What is a Tradition for you at Disney?

My families traditions are starting at MK riding the train to frontierland and then riding splash mountain.
We always end our last full day at MK watching the fireworks before taking the boat back to the carpark trams.
My own tradition is to always buy a shot glass from all of the parks.

Our only tradition so far is to ride the Tomorrowland Transportation Authority for our last ride before we leave the MK on our last day. We always leave with such sad faces.

A cool tradition my family and I have is to honk the horn or yell out we're here as we drive under the Walt Disney World entrance arch.

Last full day we spend at MK watch wishes, then its full steam to Epcot to take in illuminations as well.

We have only missed it once, Fireworks had already begun so we did soarin instead.

We always...

Visit the Magic Kingdom first and last (just before we leave...we always try to get the latest direct flight out so we can spend the morning at MK)
Eat as many Mickey Mouse bars as possible
Eat a meal at Chefs de France
Ride Big Thunder 3 times in a row around midnight
Ride HM AT midnight (that can be tricky)
Stroll down Main Street at night and just take in all the lights

Oh I am sure there are more little "traditions" that I have actually forgotten. Most of all, we make sure we take in and do and see as much as we can. I guess that is one thing we have always done....get up early to get to one of the parks when it opens and stay until it closes.

Shopping for really cool pins.
Eating lots of popcorn.

We always have to go to the Hungry Bear Restraunt for lunch. My kids think it's great that I used to be a cast member there ( mostly H.B. sometimes Tom Sawyer Island) We always ride the Matterhorn 4xs, each side during the day and each side at night and Big Thunder 2xs day and night.

We for a week in March ( spring break ) and celebrate St Patty's day

We also have a big family dinner at Redd Rockett's

First full day is spent at the MK, and the first attraction I hit is Splash Mountain, followed by Big Thunder Mountain (to dry off).

Last full day is at the MK, and the final ride I hit is the TTA.

Starting in the beginning of the month, my mom and I have been trying to eat at the Cafe Orleans as much as we can. So far I've been there about four times and I really love it there. Other than that, our "traditions" change often.

On departure day, we always like to head into Magic Kingdom for a final goodbye. It doesn't matter if we don't make it onto any rides, we just try to soak up as much magic as possible to last us until the next trip.

One of the things I love to do is to ride the Haunted Mansion at least 5 times. A tradition I started this time and I plan to continue is riding the Haunted Mansion at midnight, something about that is just incredibly cool and creepy.

I guess it has become a tradition now, but i and my brother seem to always go to the Dakery at Disneyland and try to Seasonal Muffins. They are great and I think I have had one every trip since 05'. I had a Apple Cinnamon Muffin this last time, but the best one yet was a Cranberry Muffin back in Dec. '07. And I guess another tradition is going to Carnation Cafe for lunch and having a Turkey sandwich, god I love those things.

Hmm, my traditions seem to revolve around food. Meh, I have a high metabolism so whatever.

Riding Pan as the last ride before we go home. It started when E was 5 and Pan was the first ride she liked, and she only liked it on the last day. Since then, it's become a family tradition to end with it.
