Random Open Poll: What would you do in WDW if you could?

[hkellick]

Feeling a little silly, and like I want to post but don't really have the time (I don't just now, maybe later)

If you had a week vacation in WDW, what would you do? How long would you spend where? Let's assume, for the moment, that money is not an issue, however time constraints and the constraints of your own body ARE. What would you do?

Just curious. :)

I'll probably respond with my own propensity when I can. :)

Er, what is WDW?

[hkellick]

*points at icon*
Walt Disney World :)

[janinedog]

You just made me cry inside. :(

[hkellick]

Hahahaha! :D
You'll need to train him, Janine! ;)

I would love to go there one day...I haven't been since I was 5 or so, I'd say. So unfortunately I can't help you with your entry because I don't remember what's there at all.

[hkellick]

What about Disneyland? Since you're over on that other coast over there. Probably expensive, but closer, I'd think...

[janinedog]

Yeah, that would work too! Though I don't know if it's any good; I've never been there.

[hkellick]

It's Disney. It's good. :) There are attractions that are at Disneyland (Henceforth DL) that are not at WDW, and vice versa, but alot of the oldest attractions are there, and I've heard it's a good time. :)

If you decide to go, I HIGHLY suggest you buy the Unofficial Guide to Disneyland first.

...Okay, next year we are doing the Dreamwidth annual product planning meeting at Disney World, dammit. *g*

[hkellick]

Oooo...

Will this be the sort of "product planning meeting" where not much actual work is done, but lots of fun is had? ;)

[synecdochic]

Yeah, by "product planning meeting" I mean "excuse to have a vacation", of course. ;)

(But, I mean, Mark and I live on opposite sides of the country from each other! Clearly that means that we need to have a face-to-face meeting at least once a year to plan Dreamwidth's future all in a bunch, right? And clearly it wouldn't be fair to hold it in one location or the other, because then only one of us would have to travel. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)

[hkellick]

Seems to me any excuse to get to Walt Disney World is a good excuse ;)

I'd probably take a suite at the Grand Floridian, spend my time doing spa, boating, and dining, and not actually go to any of the parks. Well, maybe Animal Kingdom, and the EPCOT nostalgia tour. I loved EPCOT when I was a kid.

[kareila]

I would plan to spend one full day in each of the four major parks, plus an extra day for Animal Kingdom (because I've never been there and I suspect the kids would like it best), and an extra day for Magic Kingdom (because it's the hardest to do in one day). Epcot can be done in one day if you avoid walking all the way around all the countries (I had to do that when I was little and hated it) - I tend to just hit Mexico & Norway, then turn back. MGM Studios (or whatever they call it now) can also easily be done in one day even allowing time to ride the Star Wars ride 10 times because I'm a giant dork - unless they've added some major expansions since the last time I was there.

On the seventh day, I would take the kids to Sea World. :P

[hkellick]

Oh! Oh! You haven't ridden Toy Story Mania!

That just opened next year and you, being the giant dork you are, would probably ride that one as much as you could as well. :)

I have to admit, I didn't fall in love with Epcot, so I'm pretty sure we could do it all in one day as well, unless we wanted to take the time to really take in the atmosphere more than we did last time. But as for rides I'd "need" to ride... I could skip pretty much everything in World Showcase except for the Grand Fiesta Tour.

I do agree with needing two full days to do Magic Kingdom right, ESPECIALLY with little kids who need to ride the ride with the longest wait time in all the world, Dumbo!

[phoenixsong]

Toy Story Mania is indeed made of awesome. Just, uh, make sure the kids won't get freaked out by the giant animatronic Mr. Potato Head that entertains you while you wait in line.
