We have been so many times, but, have so much more to do at WDW. What is the one thing ( or many things!) that you want to do o your next trip that you've never done.

Here's my short list:

1. Choose your oyster/pearl in Japan.
2. New Innovations attractions
3. Watch fireworks from atop the Contemporary.
4. Do the bonfire at the campground.

That's all I can think of at this very second. I'd love to hear whatever else you've got on your list.

-Stay at the Boardwalk with a lake view
-Choose an oyster in Japan (excellent idea..I think I'll do that in May too!

-Video as much as I can and put together my own travel documentary to enjoy between trips
-Finally see "the kiss goodnight" at MK

Segway Tour through World Showcase
Parasailing over Bay Lake

Mine would take up 2 pages of this thread. However, one thing I want to do when I retire or win the lottery is to create my own daily live website from the World. Each day would be based on what visitors voted for the previous day. Things like in depth review of a specific place at a resort, random interviews with guests.

1. Meet Gadget, the unrequited love of my childhood. (Alas, why couldn't G-Force have been a Rescue Rangers film? It would have taken so little re-writing, and Gadget would once again be in the public eye. Alas...)

2. See Country Bears

3. See Enchanted Tiki Room

4. Get a respectable score on Buzz Lightyear.

Wow. I logged onto Intercot to post the question "What do you have left to do at Walt Disney World?" and this thread was at the top of the Theme Parks forum. Freaky and excellent timing!! Great minds think alike, I guess. :thumbsup:

Anyway, my answers...

Visit Animal Kingdom at night (Opportunities are few and far between but it's gotta happen.)
Drink around the world. (After attempting this in December and knowing what the results were, this might not be the best idea. )
Stay in Cinderella Castle suite. (Not happening.)
Hold a private party inside of an attraction. (When I win the lottery.)
The chef's table at Victoria & Albert's.
And sadly this one will never come true: Visit the Adventurer's Club.

Yes we do think alike!!! My main reason for starting this thread was to expand my list! And from everyone's input, wow... my list is long. By the looks of it, my list looks like I've never been there!

BTW... On our last trip in October, we did the evening EMH at AK. It was great. We got there about 3pm (park was open until 8pm) and we did everything we wanted to except for Nemo of course. We were on the last safari, the last Fest of the Lion King and had dinner at Yak n Yeti Counter service, met mickey and minnie - together!, and rode EE 3 times - totally different ride in the dark! One of the best things was the walk to the gates at closing... soooooo peaceful, with just the sounds of AK and the foilage wrapping us in a big hug goodbye! We knew for sure that we were the only ones in the park that night.

On the way to the car, we even had stroller races in the parking lot. There was no tram, bus or car in sight but our own. (i'm sure there was about a hundred cars all sporadically parked... felt like it was just ours though.) :thumbsup: :cloud9:

In all the years I've been going to WDW, I've never been to Tom Sawyer's Island in MK or ridden Kali River Rapids in AK. I've put Tom Sawyer's on my must-do list for this May, but I don't know about Kali. I hate being wet and walking around the parks...maybe one of these days I'll decide to just do it and put up with squishy underwear for the rest of the day! :D

Dine at several nice restaurants in the World.
A trip to Disney without the kids-- but that one we can cross off the list as of this July.
Segway Tour at Epcot
Keys to the Kingdom Tour

And a note to Laprana from the post above-- take a large trash bag with you next time you go to AK and you can ride Kali River Rapids. Put it on upside down and punch out holes for your arms and head, or just your head if you so choose. It will keep you mostly dry. Then you can pass it off to the next person in line. We've done that many times with good success. Its not perfect but it usually works.

I REALLY want to do this. In all honesty, I probably wouldn't even go on a ride. I just want to stroll through the park, take pictures, and enjoy the sites, since it's so incredibly rare to be at DAK with the lights on.

