There are only a few of those that I have done and most of those are in the MK and were there my first visit in 1975. My family and I did everything, my stepdad said "we weren't leaving with tickets"!! I have done a lot of the pavilion movies in the World Showcase, if only because they're something to do when it's really hot!

[Mental Whiplash Alert] What is wrong with me today? All afternoon I've been clicking on "Post Reply" when I meant to click on "Return to last forum" and now I just did the opposite!!!

Anyhoo...

Jacca, your description of Balloo seeing the giraffes makes me want to go there EVEN MORE now.

I haven't done all of the WS films but being a travel nut I think I would love them. Remember, I'm the girl who watches documentaries on Netflix.

The only time I stayed there was on our first visit their as a young married couple in 1978. It was quite an adventure then - and very "modern". We have not stayed there since, although we have been to WDW probably 20 times or more. There are just so many more interesting resort hotels now, that we always choose something other than the Contemporary. The advantage is proximity to MK via monorail, which isn't a big deal to us.
Hope you get there sometime though - especially if you get in the tower - and facing MK.

Done Stitch's Great Escape (did it back when it was Alien (etc) though)
Eaten at Crystal Palace (cancelled an ADR this last trip...got to busy to make it there)
Seen O Canada
Seen Reflections of China

I'm sure there's more I am forgetting. I'm hoping that we'll get to cross most of these off on our next trip. Can't promise that for Stitch though. ;)

Out of all your list, The Flights Of Wonder is worth seeing. And I agree with Stitch's Great Escape. Alien Encounters was much better

I must say, I too have never seen Flights of Wonder. I guess it just never has struck my interest.

Nor have I eaten at Chef Mickey's, Cinderella's Royal Table, or 'Ohana, so I guess I need to see what all the freaking hype these guests cause is about. :D

I always enjoy getting hit on the head with the bird wings, which has happened several times. They really swoop VERY low over the crowd. I like it.
Hoping to go back to the Magic soon.

The birds' wings hitting me would be neat. But the birds' other.... stuff..... that wouldn't be so fun. :? :shock: :o

'Ohana really is a lot of fun. Being a CM...maybe you can get a table near a window at dinner...so you can get a better view of Wishes!

I went with some buddies of mine when we were there for the WDW Half Marathon...and we definitely took advantage of all-you-can-eat. ;)
