Just to add....

From what we did last time...

I absolutely must eat at the Sci-Fi Dine In at MGM.. LOVE IT!!

My husband can't stop talking about going back and getting the odd drinks at the Coke igloo in Epcot.

The kids of course have to do TOT and RNR.. but not me... I went on both last time and (OK I'm a baby) I cried when I got strapped into TOT and realized I couldn't get out.... Then I was so scared I didn't know the drop was coming. My daughter went on it one time where she sat next to a very heavy man and when they closed the bar it wasn't touching her leg... she says she hovered off her seat with each drop so far that her rear didn't touch the seat.

I like the rainforest cafe so we will go back there....

Well I'm so excited that everything sounds great!!

I think it's fun to find a spot for a picture and keep going there every visit for a new picture. Every year we get a character sketch done and pick different characters with our names and the date of our wedding anniversary. They come in really nice frames and look great on a wall all together!

First ride of every trip in MK is TTA. Last ride of every trip is TTA. Best picture we have of the castle is from TTA. New tradition started with this December trip. Walking past Italy in Epcot was a booth selling Chocolate Mousse, Tiramisu and some other delights. We had never seen this booth before. (Maybe it was crowded, maybe we just were'nt looking, who knows.) We have declared that we will be stopping for Choc. Mousse and Tiramisu at least once a trip from now on.

In the Magic Kingdom I can't leave before I ride all the mountains and get something from the bakery on Main Street.

In Epcot I can't go without seeing Illuminations!:D

Just two of the things I can't do without when I visit.

To Melora; a Beaver Tail is a very flat deep fried pastry, thus the name Beaver Tail, covered in toppings such as Cinammon and Sugar, Jam, Powdered Sugar. They were invented and originally sold in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada from a log shack. The best Beaver Tail is in the middle of February as your skating on the Rideau Canal (in Ottawa) eating a Beaver Tail and drinking Hot Chocolate to get warm, it's heaven. But having one at Epcot in the warm sunshine is close.

We always go to MK on our first full day, the musts are having coffee cake from the Main Street bakery,ride PoC first, and do Tiki room second. Have to ride Splash and Big Thunder and can't leave without Dole Whip's, maybe two. MK is also the last park we do before heading home, so more of the same.

AK, must ride Kali as many times as possible, especially on a very hot day, keeps you wet and cool for the duration.

MGM, Muppets and animation studio

Epcot, Test Track at least twice, eat at the Land, Fiesta Marguaritas from Mexico

My sister collects the Popcorn buckets from each park and pressed pennies. I collect Christmas ornaments for the tree

A shopping trip or two to Downtown Disney

Adventurer's Club at PI

i absolutly have to ride spaceship earth the moment we go into epcot. I also have a new thing that started this past trip in 2002. We MUST go to the Sleepy Hollow ??? "resturaunt/eatery" and get the Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich. Its PERFECT. Its the one thats in Liberty Square next to the Hall of Presidents.
Its two huge warm cookies with ice cream in between. It is to die for. Pecos Bill's is also a place where we need to go from now on. The burgers are awesome too. There are a few things that are a must. We also have to go to the Adventurer's Club every time we to go WDW. I also love the WedWay People Mover (Tomorrowland Transit Authrity). Im sure ill think of more things!
