WHAT TO BE SURE TO SEE THIS YEAR

New Pirates - It kept the old flavor, but added a Depp!

Soarin' - Get there when there are shorter lines and it is well worth the experience. Try to get first car - it goes up the highest.

Test Track - No changes, but still the fastest ride in the park.

Lights - Motion - Action - There are no bad seats. If they are not issuing fast passes, you can get there late and still get in. To avoid the rush out at the end, sit toward the far right side and at the end of the row. You can anticipate the end, get up to go, and catch the finish by the bottom fence on the way out. And you will not get caught up in the massive exit.

All the fireworks, and related light shows (also the parades)

The Not So Scary Halloween Nights are really fun!

Try one of the water parks, even for a half a day. Nice way to relax, or you can enjoy the water park rides.

Character breakfasts are always fun - more so if young kids are along - and the Castle Princess lunch is really cute.

Of course, there are all the coasters! (Should mention that bringing water with you is wise - my daughter got stuck on the top of Everest in the heat - it takes about 45 minutes to get back to earth after a walk down the inner stairwells - about 170 feet of them).

I still like the "old faithful" Carousel of Progress, the silly "Bears," and the Jungle Cruise (only at night and hopefully with a funny host).

La Nouba was also well worth the money.

Again, I like everything at WDW, but those previously listed are among our (my) favorites.

If not, a safari ride in animal kingdom might be your best alternative.
