Haunted Mansion is very impressive, it really exceeded my expectations. 7DMT! Dole whips are yummy. Festival of Fantasy is awesome. Character meet & greets are so much fun!

Haunted Mansion. Always one of my first stops, and always my last stop on the way out. Toooo good!

)

I can't list everything either - because it's EVERYTHING, I look forward to being able to go back and doing everything at least once.
But something I ALWAYS did without fail, every day I was in the park.... Take a photo of the castle. I do the same when in Paris at least once a day!
It may sound silly but I have looked back over my numerous castle pics and each one is different, the colors and the sky can really change, I rarely change from the classic 'view from Main Street' but also I can see different details each time.
I can't even pick a specific ride. I would loved to have done the Train, but it was not working when I went.
Fri, 01/09/2015 - 14:45
For me....
A Dole Whip Float
Peter Pan
All Three Mountains (Space, Big Thunder, Splash)
A train ride

For food, Casey's corn dog nuggets and Sleepy Hollow's chicken waffle sandwiches.
Among attractions, Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Hall of Presidents, Small World, Peter Pan's Flight, Monsters Inc., and the Electric Parade. I think Under the Sea might be added to the list, I've only done it a couple of times but I like it. There are many other attractions that I try to experience each trip, but those are the headliners.

We have several favourites in the MK, but the attractions that we partake in EVERY time we are there are: the Haunted Mansion and the People Mover.

Definitely on of my top three at MK , but I can't seem to get my 10 year and 7 year old to get on the ride with me these days.. 
They hate the sudden drop at the end of the ride. 
My DW doesn't care for that either. I guess I'll have to go solo next time there. I've missed it the last two visits
