“Haven’t you already done everything?” was a question posed
by some well meaning non-Disney folks when they heard we were returning to the
most magical place on earth yet again.
Our reply, “No!” Alas, the expansive
Walt Disney World Resort still has some parts our family has yet to see and experience. But, with each trip comes an opportunity to
try something new in combination with tried and true favorites. Here is our list of new experiences we are
looking forward to for our next trip to Walt Disney World:
Photopass +. As long time fans of Disney’s Photopass
service, we are now venturing into a new offering which is Photopass +. The “+” part includes dining photos at select
locations and ride photos for those rides offering photos, such as Splash
Mountain. We pre-paid for Photopass +
through our travel agent and a voucher came with our documents. The plan is to exchange the voucher for the
lanyard, etc. at EPCOT’s Photopass store.
Spirit of Aloha
Dinner at the Poly. Booked for our anniversary,
this luau themed dinner show rounds out our dinner show experiences at Walt
Disney World. After this, we will be
able to declare a favorite. This is a
pay-in-advance experience and our tickets are waiting to be picked up at our
resort.
Reserved viewing for
Wishes. This AAA Member benefit had
eluded us for our last 2 trips. I am
curious to see how this works. Expect a
full report upon our return. And, oh, I
am also looking forward to Wishes. Our
family certainly enjoyed our local 4th of July fireworks display,
but after you’ve experienced Disney fireworks, nothing quite compares. We’ve been spoiled to say the least.
Nine Dragons at the China Pavilion
in EPCOT. Slowly we are ticking off
nations around World Showcase Lagoon as we attempt to eat around the
world. It will have taken us 11 trips to
make it to China. The husband is really looking forward to this
ADR. We will be eating across Asia this day as lunch is at Nine Dragons and dinner at
Teppan Edo. It will be a great day!
The Plaza Restaurant. Our new dining experiences theme continues
with a trip to The Plaza Restaurant in Magic Kingdom. Looking forward to the experience and of
course, writing a post. Oh, what we do
for our readers!
Be Our Guest. Eating at this new restaurant in the Magic Kingdom was the boy's request as soon as he knew we were going to Walt Disney World. When we attempted to get an ADR for dinner, it was at 8:30 pm, not ideal for our family. We held onto the reservation anyway. Then, when our travel agent called to check on something else for us, she double checked Be Our Guest and sure enough, a 5:30 ADR had opened up. We will be dining her on our last evening in the parks.

Rainforest Café. While technically not new, as we have
previously dined at a Rainforest Café, it was not on Disney property. Our day at Animal Kingdom will be topped off
by a visit to Rainforest Café. The
husband has already checked out the menu on-line.
Blizzard Beach. Our family loves swimming pools and water
parks. We are looking forward to
spending some time at both Blizzard
Beach and Typhoon
Lagoon. We’ve made two previous trips to
Typhoon Lagoon, but this year, the boy is going on Crushin’ Gusher!
Disney Quest. This 5 story indoor arcade at Downtown Disney’s
West Side has been researched the most for our
upcoming trip. The boy has already
figured out there is the Fix It Felix game from Wreck-It Ralph. I’m betting
we lose track of time. But not so much
that we miss our ADR at Rose & Crown for some Illuminations viewing.
Wow, that is a long list of new things. Combine it with all the other items on our
agenda and no wonder we haven’t seen it all or done it all, even after so many
trips. Oh, well, we’ll just have to go
back!
