So DH and I were talking about our upcoming trip, and he told me to come up with my top 5 must dos...and I couldn't! I love it all, I can't pick just 5 things I have to do this trip. So, can anyone else come up with their "top 5"?

[Cinderella7299]

Only five? It varies depending on my age and circumstances on each trip.

I agree!! We have certain "musts" depending on our resort. Our favs for each trip (regardless of resort) would have to be:

1) Stroll around the Boardwalk.
2) Catch the British Invasion (huge Beatles fan, here!).
3) Take a ferry boat to the Magic Kingdom.
4) Stroll around World Showcase.
5) Have dinner at Kona Cafe.

Not very exciting, but we generally like to take it easy and really take the time to soak all the "magic" in!

:mickey: Ginnylynne

[BrerSchultzy]

The number one Must Do for each and every trip is:

Try and keep up with my dad.

And I usually fail.

Other than that, our top 5 for our summer trip is:

Picture in front of the castle with our newborn (baby Sam will be six months when we go)!
Finding Nemo: the Musical
POTC
Splash Mountain
Buying little Sam his first Mouse Ears.

If I can do those five things, I'll continue to be the happiest man alive.

[Rayadragon]

Yikes this is tough!

1. ToT - my favorite Disney ride hands down
2. EE - Love the backwards portion
3. FotLK - I just love this show, there's so much to see
4. Haunted Mansion - an absolute classic. Besides, I need my hitchhiking ghost.
5. Fireworks of any sort - I love fireworks, and when I was a kid we never stayed for them because my brother was (and is) afraid of the loud booms. I'm more than old enough now to stay by myself if need be, and my brother is pretty good about covering his ears and not panicking now. It's a huge thing for me to be able to see them now.
