My DW and I are heading down in 90 days. We've been about 12 times, and recently discovered a couple things we didn't know existed, as well as a few restaurants we've never done.

We had no idea about the "make your own treat" counter at Goofy's Candy Company. That looks awesome!

I've also never been to Downtown Disney's West Side. We're going to hit Bongo's for lunch on our way into town on the first day.

How about you guys? Anything that you've never tried, that you actually want to?

If weather is nice, my DD and I will try Typhoon Lagoon now that she is a better swimmer and tall enough.

Actually we're doing this as well. I didn't mention them in the original post, but other first time things:

Staying at Bay Lake Tower
Taking the Backstage Magic Tour
Eating at Mama Melrose, Be Our Guest (TS), Le Cellier (haven't tried it since it went "Signature"), Breakfast at the new French Bakery, eating at The Wave, and Bongo's.

Can't go wrong with the Bongo's Cuban sandwich! Do keep in mind that it is quite large and one sandwich can feed two people!

My wife has spoken about the Be Our Guest restaurant a few times, as well as doing Tea with our girls at the GF, so I'd like to make that happen.

Personally, I'd like to try the walking tour through the savanna in AK. Hopefully they've gotten that recent salmonella thing under control before we do that. I wish it wasn't so expensive though.

I'm also excited about seeing the new Fantasyland, bit that's a given. We've already ridden the new Dumbo, which was fun, but I can't wait to see the whole thing finally come together!

Take the boat that passes the Treehouse Villas.

I just recently added this to my list. I think I could spend a whole day just exploring the boat/ferry system... With lunch or possibly tea thrown in of course

Thinking of going up in the balloon at DTD. Also gonna try to "drink around the world". Maybe visit some other resorts either for dinner or for scenery, instead of just staying in the parks.

We are trying a few new things on our next trip, in less than two weeks! Woo Hoo!!

We have Biergarten in Epcot and Sanaa at AKL booked that are both new meals for us. We are hoping to eat lunch at Be Our Guest, if the line isn't painfully long (and maybe even of it is :blush:). We also plan to try a few new snacks and drinks in Epcot for lunch.

All the new stuff in Fantasyland will be new to us. This will be our first trip since the Test Track refurb.

We are staying at Wilderness Lodge and the rooms have been refurbished since our last stay. And I am hoping for new refillable mugs. LOL!

If time allows we would like to try either mini golf (which we have never done in Disney) or check out the new bowling place at DTD.

This will be the first time my father in law goes to Disney. The 5 grandchildren that are going are thrilled to have him joining us! First time in Disney with pawpaw.

So nothing earth shattering for us, but lot of little things we have not yet done.

On our last trip this past November my brother and I saw the "Flights of Wonder" show at Animal Kingdom for the first time and loved it! We saw most of what we could at the new Fantasyland, but didn't get to try "Be Our Guest"...so maybe that's a priority for our next Disney trip.

Going to finally try Mission Space (the non-spinning one). Never ridden it all before.

Upon our return to WDW, DW and I are going to try the Rose and Crown restaurant. We are also going to try the "new" Boulangerie Patisserie, we've been to the old version and can't wait for the new version.
Sticking with Epcot, while enjoying the Flower and Garden Festival, we're going to try the new food booths that have been added to the festival.
All food related new things......:D

A new resort! I'm not going back to POP and this time I mean it. I love POP, and every trip I say to myself that I won't stay there and try something new but every time I end up going back there. I'm looking forward to something more upscale like Beach Club, Boardwalk or Grand Floridian!

We like to add new things each trip, too. Last trip two years ago we rode Carousel of Progress, the children got face tattoos during the Halloween Party at MK, we did the Kim Possible Adventure at Epcot and we asked a Photopass photographer to give us the magic shot in the World Showcase that has the characters hang gliding overhead.

For our next trip our new things will be to ride Toy Story Mania at HS and the Ellen ride (Ellen's Adventure??) at Epcot, to walk or take the boat from HS to Epcot, and to eat lunch upstairs on the "bridge" at the little seafood restaurant across from the Haunted Mansion (can't remember the name right now). We also want to try Teppen Edo. Can't wait to go back!!:mickey:

Last trip, we tried Disney Quest so sticking with the DTD theme, we have a reservation for Splitsville on our first full day of the trip.

We have actually decided to leave 2 days earlier than scheduled and will be staying at the AOA resort for the first time (and then moving to our favorite resort CBR). During our 2 day early arrival, we will be trying Sea World which we have never been to.

My daughter will be doing the Tea Party at GF and we will actually see Illuminations for the first time (have been the past 10 years and have never stayed for this).

Well my husband and I are expecting our first child this June, so most things our next trip will be new or at least experienced in a new way. We have tentative plans for a trip the summer of 2015 with us, my parents and sister, one of my best friends and her husband (also expecting their first child in March), and our other best friend and her husband and their then 5 year old.

It'll be our first time travelling with a young child, first time at Disney with children since I was one myself, and first time with a group larger than 5.

Disney specific firsts that we want to see are new Fantasyland, a few new restaurants, and checking out the Poly and the WL, neither of which have I seen inside.

I will try to relax at the resort during the day and hit the parks early evening. I want to rent a mouse racer, go biking and maybe try parasailing. The parks are great but the new FP+ and magic bracelets are making me nervous. Besides the resort has lots to do during the day, Magic cookie hour at WL is a must do!:chef::tink:

Aside from EVERYTHING in the new Fantasyland expansion, we may try the character breakfast at Animal Kingdom. I've heard good things about it.

Most of our new things are due to the New Fantasyland...we haven't been since any of the new attractions/restaurants/shops opened. We will also try the refurbed Test Track. We are trying several new restaurants (Beaches and Cream, Sanaa, Artist Pointe to name a few) and Crystal Palace before MK opens. We are trying the royal rooms at POR and are visiting AKL for the first time and its Mom's first time visiting WL. I want to see more of DTD...we mainly go for the Christmas store and Goofy's. A game of mini golf is also on the list...we never seem to get around to it. :mickey:
