The "little things" we love to do at WDW

Yes, we love all the big rides like ToT, MS, SM BTM, TT and Everest but, there are also a lot of smaller things we enjoy just as much. Some of them are simple, some involve eating but all are must do's each trip. Here are our list. What are the "little" things you enjoy?

1. Walking the EPCOT countries at night
2. Cinnamon Roll at Starring Rolls after getting FP for TSM
3. Shaved Ice in Japan
4. Watching the same cartoons over and over again after a long day
5. The first monorail ride of the trip
6. Shopping at Downtown Disney
7. Spending some time on the Boardwalk
8. Taking the kids to the resort arcade
9. A late night skool bread in Norway
10. Being one of the last guests to leave MK at night.

1. Ham & cheese croissant from the pastry shop in France.

2. Rest day/ swim day to enjoy the resort

3. Watching/dodging the jumping water fountain at EPCOT

A few little things we enjoy:

1) Taking a break in the rocking chairs at Aunt Polly's while our kids explore Tom sawyer Island.

2) Floating round and round on the lazy rivers at either of the water parks.

3) Eating a Casey's hot dog while waiting for the MK fireworks to begin.

4) The Flights of Wonder bird show at AK.

5) Riding the steam trains on the Walt Disney Railroad

6) Watching the big fountain at Epcot soak unsuspecting guests passing by. Really a good show on windy days. :funny:

7) Downing a cool tasty refreshing sip or two of Beverly at Coco Cola's Club Cool (formerly Ice Station Cool) at Epcot. :laughing:

1. Having my picture taken at the "Singin' in the Rain" photo op site in Disney Studios.

2. The rides in the Mexico and Norway pavilions at EPCOT.

3. Boarding the Magical Express at the Orlando airport and watching the video en route to the hotel, knowing my WDW vacation has begun in earnest.

Some of the things we like....

• Club Cool
• Dole Whips at Adventureland
• Beer in Germany
• Angus Beef Burger at Pecos Bill's
• Ice Cream at Pinoccios Village Haus while watching IASW
• Meatball Sub at Earl of Sandwich
• The tiles that light up at Epcot at night near the fountain
• Walking around TS Island

stopping to see the "little" shows:Woody and gang in Frontier land


Visiting the Christmas shop in MK


always purchase a photo op picture from each park


spend some time at the resort...pool/arcade



omg!That grapefruit soda is just terrible:sick: lol

since I am an early riser either:

1) take a leisurely stroll around the resort in the coolness of the morning.

OR

2) Drink an early cup of coffee on the balcony of our room

ooohhhh! I love this thread!! Lots of great ideas to find the hidden magic!!

I love sitting on a bench watching the Fountain of Nations, listening to the ambient sounds, while my son sleeps in the stroller.

I like to ride the people mover/blue line/tta with an entire car to myself. Put your feet up, take a load off and get a great tour of tomorrow land!

1. People watching wherever I may be. 2. Relaxing on the rockers on the porch of Pioneer Hall. 3. Walking down Main Street 4. Sitting on the balcony of my resort (regardless of which resort it might be). 5. Hanging out at Territory Lounge. 6. Having lunch at the Grand Floridian Cafe on my last day i the World. 7. Listening to the band at the Grand Floridian. 8. Landing in Orlando airport and seeing the first palm tree I can spy. 9. Entering my room in Disney World for the first time (regardless of resort). 10. Knowing my whole vacation is in front of me on the day I arrive.

Relaxing in the rockers on the porch at Tony's for a good hour or so after a full day at MK

1) Sitting on my resort balcony with a cup of coffee early in the morning anticipating the itinerary for the day

2) Soaking in the resort pool after a long day at the park

3) A wonderful pastry at Main Street Bakery while sitting outside people watching as everyone enters the park

4) Taking an unsuspecting newbie on the Backlot Tour and putting them in the car where the get the "best view" of Catastophe Canyon. :funny:

Watching the bunnies at WL while we eat outdoors.

Our table for 2 at Territory Lounge while DS plays in the arcade.

The boat rides back and forth from WL to the MK.

Bike rides from WL to FW.

Sitting on our balcony with some :wine: and just looking at the sky.

People watching in the parks.

We love that 1st walk down Main Street on the 1st morning of our vacation - always feels like the 1st time! :cloud9:

We also look for "Rosie" in DHS - she is a must on all Disney trips- too funny.

Peco's Bills - need i say more? :blush:

Are they playing them again? Last couple of trips, they were only showing them at All Stars Movies.

I hope they have brought them back! 16 more days until we arrive!

1. Riding the monorail to the MCO terminal (the signal that the vacation has begun!)
2. Monorail from MK to Epcot . . . at least once, so we can hear the whole "Por favor" spiel.
3. Strolling the grounds of the GF, hand in hand.
4. Sitting on a bench in the nature walk at AK, and just watching the birds.
5. Smelling the water from POTC. Nothing like it!
6. Wedway/TTA rides.

I just can't wait to ride the monorail again.... its been 4 long years of neglect by me. For this I am sorry!

From a Savannah view at AKL, sit on the balcony as the animals begin or end the day.

Eating pizza by the pool.
