The best up front ride is the one from MK to EPCOT. It is the longest and really cool when you make that circle in EPCOT. The resort loop is just too short to make it worth waiting for, in my opinion.

You are right about having to know the "trick". Do the monorail pilots still pass out "driver licenses" to the kids? I have heard about them.

I can't remember the last time we rode up front. One maybe two years ago. At that time, yes they were giving them out. Adults and kids got them. I was supprised, never got one before, and we have ridden sevral times. My wife just said my son had gotten one, but I don't remember that.

We all got them the last time we rode up front, but that was probably in late 2003, didn't try that this trip.

We have a few, one is eating at Liberty Tree Tavern..., one also involves Main Street and skipping.... At 42 yoa it may not be pretty but the kids still get a kick out it, and if my late father did it into his 60's, then I will too... Actually, I find the WDW is full of wonderful memories for me, and I want my children to have as many happy ones as I do.

We always stop at Ice Station Cool (Coca-cola's International Tasting Station) to sample different soft drinks from around the world. :)

My wife and I have a tradition to always visit the Rose Garden in Magic Kingdom, and or kiss everytime we pass by it.


We got engaged there so its always a magical spot for us.

When I was little it was always a tradition, no matter where we stayed (usually off property) that we would come back to see the fireworks. I haven't been to WDW in quite a few years, over a decade. But that is something that I still make a point of doing when I go to DL. I am hoping to get back to DL in 2009 for my honeymoon, you can bet we are going to see the fireworks.

Always a picture with the Castle in the background and candy apples from the main street confectionary. We have gone on a Wishes cruise the past 2 visits that may be our new tradition

We don't have any real traditions except stopping and buying fudge before we leave the Magic Kingdom. It is a must do... or my wife will kill me.
