Here's my top 7; but some of these experiences are seasonal. It's really hard to list just seven.

1. Riding Splash Mountain at night, during Wishes. This is our family's absolute favorite experience at WDW. It happened to us by accident (didn't know fireworks times) on our first trip together, and now we make sure to do it on every trip.

2. Watching Wishes from Main Street, with a Casey's hot dog.

3. The Candlelight Processional at Epcot. Wow! Just Wow! It brought tears to my eyes.

4. Having Dinner at 'Ohana with a window table overlooking Seven Seas Lagoon and MK at fireworks time. (seeing a pattern here?). We were lucky enough to get a window table on Christmas night for dinner. A Magical meal!

5. Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights. Almost Indescribable Christmas experience.

6. Extra Magic hours at MK when the streets are nearly empty, rides are all "walk-on" and you feel like you almost have the park to yourselves.

7. Rock 'n Roller Coaster. I just love this ride.


1971 (age 15) MK was new!
1974 off-site (Senior Trip)
1982 off-site
1988 off-site
May 2002 AS-Sports, with DW & kids
May 2004 Pop Century
Feb 2005 Wilderness Lodge
Oct 2006 Pop Century
Oct 2008 Camped at Fort Wilderness
Feb 2010 Cruise on the Wonder
Dec 2014 POFQ for Christmas!

This year will be the 40th anniversary of our first trip...and there are so many special memories.
...Special mention goes to Horizons and Toad, which held significant memories for us, but can't be included under the ROE. Note that those two, and my listed 7, were (are) special because of the memories of sharing them with my incredible family. Were I selfish, I would also have included WDW Railway, and TSMM...No one else in the family shares my addiction to them.

So, our shared 7, since 75

  1. Pirates...almost every scene holds memories from our many trips...
  2. Haunted Mansion...ditto..
  3. Splash...not an original, but now a long time tradition
  4. CoP...Just 'cause we never skip it.
  5. Space Mountain...Still laugh when I recall when DS heard DW swear for the first time ever in front of the kids
  6. Evening Parade at MK, in any format...special evenings with special people, from DMiL, and DW, and DK's, and DGK's
  7. Monorail...again, memories from the first trip, to all of the subsequent trips...

    Not that I (we) don't love each of the other parks, but those 7 are always a first and last day Must Do...

In no particular order......

  1. Backstage Tour at MK - made me appreciate the magic even more.
  2. Tower of Terror - never the same ride twice
  3. Beach Club Pool - there is nothing like it - also going to plug Beaches & Cream here - a must do for us every trip.
  4. The People Mover!!! My fave attraction to rest, relax, recharge the batteries
  5. Expedition Everest - was so impressed with it, I had to go on a second time immediately after the first - honorable mention to Splash Mountain here.
  6. California Grill - one of the best Fine Dining restaurants on Property
  7. Grand Floridian Villas - I felt like I was in an HGTV show when I toured one of them....

    This also, will change depending on the day...... :mickey:

Hmmmm making this hard

1.) Main Street USA...The feeling you get walking down it on your first day of vacation. It is wonderful.

2. Spaceship Earth...my favorite ride at Disney. Im a history buff :blush:

3. Food and Wine festival...nothing better.

4. Biergarten...Its tradition, I eat there almost every time.

5. The Buses...nothing beats hopping on a Disney bus after a long day at the parks.

6. Splash Mountain...Loved this ride since I was so little. I can remember being afraid of falling out!

7. Being with family...I know its rounding out the list (oh well), but nothing beats being with family at Disney.


Been to Disney over 20 times...

1. Dinner at one of the many World Showcase restaurants
2. Celebrate the Magic/Wishes
3. Dole Whip
4. Illuminations
5. Pins, Pins, Pins and pressed pennies
6. Monorail just for the speech..haha
T7. End every trip at Earl of Sandwich
T7 One night at the MK seeing the kiss goodnight

Rides come and go. And we do some on one trip, some on another sicne we go so often. They arent a MUST MUST do each time. There are so many things to do and we generally now go for specific events like Food & Wine, Flower and garden, MVMVP, Halloween, etc. The Candlelight processional is a must do now yearly.

In no particular order might I say.

1. The Cast member standing at Orlando Int. waving with the big white Mickey glove & laughing to myself on the Magical Express on the way to the resort about the fact that I actually convinced everyone to go to Disney again; never easy!

2. Room side pool : I love the smell of Chlorine in the morning!

3. Searching for your family’s picture at the end of each ride seeing if it is Goofy enough to buy or not.

4. Turkey leg in one hand and Dole whip in the other!

5. Watching the guy who sprays on the sun block at Blizzard beach or Typhoon lagoon; it’s a work of art.

6. The brain freeze I get from pounding 3 FROZEN STOP LIGHTS at the little bar near the Honey I shrunk the kids play ground at Hollywood’s studios.

7. All you can eat just around every corner.

THE RIDES ARE OK TOO


First trip 1986 ...
Not enough since then!
