What are the “Don’t miss” activities at Disney World?

There are so many things to do and see at Disney World.  It is really difficult to come up with a list, because there are so many things to “not miss.”  Since everyone has their own separate list of “don’t miss,” I decided to ask my family what activities they like best.  Below are our individual list from Tory , Michell, Tanner (8 years old), Morgan (6 years old), and Mason (2 years old).

As you can see by the list created by my family, there are many things to do at Disney and each person has their own favorite. You may have also noticed evidence in our Epcot list that helps explain why that park is not our favorite.  One also cannot miss for our family is ice cream at Ghirardelli in Disney Springs.   We have also been looking forward to the “Kitchen Sink” at Beaches and Cream, but we have never been able to get a reservation there.

Please feel free to add your comments below to let us all know which are your “cannot miss” activities, shows, and others when you are at Disney World.
