The "little things" we love to do at WDW

[LovinWDW]

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!

We didnt have them our last few trips while staying at AKL and BCV. Next week we're at WLV. I really hope they have them. I Love the old cartoons.

Another fun, and FREE, "little" thing to do are the Campfire Movies at Fort Wilderness. You don't have to be a camper there to enjoy the fun. Go early and roast some marshmallows.

[Minnie_Mouse]

1. Relaxing by the pool
2. Walking through the World Showcase at sunset
3. Magical express (just waiting to arrive!!)
4. First picture in front of Cinderella Castle
5. Looking at all the Christmas decorations at the resorts

Oh, Disney has too many "little things" to list...

[Jennifer_and_Chris]

1. First bite into my Tonga Toast, first sip of Kona Coffee and watching the Lagoon while pouring over the park map
2. Taking the stroll from our room to fill our mugs up with coffee in the am and pop in the pm.
3. Hearing the kids excited voices whenever they see something particularly awesome
4. Holding my kids close when we go on rides.
5. Watching my kids raise their hands during Goofy's Barnstormer! (mama didn't raise "weak" ride kids )
6. Sitting on the balcony w/ DH while kids are sleeping soundly
7. Watching the reflection of fireworks in my kids eyes!
8. Tearing up watching my kids have so much fun w/DH's arm around my shoulders
9. Being the last ones walking towards the main gate at Epcot while DD5 chases the "sparkling" sidewalk and DD2 is sleeping in the stroller
10. Viewing all the photopass pictures online at the end of the day just to relive and keep the memories fresh
11. Writing in my journal at the end of the day for my trip report!

7 more days and I may have a new list... or at least more to add to the list.

[DisneyDINK]

1. Taking a picture at the Kodak Photo Spot each trip. Not of the recommended scenery, mind you, but a pic of noting but us and the Photo Spot sign. Kind of a tradition.
2. Reading the tombstones at HM.
3. Hearing the park music loops as we enter Epcot or the MK, especially on a sunny morning.
4. Checking out all of the great iron work and other details in the queues. (i.e. Bats in HM)
5. Dole Whip
6. Stopping to listen to Off Kilter for a song or two.
7. Taking a morning run from WL to FW or around the canal from DHS to Epcot gateway.

[waymickey]

1. Taking the boat ride to Mk from WL at night just so I can see the firworks over the castle while out on the water.

2. Taking the monorail from MK to Epcot and back again counting all the armadillos we see as we go.

3. Racing to get the paintbrushes on TS island.

4. Sitting by the fireplace at WL people watching.

5. Running down to the dock at WL to watch the water parade go by and then going inside to get a mickey ice cream before bed.

'Little things" that I enjoy with my DW:
- the Fountain of Nations, nice to rest, watch and listen.
-Enjoying an adult beverage, particularly in Germany.
-Like the OP stated, strolling the World Showcase at night.
-Hearing the Epcot Entrance music as you walk down the ramp from the Monorail
-Opening Ceremony at MK
-Taking that mid-day break to relax and swim in the Polynesian East pool.
Great thread!

[dixielandings]

I'm going to post my list (if I can fit them all on one post ) THEN read all of yours...

1. DOLE WHIP
2. walking the "secret" path b/t Tomorrowland and Toon Town
3. Stroll around our Resort...or anywhere at WDW - it's all so pretty
4. Glass of wine in France
5. Explore the little shops - the Christmas shop in LS, the Toy shop in UK...OK, and the big ones too - Mouse Gear, Mitsukoshi and the huge shop in China
6. Can't leave out Stacy and Resort TV!!
7. Using any transportation other than the bus whenever possible - boats, ferries, even walking, and of course, the MONORAIL

My whole vacation usually ends up being a collection of "little" memories that stay with me forever...ah, I love this place...

[dixielandings]

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

YES, fellow Tennessean! Totally agree - I do both of these!

[Disney Hungarian]

I always make time to enjoy a piece of coffee crumb cake and a cup of coffee from the main street bakery and just sit and people watch.

Setting the wake-up call our first night, being wished "magical dreams," and getting that call from Mickey the next morning, realizing we're in Disney World and have our whole trip ahead of us!!

[Brooklynos]

1. DH has to have his Lemoncello in Italy.
2. Stocking up on candy in Japan.
3. Riding the TTA just the two of us in one car.
4. Trying to beat my DH on Buzz and TSM.
5. Taking a picture of ourselves as "honorary bugs".
6. Eating at Le Cellier while having a cocktail.
7. Taking time to notice the things that are more subtle but equally as interesting.


I'm taking notes from everyone else too! Can't wait to try it all out!!!!

[DisneyMelissa]

Midnight swim after a long day at the parks.
Finding bunnies at Epcot and the resorts.

And the best...watching my kids' faces light up on Main Street the first time they see the castle.

[slegrant]

Here are some of our favorites:

Walking the trail between Fort Wilderness and the Wilderness Lodge

Riding the boat from Fort Wilderness to the Contemporary, Wilderness Lodge or Magic Kingdom

Riding every color monorail during our trip

Exploring all the resorts

watching the electrical water pageant & Fireworks from the beach at Fort Wilderness

Goofy's candy shop at Downtown Disney for make your own treats

These are just a few, the list could go much longer

[BWayGrl]

1. Riding the TTA alone
2. Having my picture taken in front of the giant gear at CoP every trip (it displays the current year, so it's neat to go back and look at all the photos of myself growing up each year)
3. Eating outside at Electric Umbrella and watching the fountain
4. Club Cool (will always be Ice Station Cool to me ) - I always have to taste the soda from Italy even though I think it's awful!
5. Waiting for the bus at MK to go back to our hotel at the end of the night and seeing the Water Pageant go by
6. Watching my mom eat a turkey leg every trip!

[SandmanGStefani24]

- I always have to taste the soda from Italy even though I think it's awful!

LOL...it's funny how many of us do that! I do it because I always reason with myself that I should do it because it's right there. And it really wasn't that bad, was it??


Yes...yes it was!

[dumbodoughboy]

Wow, you got me thinking...

The boat ride from POFQ to DD, relaxing and a nice break from the buses.

Beignets at POFQ

Riding the TTA

Sharing cheddar cheese soup at Le Cellier and dipping those amazing breadsticks in the bowl
