New Things to Experience/Do?

[tmli]

In September we will be taking our fifth trip to the World in as many years. Everyone asks me if I ever get bored and are shocked to know that there are still so many things I have yet to see or do. How many of you have been several times and still have so many new things left to do? I think part of it is travelling without my dh...being alone with my ds changes the things we can do so as he grows we get to do new things.

These are some of things I have planned for this next trip that are new for me:

MNSSHP, Character Breakfast at Chef Mickeys(never done either), Hoop Dee Du, bought some meal vouchers (Q&C and VKL) so I plan on trying foods other than counter service. I hope to ride Test Track and I have never been to the Living Seas.

What's on your new to do list for your next trip?

This might be an unrelated Vent but.....


People look at me with funny faces when I say I go every year but if you think about it - what are other vacation choices. Here is how I look at it.

Beach Go'ers - Might go to different beaches - but they lay on the beach all day - on sand in front of water - SAME THING NO MATTER WHAT STATE!

Sight See'rs - How many museums and churches can you see?

Cruise go'ers - Once you have seen one ship you have seen them all!!!!

So is going to Disney all that much different! Actually you can enjoy all of the above with Disney

Beach - certain resorts

Sights - WORLD SHOWCASE and all the parks!

Cruise - There is a Disney Cruise but you can always try renting a paddle boat Boat on water - same effect - just no golf course!!!!

That was just a vent - I dont like people who say "YOUR GOING TO DISNEY AGAIN!" YES I AM BUDDY!

ON to your question - what do I do that is new - enjoy myself even more than I did the previous year!!! Cant beat that!

There are oh so many restaurants I have yet to eat in. On my upcoming trip I am going to eat at the Liberty Tree Tavern for the first time. I am going to try and finally see Tarzan Rocks at AK. Stitch's escape should be open, so I'll try that. I may also do the Backstage Magic Tour, another first.

 

[snowglobe girl]

New things we're going to do:

MNSSHP (I can't wait!!!)

Keys to the Kingdom tour

Cirque de Soliel

Blizzard Beach

Hopefully Stitch's Escape

Whatever else I can!!!!!!!!! There is ALWAYS something new to do.

Nickunited - I totally agree with you. My answer to that when people ask me the same question is "Where else on earth can you go and totally leave the outside world behind and live in a fantasy world for a complete week??!!" I wouldn't go anywhere else. People pay a lot more money on their vacations for a lot less entertainment and fun.

Last May was my 18th trip. What did I do new? Saw American Adventure film for the first time (can't believe I never saw it before!), first Kitchen Sink, first character dinner at LTT, first time on Kali River Rapids, first time at Gurgling Suicase, first time taking DH on Illuminations Cruise (I've been before, he hasn't). #19 in January-have several "firsts" planned-first Mini-Golf, first time at ITTBAB (planned to do it this time, but too wet from KRR), first time at Sci-Fi, not sure what else yet. Oh, yes-first stay at SSR, but that's so new, it doesn't count since I never could do it before.

This December will be our 7th trip as a family. Some of the things on our list to do for the first time are:

MVMCP - very excited!!!
Illuminations Cruise (If we can get it.)
Candelight Processional
Osborne Lights
Renting Watermice
Eating the "kitchen sink" at Beaches and Cream
Spending more time at AK (We totally skipped it on our last trip and when we went in 2002, the only things we saw were the Lion King show, the safari ride and "It's tough to be a bug".)

Can't wait!!!

WOW!! There really is a lot I haven't done yet. Reading all your posts I'm thinking I may have to add a few things to my list.

There really isn't a better vacation for my ds and I. It is a perfect fit for our needs, and as you all have proofed each trip is like a different vacation.

For those who are doing the Illuminations Cruise for the first time, it is amazing! I have never seen illuminations any other way then from a cruise...we are doing our third this year!!!

We're doing the Backstage Magic Tour this year. We've been waiting for DS to turn 16. It's a little expensive ($199) but I hear it's worth it.

There are things I've planned for my next trip that I've never done before:

- Cape May Cafe at Beach Club
- Carriage Ride at Port Orleans Riverside

There are soooo many things to do at DisneyWorld that I don't know if you can really get to everything unless you live there and visit at least weekly for several years!

I totally agree about some people just not getting it - they most likely are the ones that only go at Spring Break or Summer and only visit a couple of the parks (can't believe the people I have talked to that have stayed at least a week but didn't even visit all of the parks) and never want to go back because of the heat or the crowds, etc.

This trip we are only going to be at the World from Fri-Mon before heading to DVBR (a first itself), but we are going to do sooo many firsts! We will be going to HDDR, spending a birthday in the World, taking kids to see COP and Tiki birds (they have never seen either!), seeing the flag retreat at MK, watching the EWP, parasailing, Cirque, Bob Jackson, renting watermice, eating at the character dinner at LTT, eating breakfast at Boma, eating at Ohana, eating breakfast at Chef Mickey's (yes, a lot of our new items are food related this time!).

 

[mmccoy]

Three things we're already planning for our next trip:

Backstage Magic Tour
Segway Tour
Disney Quest

 

[MrsG]

We're staying at BCV for the first time. We plan on visiting BW at night, eat at Nine Dragons, take time to go in Stormalong Bay during the day, and try to relax more!

We are going to WDW in Sept - it will be my 10th trip & my hubby & my 5th trip together! We have a huge list of new things we're trying this trip:

- Staying at POP Century!
