Even if we're staying at DLH I have to walk through the main gates. Getting plopped into Tomorrowland by monorail doesn't give me chills the way walking Main street and looking up at the castle does. My DH and I always let my 8 year old DD pick the rides at first. I just go around and collect fast passes all day. After dark we start hitting all the fastpass rides. I really like to hit all the main rides... Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Indy, splash mountain,BTMR, Star tours, Buzz, but the rides that give me the disney chill would have to be It's a small world, Peter pan & Haunted Mansion (Jack Skellington style) As far as food goes the only must have for me is a beer in DCA at Karl Strauss Biergarten. <---yes beer is a food!!

The day isn't right if I'm not in that vicinity first thing after my hi to Walt. I must always get a caramel apple. No fancy schmancy apple...just green with caramel all over it. They are best when the nice lady in the candy shop has just made them. They are even better the next day for breakfast. I must always go into the Market House to see what new kitchen gadgets are available. I believe this is also the only place that you can refill your coffee for free. Just show them your receipt from earlier in the day. So it's a win-win. Shopping and coffee. Oh yeah. In DCA, I must always get my free tortilla and speck of sourdough bread. Tower of Terror is also always a must.
