I would never
ride the Speedway cars at MK
wait in line for more than 30 minutes
make fun of my wife for being scared to go on Splash Mountain and Tower of Terror
make a trip without going to Chef Mickey's
take a table in the back wine room at the California Grill
visit the California Grill again, for that matter
stay offsite, because we're going to be DVC members soon
rely on Disney buses to get around
stop reading the discussion boards on Intercot.

I would never forget to throw a few coins into the fountain at the entrance to the Polynesian as a way to show thanks for being there, and a wish for a timely return

Stay offsite.
Growl at my child while we were on Soarin' or yell at another guest about her seat belt (had this happen in October.)
Eat at the Noodle Station.
Not make an ADR for CA Grill, even if the Wishes ADR's are long gone.
Run from the park when it is pouring.
About the deodorant people... on my first grown up trip, I packed a small park kit that included baby wipes, hand sanitizer, and deodorant. DH complained, "Why are you bringing all of that junk? I hope that you are planning to carry it!" Well, within two hours he had gotten hot and sweaty and eaten at Flame Tree. He never yells at me for bringing "too much" to the parks!

Good question ... I like this topic!
I can definitively say I would never go back to doing the parks "commando style." We go often enough and have been enough times, that we can afford to just relax and take it easy. No more racing from park to park, starting at the crack of dawn, and finishing when the last park closes for the night for us!
I can also say we'd never go back during the summer months. I went once in June and that was it for me. We'll take the kids out of school and go at the slower times, thank you very much.
We'll also never wait in a line for more than 30 minutes. Again, we go often enough and have been enough times that missing an attraction on a trip just isn't the end of the world. We'll be back.
And last but not least, I'd never try and sneak up to a parade or show at the last minute and steal a good spot from people who have been waiting for an hour. If I had a nickel for every time someone tried to pull this on us, we'd be living in a suite at the Grand Floridian!

-- I would never forget to say "thank you" to the bus driver, especially when its late at night and she/he is making the last trip with cranky parents & kids (this does NOT apply to the one crazy bus driver we had in Sept 06 who thought that driving like a bat out of you-know-where was appropriate - he hit a curb and popped a tire. We were stuck waiting on the side of the road for another bus!)
-- I would never not laugh hysterically and genuinely on Dumbo as DS takes us all the way up in the air before yanking down on the handle to make us feel like we are free falling!
-- I would never let DS yelling "NO" keep me from taking him on a ride (my son fears NOTHING but he loves to yell NO just as we are getting on a ride - be it Peter Pan or BTMRR). Many times I am sharply judged and criticized by other parents standing around who don't understand his little game.
-- In that vein... I try to not judge other parents - I don't know their situation and they may have a master manipulator like me! (Especially if they are hot, tired, and cranky as well - its not just the kids who get this way)
-- As for the deoderant... I would never be upset that someone is refreshing themselves in public - I have been beside "that person" too many times and I sometimes secretly wish I could pull out my spray on deoderant and "accidentally" cover them in it!
-- I would never take for granted the special feeling that I get walking into the MK & DH would never laugh at me for crying each and every time

Awesome advice ... I've seen so many people lambasting parents who "force" their kids on rides that they might be scared of and I can't believe how judgemental some folks are (oddly enough, it seems like they're always the ones preaching "tolerance" in other places, but I digress ... )
I make DD6 try every ride at least once (within reason). Little kids are scared of everything the first time around. How will they ever grow and evolve as people if we never push them outside of their comfort zones?
Heck, I was terrified the first time I went on Space Mountain, but my Dad made me ride it and guess what? I survived. And now I love thrill rides. If no one had ever made me get over my fears, how would I have known how much I love roller coasters??
