

[Pooh Lover]

First dinner is always Ohana. I never realized until right now that we do every park counter clockwise, without fail. Always hit SSE on the way in and out of EPCOT. Always buy WL resort merchandise (if its changed from prior year.)

 

[Susan Savia]

Epcot - first day and last day (and in between)
Spaceship Earth - first ride and last ride of trip
Test Track - always second ride on first day.
Eat one cookie and one stuffed pretzel.
Always (everyday!) be at rope drop no matter what park were going to.

MK-PotC followed immediately by HM, BLSRS as many time as it takes for me to win
Epcot-SSE, Fish n chips and a shandy midday
DHS-Cheese danish from Starring Rolls, ToT and RRC as many times as we can before the waits get too long, High Octane Refreshments and people watching for a midday break
DAK- the 3 of us always share a pizza at pizzafari before leaving the park for the day- even though we don't really like the pizza- we love the room with the bats- its a nice way to cool down and talk about the day.
DTD on our last day to spend what's left of our money- followed by lunch at Earl of Sandwich before heading home

 

[jmenjes]

First and last day at the parks is at the Magic Kingdom.
Last ride on last day is the TTC.

Try not to have an emotional breakdown as I leave the MK on the last day.
