Here's Mine. They Mentioned, Tower of Terror, Philharmagic, Expedition Everest, Kilamanjaro Safaris, Illuminations, the Shops of World Showcase, Specifically Norway, The Hoop de doo revue, the whispering canyon restaurant, The Great Movie Ride, The Murals of Cinderella Castle, Fantasmic, Spaceship Earth, The American Adventure, Test Track, Sci-Fi Dine in theater restaurant. So Without repeats here are MY top dos at the World. Ride- Dinosaur- I know I know, not exactly blowing the technological chart off the map, but I just love this attraction. I think the moment where you go down that slight dip is absolutely terrifying and it gets me every time. Not to mention, I though the waiting area for this attraction was genius. Show- In reality, I'd say Fantasmic, But as they mentioned it, I'm not sure what to say. I don't get down to the World too often, and I have yet to see many of the live performances. The only other two shows I've really seen were the Disney Dreams come True parade, and Wishes. I really liked both of them, I listen to the soundtrack of Wishes constantly, But I think that was the best part, the soundtrack, the fireworks themselves didn't wow me into submission. Another vote for the soundtrack of the Disney Dreams Come True Parade, I love the song, and the parade is good and all, but my socks were not knocked off. Shopping- I confess that I have not done oodles of shopping down at the world either. I definitely spent a lot of time in the Emporium at MK, I wandered through all the shops in the UK pavilion at Epcot, as well as Mexico, I liked the Tower Shops and Mickey's of Hollywood at MGM...er...DHS. And it's hard to pin down a restaurant at DAK. All the shops there are very unique. But If you're hanging out there I would stroll through the Mombasa Marketplace, The Beastly Bazaar, and the shops of Discovery Island. Dining- I really love the Flying Fish at the Boardwalk. and truth be told, I've never had fish there. the Last Time i went I had a Fillet, and it was quite wonderful, the sauce was stupendous. It is very much gourmet however, making it quite pricey. Small Gems- I really had to think about this one because honestly, there's more then you could ever cover in one trip down to the World. They Mentioned Club Cool at Epcot. (Try the Beverly, trust me, you'll love it) which I agree with, Whenever I'm at Epcot I've visited that place. But for my pick, honestly I'm having trouble deciding. One of them would be the Oaxacan wooden animal carvings in the Mexico Pavillion. We've bought some there, and have several more around our house. They are very intricately designed, and are quite a gem. Also I'd almost like the say the Village of Harambe, and the Kingdom of Anandapur. The Settings for Asia and Africa are so full of rich detail over at DAK that I take a memory card worth of film whenever I'm there and I always discover new things. It's very interesting to uncover the written history of these two locales, and I found them to be one of the most enjoyable part of our most recent trip. I really only have one don't. The Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management. This attraction already fell into the category of were-they-high-when-they-thought-this-up and it's now even worse. If you haven't been to the world in a while, it's now hosted by Zazu and Iago, an they are both terribly annoying, and sing songs that make you want to shoot every single member of the human race when you are done for fear of the stupidity spreading. Wow.

Small Gems: Catching an animal check-up at Planet Watch in DAK Also, I'd like to add one last category: "How to have a magical moment at WDW" My (most recent) magical moment: Riding Big Thunder during the fireworks show at MK. The best part is while you're climbing up a hill and watching the shells that become gigantic "waterfalls" of golden sparks burst overhead. You just have to be lucky enough to have it happen to you to understand.
