Advice for a WDW visit

Croaker · Post by **Croaker** » Sep Fri 22, 2006 4:30 pm

This will be my 7th visit to WDW the last two visits were in 01 and 03. i'm exactly 2 weeks away from my trip. It's my wife and I, and our two daughters 11 & 12 (newlyweds don't try that trick its insane!) our youngest is Autistic so we get a special pass that allows us special seating for attractions and fast pass at anytime to all the rides. My kids are very athletic (we do an average 12 mile bike ride when we take them) and have no problems staying up late and on their feet the whole day. so after that bit of background here is my question to all.....I want to hear the top 5 things to see and the top 5 things that you would do last or avoid all together...please give some reasons as well. If you happen to know some hidden secrets or fun things you always are drawn too add them in!

Thanks!

How many days are you staying, If your staying more then 5 I dont think you'll need to be on your feet the whole day. The top 5, well its hard to say, You've been there before so its what you like. I love epcot and I find just walking around at dusk time taking in the atmosphere is quite enjoyable.

you say you're ok (or your kids are at least) standing/walking all day, but are they up to/capable to walk around in the heat/humidity? that will make the day seem very long and with the heat, you can get tired very quickly. just be prepared for that...

We have a sweet vacation schedule this time....we are arriving Friday the 6th at 1p.m. staying 7 nights at the Old Key West Resort and leaving the 13th at 3p.m. I do realize that i have been here alot but what i like seeing is what others find a "do not miss" like spaulo would tell me not to miss the Jungle Cruise and i must say i'm now tempted to check it out since the last time i rode on it was in 1975. i was 6. i appreciate the weather info as well as the other tips...eat at boma huh...hmm now i have something to look into. c-square, i agree with the epcot stroll. we are going to also take in both water parks this trip.

keep the fav's coming!

Ok, I'm not sure how to link to this for you, but there is a Don't Miss topic somewhere in the Disney World thread where a lot of people said their top one (or sometimes a whole list!) thing not to miss. A top five list? I'm working on it!

Here's the list Esmeralda was talking about. It's a bit dated, but useful.

Thanks Lion!

Ok, here's my list. In no particular order, here are the five things that I wouldn't miss.

1. El Rio Del Tiempo, Mexico, Epcot
2. Maharajah Jungle Trek in Asia, AK
3. Acrobat Street Shows in Harambe Village, AK
4. ABC Commisary (get the Cuban sandwich with platain chips and sit outside), in MGM
5. Pinocchio Village Haus (sit where you can see It's a Small World), in Fantasyland
