Oh the Tiki Room is great fun! I'm sure you haven't been or you were in fact very young since I can't imagine you would forget that show!
Yeah, with the "new management" it is pretty cute.
Believe it or not, I've never ridden Dumbo! We've tried at some point on every one of the last 5 trips, but the lines were always just too long when we wanted to go.
"Why, Mousekedude!" you say, "Dumbo is a little kid's ride, why would you want to do that?"
The simple answer is "for nostalgic reasons." It's the ride my DW remembers with the most fondness from her childhood, and it's a classic. We want to ride it at least once as adults to recapture our youth for a fleeting moment.... you know.... cheesy stuff like that...

Oh, it's still fun as an adult. I like to go mostly because that was one of the rides I sort of remember from first going to WDW when I was 6. My Mom said I piloted Dumbo up and down, and up and down, over and over for the whole ride...she won't ride with me anymore ~ I don't know why

I've never been in Reflections of China or O' Canada. I think I went in the France movie when I was very young. I will change that this year!

You've gotta do Canada. It is the best circlevision show in a long time.
No one's gloomy or complaining while the flatware's entertaining.

I rode Dumbo for the first time last trip. My lack of riding was pretty much the same - the lines were always too long, but I got it during EMH with no line so I figured, why not? The view is rather nice from up there.

Art of Animation at the Studios...never seem to get around to it, but it sounds like a lot of fun!

I have never seen a parade at Animal Kingdom . . . just never seem to be there at the right time.
I've also never had a Dole Whip. It seems to have an almost cult-like following, so I will try one when I am there in August.

Just be careful...once you start with one dole whip, it is very hard to stop! Still remember my first dole whip, which was followed by another...and another...

Indeed . . . looks like I will have to try it then.
Are there different varities? Is there a difference between a Dole Whip and the Dole Whip Float?

There are different things you can get. I prefer the dole whip twist - half dole whip and half vanilla soft serve ice cream. Yummy!

We've never done Lights Motor Action, American Idol Experience, Playhouse Disney, and lots of the stuff in Innoventions.
I guess we just never had an interest in doing the first 3, but for Innoventions it seem like we'd just rather be riding rides or hanging in World Showcase.
And of course there are a whole bunch of restaurants that I've never tried & hotels I've never stayed in...but i'm working on those
