The podcast team hasn't done everything in WDW!?! - The DIS Discussion Forums

DSNY4ever · 05-10-2013, 03:58 PM

Does anyone else think it's funny when the podcast team says things they have never done in WDW? I was just thinking bout when Pete mentioned that he has never seen Flights of Wonder (not that it's a hugely popular show). I have only been 4 times, but I can't think of anything that we have never done (other than new stuff that opens between trips). We do everything. But I always think in my head that the podcast team has done EVERYTHING at least once and then I am surprised when they mention they have never done something.

How many times have you been and what have you still never seen/done?

You've done everything in four trips? Wow!

Well we had a 14 day honeymoon trip, so that helped

This next trip is the first for our son, so this will be the first time we will have to pick and choose and skip over stuff. I have a feeling a 2 year old won't be willing to sit through the Hall of Presidents quietly and enjoy the air conditioning

We haven't done everything outside the parks that costs extra like La Nouba or the Richard Petty Driving experience. But I can't think of anything inside the parks we've ever skipped!

I don't know how many times I've been.... maybe 20? About to leave on my 6th trip as an adult, and I feel like I've done maybe half of the things that the parks offer.

Really? I am starting to think my husband and I are weird! Do you skip things because they don't interest you or is it because you don't have time? We have done everything once, but some things I won't do again. Example- Did Dinoland once and now we avoid that area completely.

I think maybe you are talking about just attractions/rides. I also say there are many things I haven't done, but I include everything in that, parks, resorts, ect...like, I've never been to either of the waterparks or I have yet to get over to Animal Kingdom Lodge. As many times as I've gone, I haven't been gone into Innoventions at Epcot, that kind of thing.

Yes, I mean things inside the parks...we have sat through some boring innoventions stuff when it was hot! I think we've done so much because we (were) childless commandos who opened and closed the park every day. I am sure there are MANY others who are like this too. I am sad to say we are in the "family" group now and will be moving a lot slower, and for the first time ever...returning to the hotel to nap (but DS is well worth it)

I asked my husband what we have never done and he said "eat in every single restaurant" and I don't think that will ever happen! I would LOVE to hear from someone who has done that! ...Kevin?

I've been to WDW at least 50 times, and on my last trip in April I watched the movies in France and China for the first time. There's still a few things that I haven't seen or done. I try to always do a couple of new things on each trip.

Yeti77 · 05-13-2013, 03:01 PM

My wife and I have been nine times and have yet to ride Kali River Rapids or the Liberty Square Riverboat. We try to do something new upon each visit but just haven't worked those two into the rotation, I guess.

disneym2m · 05-13-2013, 08:48 PM

I haven't seen or done everything WDW has to offer and probably never will. My husband dislikes going to WDW so when I am to go I try to visit the rides and shows I have seen before and liked.

I have been four times and have only ridden "It's A Small World" once....

. But I do ride "The Haunted Mansion" each time I visit.

For my last trip, I decided to see the things I like and try a few new things. So that trip was riding the Riverboat (one day I will see Tom Sawyer Island...lol) and just walk and enjoy World Showcase at EPCOT. I have never actually walked through the World Showcase. I would just see it from the outside. So it was really cool to walk through and see all the cool things. One day (or trip) I will actually see the movies and such.

Thinking about it and I think WDW is designed this way. Because if you could see and do everything in one trip why would you ever visit again?? (I know, what a silly statement....

).

I don't make a point of wanting to do absolutely everything. For me, it's a vacation, so I move at my own pace and enjoy what I'm up to doing. After over 30 trips, I still haven't done it all, but have done some amazing things; I'm perfectly fine with that.

Pixie Princess · 05-14-2013, 06:58 AM

There are only two things we haven't done attractions-wise- Captain EO and ITBAB. ITBAB we will never do. Never. I was sufficiently freaked out by HISTA. I can't even fathom ITBAB. Captain EO, maybe we'll get to it eventually. Oh wait, just thought of a couple more...we haven't done the new M&G in Storybook Circus, and that Storm thing at Innoventions. Well I guess I know what is going on the list for trip 20.

I was just listen to that podcast too and I thought the same thing. They are always talking about 'running over to Disney'. They have my dream job!!

I couldn't imagine a quest to do "everything" at WDW. Love the parks but there are just some things that don't interest me at all.
