I could certainly do 10 per park, so I'm limiting this to the Magic Kingdom:

1. Kneel at the Cinderella fountain and watch the crown descend upon her head. :animwink:

2. Eat a Dole Whip :slurp:

3. get a family photo on Main Street with Cinderella's Castle in the background from the friendly Disney photographer

4. Hassle an ODF castmember (alumni privilege!)

5. Grab a popcorn on Main Street and wait for the parade. (Okay, or Frontierland)

6. Shop for coffee mugs and tee shirts at the Emporium

7. Strain myself trying to pull the sword from the stone at the Carousel.

8. Listen to the steel drums in Adventureland

9. Spot a dad taking a photo of the rest of his family and offer to take the photo so he can join them.

10. Find any of the following characters and have a photo made with them: Robin Hood, Captain Hook, Snow White, and/or the White Rabbit!

and one for old time's sake:

Get a strawberry waffle cone from Gurgi''s, grab a bench by 20K and watch the submarines.

10) On my first trip to the Magic Kingdom on a vacation, not actually looking at the Castle once I enter the park until I am at the start of Main Street. Then look up and... WOW! It's always a goosebump-inducing experience!

9) Call friends at home from my cell phone to gloat

8) People watch. I especially like looking at people's Disney shirts and occasionally asking them if it's one that's on sale at WDW (The really cool ones are always homemade )

7) If it's hot out get an ice cream cookie sandwich, if it's cold out (Yes, sometimes it DOES get cold in Orlando ) get some hot Moroccan Mint Tea

6) Eat some pastries from the pastry shop in France

5) Try to think of unique and creative poses for the pictures on Splash, ToT, Rockin, Test Track and Dinosaur

4) Waiting to get my picture taken with characters while grumbling with my wife about the kids cutting us in line for the 50th time

3) Pick out a new sketch (or two) at MGM from Dawn Marie (I heard she isn't there anymore... I'll have to find a new artist )

2) Take pictures throughout the park of my Stitch plushie in interesting locations

1) Shop shop and umm SHOP!

I'm limiting mine to just the MK since it's my favorite park. In no particular order...

1. Take a listen on the gossip phone...
2. Eat at Cinderella's Royal Table our first night...
3. Watch Spectro at my favorite spot right at the curb in front of the castle...
4. Sing along to Wishes and tear up everytime I see it...
5. Take the same picture every year in front of the Partners statue...
6. Grab a cookie for breakfast from the bakery and sit on the stoop waiting for the performance of Right Down the Middle of Main Street USA...
7. Wait around for the Kiss Goodnight...
8. Take a train ride around the MK...
9. Buy at least one picture frame from the Emporium...
10. Sit in front of the castle and try and soak in the fact that I'm actually here....

[Yenfid]

The idea of this tread was what 10 things do you at WDW that ISN'T an Attraction! It looks like some people didn't read the first post!

 

[EmeraldDolphin]

1) My eyes well up when I walk up Main Street, USA on the first day

10) My eyes well up as I exit Main Street, USA on the last day

... & I thought I was the only one!!

1~ I get all teary eyed & choked up walking on to Main Street, USA --day 1
2~ people watch
3~ eat lunch at the Sci-Fi dinner theater
4~ eat a Dole Whip
5~ walk around World Showcase
6~ see The Festival of The Lion King
7~ shop at the Emporium

10~ I get all teary eyed & choked up when I have to exit Main Street, USA --last day

 

[nickcarraway]

1. Drink around the world. Must-haves: multi-flavored margarita in Mexico and a glass of champange in France. People, this is the only way to see Epcot.

2. Treat children who come in costume (like the little girls dressed as princesses) like they're characters in the park. Ask for their autograph. Get a picture. They either love the attention or scream in terror.

3. Do funny (non-obscene) gestures during photos on attractions. I think I've run out of postures, actually. Some highlights: I've prayed on RnR, did the monkey see/hear/do pose with friends on ToT, and -- my personal fave -- read a copy of Amusement Business magazine on Splash.

4. Fill a water bottle full of vodka and use the soda from Ice Station Cool as chasers.

5. Eat at The Land and every time the server comes around, act like I'm going to have a protein spill. Depending how hungry I am, this one gets sorta old sorta quick.

6. Act like it's my birthday and receive special treatment or, better yet, go with a female friend and buy those groom/bride Mickey/Minnie ears and act like we're on our honeymoon. You get treated waay better than if it's your "birthday."

7. Complement cast members on their costumes. The uglier the costume, the more gushing the complement. I particularly like doing this to the M:S cast members. They seem to really hate their jumpsuits.

8. Eat a Dole Whip and then promptly complain the Dole Whips aren't what they used to be!

9. Photo shoot! Try on everything possible in a shop then strut my stuff for my photographer. Kissy faces. Sexy poses. You name it. My best shots usually come from the Pirates shop.

10. Watch the way in which families interact with each other, be it arguing their heads off or genuinely having a magical experience. It's all entertaining to me!
