We make MK our first park and we also eat lunch at San Angel Inn every trip. Except for the last trip. We wanted to try some new spots and unfortunately didn't have the time for our traditional Mexican pit stop. NEVER AGAIN will we neglect our tradition....

We had a very tough trip last November. We had other work travel around this time, weddings, and we closed on our house so we were busy and stressed and DH just couldn't relax and was too panicky and stressed the whole trip. DH is very superstitious and half joking half serious blames it all on the fact that we didn't have an ADR at Mexico!

I am old... So even though my first trip was with my parents, I was a 26 y/o adult. (1976) But I still go to all the places and rides we did together... Carrousel, Small World, Tiki birds, HM, and eating at LTT... It brings them back in a very real way, that surprisingly nothing else does... DH never went until I convinced him to go, and now I think he likes it even more than me! Our children and grandchildren hopefully will remember our trips in the same way! (Holy cow, our DGS is an adult now as well....)

We always go to Caseys for lunch as soon as we get to the MK. My wife gets the traditional hot dog. Our DD a chili cheese dog and I get the pulled pork slaw dog. 9 days till I get that again.

Well prior to an evil coffee company taking over the sacred ground that is Main Street, I would go to the MSB and buy *all* the cinnamon buns.

We always eat at Cosmic Ray's on our first MK day, Tangerine Café on our first EPCOT day and out last park was always EPCOT. Not sure about doing Illuminations last again but the first 2 for sure.

 

[SyracuseDisneyFan]

Magic Kingdom on our first full day. We eat at Crystal Palace on that day. We also visit Magic Kingdom on our last full day before heading back to Syracuse.

 

[POLY LOVER]

one I forgot somehow, we always purchase a carved animal from the Animal Kindom Lodge gift shop. We have accumulated a small zoo at this point, we date each one and it reminds us of past trips.

Had a tradition for a few years. Head to Wonders of Life, watch the Goofy short and get a picture. Then the Wonders of Life closed and there went my tradition. So sad.

 

[Rinx]

MK always on the first day with dinner at Cosmic Rays aka Cosmo's to us.

Its constantly evolving as I've been going to the world for the last 43 years and amenities and tastes change.

The last decade it's been check in to which ever resort we're staying in after the six hour drive it takes to get into the vicinity (lately its been SoG because its quiet) we head off to Downtown/Disney Springs for a bite at Raglan Road (and I always hope that Beefy Murry is on the menu) and a decent pint. We then go to the World of Disney to peruse the inventory for specific items: new embroidered jackets, jewelry (strange, but we've taken items and had the fake replaced with real and they turned out nice), and antenna toppers.

I used to head right to Epcot when I arrive. But since I've been arriving earlier, I head to the MK and have lunch at the Plaza Inn. Now that FP+ is in effect, I have rides scheduled for early afternoon in the MK. After that I check in to my hotel, then head for Epcot for rides, dinner, drinking and fireworks. CAN'T WAIT TILL SEPTEMBER!!!

 

[bethymouse]

Ride the train to Frontierland, and hit Splash Mountain and BTMRR right away on our 2nd day. Since we drive down ( 14 hours), we just "chill out" at the resort the 1st evening with just a quick service meal ( yes. we still do the DDP). Later we make a trip to one of the signature restaurants.

 

[WDW74]

Check in early at BCV, head through the International Gateway usually before WS opens, split a cronut from the Refreshment Port with DW and a Jamesons and coffee from the kiosk directly opposite then soak-in the scenery of the World Showcase Lagoon on one side and SSE on the other...

 

[disneyca]

We always have our picture taken in front of Cinderella Castle. I buy a small dated frame and display them all together at home.
