Looking Forward ?

[dmosher]

I see a lot of people are heading to WDW in the not too distant future (this year or next) as usual.

My question is, with all of the changes, updates, etc, what are the top 5 things (rides, shows, restaurants, gifts, etc) you are most looking forward to on your next trip to WDW?
:pipes:

This is a great post thank you. I would have to say my top 5 would be:

1. haunted mansion
2. AK ( never been there)
3.EE
4. Rockin Roller coaster
5. just being in the world again and with people who have never been and getting to see it for the first time all over again thru their eyes

9 days til departure!!!!!

My top 5 are (in no particular order):

-Seeing my son's face when we walk into the parks for the first time!

-Camping at FW for the first time. We're actually looking at bigger campers to buy within the next 9 days!

-Fireworks, parades and Fantasmic. We didn't get to do any of these the last time we went.

-EE. It wasn't there last time.

-Tower of Terror. Son was 5 last time and freaked out so much when he was on this, we didn't get to ride another ride for 2 days! He's actually excited about riding it again.

1) As this will be our first Christmas time trip, I am most looking forward to the decorations and the lights.

2) Quality time with my family in a place we all love.

3) EE

4) Fantasmic!

5) That special feeling that I can't get anywhere except Disney.
