What is a Tradition for you at Disney?

Oh gosh, I can think of alot, but since we always go with the same group our traditions are shared.

Collect a fresh set of maps
Get at least one Mickey head sticker
Make sure I ride Journey at least twice
Get sushi rice and gummy treats in Japan
One meal at the Crystal Palace
One meal at the Land

Liberty Tree used to be a tradition, but since it is not character dining, it is off the list

Go through Fantasyland and smile because we don't have any kids with us anymore
Go through Epcot til our feet start to hurt and we have succeeded at drinking or eating something from every country.
Eat at Rose and Crown and watch Illuminations from there
Eat at Le Cellier (Cheddar Cheese soup always first thing we order)
Use the boats, train, bus, monorail and go somewhere unplanned once each day

We have several and here are a couple of our favorites:

-- Inverse Dinner. (We only allow ourselves to do this at Downtown Disney.) Go the Ghirardelli's and have all the ice cream we can handle, THEN if we have room in our bellies, go have a small dinner.
-- Go to Epcot on arrival day. Stay to end. Shop at MouseGear's. Close park. (We used to go to the Rainforest Cafe on arrival day, then Animal Kingdom, but R.C. frightened our little girl so we changed. Now that she'll be six, we may resume that on our next trip.)
-- Schedule early character breakfast at Chrystal Palace (before park opens) on FIRST FULL DAY to Magic Kingdom.
-- Hit the Hoop de Doo Review.
-- Have an Apple Charlotte on Main Street, U.S.A.
-- See Fantasmic.
-- Go to Magic Kingdom then Epcot on last full day. Stay to the absolute end. Shop at MouseGear's.
-- Spend day at resort until Magic Express arrives.

(Is the vacation OVER ALREADY!)

We always stay at Dixie Landings/Port Orleans Riverside as it's like coming home. We always visit on our first four days each park in order of years they were opened (mk/71,ep/82,mgm/89,ak/98) and we all have our jobs when we get to wdw - my jobs include rushing to the back of the parks to get the fastpass's we want, waking my folks when they fall asleep in pretty much any show in the dark (bless them) and getting cutlery, etc when we eat while my mom gets a table and my dad buys the food (I think my dad lost that one)

But we all love it and keep going back - it's only 23 days to our next wdw vacation - Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!

Fighting back the lump in my throat while watching the American Adventure
Stuffing ourselves at Mama Melrose's in DHS

Stuffing ourselves at Chef Mickey's in the Contemporary (there are a lot of eating-related traditions...it's a wonder I'm not the size of a house!!)
Trying to make my grandma sick on the Teacups
Riding Big Thunder over and over late at night, before the park closes

Wish I could go with you on the teacups. My companions always make me sit by myself, because i make them sick!

Are you one of those people who spins and spins? Then sorry I'm not the one. My son on the other hand would love it.