02-23-2010, 03:57 PM
:DHere are the newest additions to my list from all of your lists - and then some! -

1. Stay in every resort at least once.

3. Wishes Cruise
4. AKL Safari
5. Surprise gifts for family on arrival
6. Renew wedding vows in front of castle
7. Ride in Cinderella's carriage
8. Be in a parade
9. Chef table at V&A
10. Be a cast member! (preferably wedding planner, special event planner, concierge level cm, or character - if Mulan ever gains weight, I'm in! :D)
11. Eat at every restaruant ever
12. Wake up in Cinderella's suite!
13. Wishes Dessert party
14. Go for a week WITHOUT park tix. This will force us to go to resorts and find other ways to have fun... not that there is a lack of things to do at all.

Osborn Spectacle of Lights. We have missed it twice and I would love to see it.

Also we have been many times but have never done Mission Space. The family has never wanted to try it and I didn't want to do it myself. I am doing it next trip even if I have to do it by myself.

- Eat dinner at every TS and CS places, and I'd especially like to try Narcoossee's and California Grill
- Take the Keys to the Kingdom Tour and the Epcot Segway Tour (doing the KTK tour in May, can't wait to cross it off the list!)
- Slow down more in the parks and just look around, soaking in all the amazing details that I've overlooked before

stroll around the countries. We have not been in all the shops or done all the shows there.

After living and working at WDW back in '97, I still have things on my to-do list.

Ride the paddlewheel boat around Rivers of America
Eat at Victoria & Albert's
Stay at The Contemporary, Poly, and GF
Take Segway Tour
Take Behind the Seeds tour
Buy into DVC
Horseback riding at FW
Ride every 'ride' in WDW in one day - actually tried this once and had even developed a timetable that made it seem almost possible, but my friend that was to come with me got a bad ticket from a CM so we had to leave before we even started :(
Take a Land/Sea trip - never been on a cruise before


And most importantly, see the expression on my first child's face when he/she sees the magic for the very first time. Been trying for almost 10 years now...

Victoria and Albert's with my wife then a nighttime walk through MK - no kids.

My wife and I were able to do the nighttime walk through MK with no kids. It was great, other than the fact that we missed the kids so darned much!

I have never done Fantasmic! We are going to try to see it this year.

That was us on our October 07 trip. DH and I had a long weekend without the kids and while it was GREAT, the whole time we were talking about the kids and how fun it will be when we come with them.

I hate being wet and walking around the parks...maybe one of these days I'll decide to just do it and put up with squishy underwear for the rest of the day! :D

Well, my 2 cents are, you absolutely HAVE to do Tom Saywer's island. We love Kali River Rapids, but TSI is just a great place to run around and play. The kids will like it too.

What a great thread...I'm enjoying reading the responses. My list of things I'd like to do one day could probably fill pages, so I'm going to try to limit myself to 10.

Go to Jellyrolls (possibly this summer)
Stay at the Wilderness Lodge
Stay at the Poly.
Have a drink in every country around the 'World'

Cirque du Soliel
Wishes desert party
Share the Disney experience with my BF (which we'll be doing this summer)
Stay for longer than a week
Eat at Cali Grill



So that was more than 10...and once I got started I just wante dto keep going ;-).

Stay in an Epcot resort. We had made a reservation for YC for our upcoming trip, but switched back to the Poly because I didn't want a standard view room there. Someday we'll get a water view room at the YC/BC...

I like that 'stay for 2 weeks' idea. That would be a delight. And maybe, MAYBE we wouldn't have to go at such a frightful speed the whole time. We'd be able to slow down a bit...smell the roses.

I would love to dine at Victoria and Albert's, as well. What a dream.

As I am not very good with heights and never even really enjoyed going down slides as a child, I have still not ridden Splash Mountain. I really, really want to be able to ride it when we go in August and have been building myself up psychologically to do this. Even going so far as to watch the ride via You Tube and time how long the drop actually lasts. My family have been explaing the science behind it, so that I know that I can't fall out. So here goes we will be there from 25th August - 8th September, so if you see a crazy english lady panicing before the ride and with a huge grin after it, then it could well be me.
