    Question Must Do!

    What is on your Must Do list for each park?

    Epcot: Maelstrom, Test Track, and Spaceship Earth...oh and Figment

    Studios: Sci-fi, Voyage of the Little Mermaid, and now TSM

    AK: Safari, Tough to be a bug...and I know it is not really part of the park but Rain Forest Cafe is our end of the day tradition

    Chef Mickey's breakfast is a tradition on our last MK day!

    Other than that, I don't think there is anything at WDW that is a "must do". There are so many things I really enjoy, if I missed something I would know there will always be another trip to catch it!

    MK: Have to go on Pirates of the Caribbean at least once.

    EPCOT: Test Track and Soarin' (if the wait times aren't outrageous).

    DHS: Tower of Terror and Fried Chicken at The Prime Time.

    AK: I usually don't spend too much time in this park, however Expedition Everest is always a must.
