We will be returning to the World on Sept. 9th. Our last trip was a short weekend in January 2007. Before that we were there every year. So what has changed? What do we need to add to our "must" do list that we may not have seen before?

We will be at Sports for the week and my sister-in-law and her family are at Movies. This will be my 8 year old niece's first trip. We have tickets for MNSSHP.

So what else do we need to know?

DHS-Toy Story Mania and American Idol are new. Star Tours has recently been refurbed.

Epcot-Sum of all Thrills is new, Via Napoli restaurant is new and getting reviews and Spaceship Earth got a refurb I think in 2008.

Animal Kingdom-Finding Nemo show is new and Yak and Yeti restaurants are new additions.

Magic Kingdom-Space Mountain got a refurb, Haunted Mansion has new queue and a few other changes, Obama was added to Hall of Presidents and Toon Town is no more due to current renovations being made to Fantasyland.

Do not miss the Magic Memories and You castle show. It is projected on the castle right before Wishes. Also, they have brought back the Main Street Electric Parade.

The Enchanted Tiki Room is under "old management" as well. So you will want to check that out.

The Haunted Mansion and Winnie the Pooh attractions now have interactive queues which are also new.

Space Mountain has a new queue and new sounds along the track. The Tomorrowland Transit Authority (Peoplemover) also has a new dialogue.

Have a great trip!

:ditto: Describing this show doesn't come close to doing it justice. It's amazing and beautiful.

Kim Possible interactive spy missions at EPCOT. You sign up at a kiosk and get a Kimmunicator and help save the day... It's a ton of fun and angood way to get kids excited about learning from each country.
