Never lose the magic!

dab · 09-09-2003

Is there something you've always wanted to do at WDW but never go around to doing it? Let's get a list going that will perhaps inspire some of our DC'ers who may be feeling like there isn't enough magic left. I'll start.

I'd like to...
take the Keys to the Kingdom tour.
stay at the Grand Floridian.
visit each WDW resort even if it is just for a tour.
swim at the Beach Club pool.
get to MK early, sit on a bench and watch all the people. (Wouldn't it be amazing to really watch the faces of the families seeing it for the first time.)

dznygrl · 09-09-2003

I'd love to...

stay at every WDW resort
camp at Fort Wilderness for a long time, even if I don't go to the parks...and just soak up the atmosphere
take a behind-the-scenes tour
create a photo journal that covers the whole scope of WDW...(for those of you who don't know, one of my hobbies is photography.) And I would love to publish that photo journal so I could share it with everyone... :love:

WEDINDISNEY · 09-10-2003

I'd love to:
1) Swim with the dolphins at Epcot
2) Keys to the Magic Kingdom tour
3) Re-new my wedding vows at the wedding pavallion :love:

PiratesFan · 09-10-2003

I would like to go once a year, instead of every other. While it is possible, financially, a trip never materializes until the following year. If it were a yearly thing, I would have less heart attacks from planning/anticipation! :D

preidel24 · 09-10-2003

I would like to:

Take the illumination cruise
Visit at Christmas to see all the decorations
Have dinner at Victoria and Alberts
Stay in one of the luxury suites at either Beach Club, Yacht Club or Grand Flordian
Spend my birthday in WDW
and finally

have my wedding vows re-newed at WDW (maybe #20 in 2005)

WVWISEGUY · 09-10-2003

I would like to:

Visit WDW during Christmas
Keys to the MK tour
Stay in all of the Deluxe Resorts
Ride all of the Roller Coasters (will do this when I lose enough weight, have already promised this to my 6 yr old)
Ride the Water Mice Boats (Same as above)
and finally...

Go to WDW during off peak time (hard to do because DW is a teacher).

**mickey** · 09-10-2003

Dab, what a great idea for a thread! OK, here is my list:

1. Do a WDW vacation that was just for golfing and food, no parks.
2. Stay in one of Walter E. Disney Suite or the Roy O. Disney Suite at the Grand Floridian.
3. Have my family as the guest marshalls in a parade (preferably in the MK)
4. Sunrise Safary at Animal Kingdom
5. Go on a WDW vacation long enough so that I felt that I had time to just sit in the parks and relax.

kcamozzi67 · 09-10-2003

I would like to:

1. Spend Christmas with family and friends at WDW
2. Do the Sunrise Safari Tour at AK
3. Be able to stay at Disney long enough to do all the little things, like strolls through Fort Wilderness, fishing at the fishing hole at Port Orleans, just people watching at MK at opening time.

iluvwdw · 09-10-2003

This is definitely a great thread, and has me thinking of ALL the things I haven't done on my many journeys to the WORLD!!!

1 - Stay at all of the WDW resorts (especially the Monorail resorts!)

2 - Stay for at least 2 weeks

3 - Do a behind the scenes tour or a Sunrise Safari Tour

4 - Do Illuminations cruise

5 - Eat at CRT for breakfast!!!

6 - Have a meal at ALL of the character meals at WDW

7 - Eat in all of the sit down restaurants at WDW

8 - If I don't STAY in all the WDW resorts, I would at least like to go visit each resort...I have only stayed at All Star Music and visited the Poly when we went to the Luau and Contemporary when we went to Chef Mickeys!!! :dazed

9 - BRING MY PARENTS WITH ME ON A TRIP, especially since they have NEVER been there!!!!! :whistle:

10 - TAKE A DISNEY CRUISE!!!!!

:D

ajbdk5 · 09-10-2003

Great thread, dab!;)

LOL, my list is too long to post here, I'll never lose the magic, because there is soooo much I still haven't done yet at WDW!

There are lots of rides and PS's planned for our next trip that we have never tried and are dying to!
Vacations just aren't long enough!:laugh

1 ~ Disney Cruises to all of their destinations

2 ~ Eat at all the sit down restuarants

3 ~ Be able to really soak in the environment of Epcot (we are always on the go)

4 ~ Have my son love and know the magic as he grows up and pass it on to his children

tiggerlover1971 · 09-10-2003

I know I am forgetting more stuff right now that I would love but cant think of it right now

mickaholic4077 · 09-10-2003

The minute I win the lottery(yea,right!!),I am calling up the CRO and booking the following:

3 nights each at Poly,GF,CR,AKL,and BC.(Concierge service all the way!!!) with tickets to the luau,Keys to the kingdom,Swim with Dolphins,MK fireworks cruise,as well as rent all the watercreaft at the Poly that I can handle!!!! I guess that would run me about 25,000 dollars at least,right????????????

sandanv1 · 09-10-2003

My list is easy
1. Stay at all the resorts (7 done)

2. Illuminations Cruise - In the works for 2004

3. Stay in the premium rooms/concierge

4. Take the grandkids and see WDW through their eyes. No Grandkids in the works, yet. But with the correct planning I can get those future grandkids away from DS and spirit them away to WDW.:whistle: ;) :D

5. Disney Cruise

6. Disneyland

7. All the International Disneys

goofyguy1958 · 09-10-2003

My wish list is rather short but here it is:

1. Run the WDW marathon (setting a personal best would be nice too).
2. Spend two weeks in WDW and then take the 7 day cruise to give my feet a rest -- and the rest of me, my wife and kids too.
3. Take my mom to WDW before she completely looses her sight (she has macular degeneration)-- this is my first wish. Sorry for the downer.
