 Your Top 5?
We were trying to plan for our upcoming April pilgrimage.
I asked this question of my family and then I thought...why not ask the EXPERTS ?
Please let me know, what are the top 5 things you MUST do/see at WDW?
Been there, done that...CAN'T WAIT...going back!
1971 (YES, 71...tour the trailers that housed the miniatures of the rides, resorts and property), 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 09, 11, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19 and soon....20!

My top five:
1. Watch Wishes fireworks show from in front of Cindy's castle. This is the essences of WD magic for me. I can't imagine a trip to WDW without seeing this at least once.
2. Ride Splash Mountain, several times. This is our families favorite WDW attraction. It has great thrills, great mucis and it's a long ride. especially cool to ride after dark (in warm weather)
3. Watch a live Disney show. we like Festival of the Lion King at AK, but there are other good ones, too.
4. Eat at least one really good or unusual TS restaurant meal. (We are not big spenders on food, so we eat mostly CS). We like 'Ohana, Boma, Teppan Edo, Rose & Crown during Illuminations, and once in a while, California Grill.
5. Visit the parks after dark, if possible, There is a completely different, more magical atmosphere when going at night.
