I always do this first/last

[SandmanGStefani24]

Had a thought after reading some of the 'addicted' thread and some of its responses. I always like to read people's stories and thoughts here when I'm going through WDW withdrawls so tell us what you always like to do first and last.

I'll start. On my MK day, I always head to Space Mountain to ride it and then grab a fastpass to ride it later before heading to the TTA.

My trips always end at Epcot, and I always ride Spaceship Earth last. It's my favorite ride and I like to ride it first in English and then in another language for fun. It's a little bittersweet getting off the ride when it's done but I wouldn't want to end my trip any other way.

Your turn guys and gals!

The first thing I do when I land is go to the food court and hit Chick-Fil-A. We don't have those where I live, and I have to have the world's best chicken sandwich to start the trip.

The last thing I do is go to Epcot on the last day. I find the best seat possible for Illuminations. Then, after it's over, I wait for about 20 minutes sitting in World Showcase. I love that. The walk out of the park is so much better after that wait.

We usually arrive late afternoon after a very long day and a half drive, so we just hang out at the hotel the few hours that we're there that first day. We get pizza by the pool and go swimming.

Our last day is never planned, we just pick a park that we feel like we wanted to do more at. However, next time we're driving home first thing in the morning that last day, instead of spending half the day at a park. We'll see if we actually stick with that plan.

I always start & end my trips at Magic Kingdom

[Disney4us2]

We usually start at Epcot for SE and Test Track. We end at MK for Philharmagic and all the old Disneyland attractions that are now at WDW.

First:
We always get in late afternoon so we go to DTD, eat dinner and shop...

Last:
Eat TS breakfast and then spend half day in a park, (usually MK or Epcot). Then on to Lake City where we spend the night before driving home the following day.

We do different things on our first day, but on the last night of every vacation, we are always at MK to watch Wishes, even if we have seen it before on that trip. The fireworks over the castle with the music and lights is the ultimate icon of the Disney "magic" to me.

[Imagineer1981]

We always start with Magic Kingdom. Always, then end with Magic Kingdom (unless you count the next day when we leave hanging out at Downtown Disney for a few hours for that last fix)

[ChipNDale79]

We start our trip at MK and usually ride TTA first, im not sure why or how this got started but we noticed the last time we went that for some reason we always migrate to the TTA first.

The last thing we do is watch Wishes the night before we leave, I cant think of a better way to close a vacation.

It's always a sad bus ride back to our hotel knowing our trip is over.

[Suz36]

We always start and end at MK. Our first ride tends to be PoC, and on our last day we usually pick a favorite ride in each land, in no particular order.

[clubber]

We're taking our son for the first time next week, so it will be time to start traditions, which I think will be cool.
After arriving, the first thing we have planned is to ride the monorail into The Contemporary for dinner at Chef Mickey's to dine with all of his favorite characters. And we'll end our trip with dinner at Ohana's followed by Wishes in the Magic Kingdom.
Can't wait!

We usually start and end with MK. On abbreviated trips that doesnt seem to be the case because we want to get as much in as possible.

[waymickey]

We always start our trip with a boat ride to MK and head straight for Carousel of progress . Our last day is also spent in the Magic Kingdom. We walk up to the train station and wave good bye to the castle until next time!

[kemps@wdw]

I start and finish my trip in the exact same place, on the dock @ the WL. The 1st day (and every day) I walk down to the dock @ sunrise, in my jammies, and have my AM coffee. The sun rising over Bay Lake...beautiful and peaceful. And on the last evening, before we go to bed, I return for an evening cocktail. Usually catch the electric water parade, check out the moon and stars (if they're out) over Bay Lake, watch the boats come and go, and contemplate our next trip.

[LauraByTheSea]

Normally, we would start at MK and the Railroad, but this time (in less than 24 hours! AHH!) I let DH pick the very first ride he wanted to go on. He picked Dinosaur, so tomorrow is AK for the fisrt 1/2 of the day. For the last, we would again, normally end at AK, but I'm not sure yet about this trip...

[SandmanGStefani24]

The first thing I do when I land is go to the food court and hit Chick-Fil-A. We don't have those where I live, and I have to have the world's best chicken sandwich to start the trip.

Wow! I didn't know Chick Fil-A wasn't nationwide. Learn something everyday...Next time I eat one I will appreciate it more than I already do.

I used to live in Texas where Chick-Fil-A was everywhere. Guess what else we don't have out here: Whataburger, Cracker Barrel, Schlotzkys (the horror), and no BBQ joints on every corner. But we do have really high state income taxes, a nearly bankrupt government, and nice weather - other than fog like in the movie "The Mist". That's why I HAVE to hit Chick-Fil-A.

On our last day at MK, we go on the TTA last. Then at the end of Main Street, we stop and wave goodbye at the castle.
We always do Epcot the very last day, ending with Spaceship Earth. It's always the first thing we do and the last.

[MagicalGuest]

We always start and end at MK. First day: run over to FP Splash Mountain, then PoC and tacos nearby for lunch. Last day: It's "favorites day" when everyone picks a favorite ride/attractions. This year we ended w/TTA.

[disneymom2000]

First thing is to drop everything off at the resort and head over to MK to walk down Main Street USA to have dinner at the Castle.

The last day after I drop my bags off for bus pickup, I head over to EPCOT to walk through World Showcase once more before heading to the airport. I like to pick up souvenirs during this last trot through the showcase.
