What are some 'must dos' in Disney World???

FH and I are planning a 4 night trip down to Disney World in March. Neither of us have been there since we were like 5 years old, so we are so excited. What are some things that we have to do? We are looking for more adult oriented stuff, although we might check out the Disney theme park one day. Any suggestions on things to do, where to eat, etc???

Thanks girls!!!

Check out Downtown Disney for places to eat. Definitely go to the Animal Kingdom and Epcot. It's worth it!

I loved Epcot when I went there just because of all the different ethic places there are to eat. It's very cultural.

Eat on top of the contemporary hotel. There is an amazing view of Cinderella's castle and if you make a reservation at the right time, you can see the fireworks from the roof top! I think the restuarant if the California Grill?

Drink around the world in Epcot!!

So much fun.. go to the countries start on one side and have a drink in each country and you check them all out. The best is to go in the afternoon to start and finish just as the fireworks so is about to begin.

have fun!

I think the best thing about Disney is that you're able to be a kid again! Enjoy and do everything! It's amazing.

Lunch or Dinner at Cantina de San Angel

At Disney Hollywood Studios (MGM in our day):

OHHH I LOVE DISNEY WORLD I'M SOOOOOOOOOO JEALOUS!!!!!!

I agree with everyone else -- definitely do the 'big kid' rides they are so much fun!!! At MK do the 3 mountains ... Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain. The fish and chips place at the end of Main St. is sooo good! At Animal Kingdom do Kilamanjaro Safari, Expedition Everest, Dinosaur, and Kali River Rapids (if the line's not too long ... if it is, don't wait! the ride is like 30 seconds long and it's not THAT great). At MGM (it's not called that anymore) do Tower of Terror and Rock'n roller coaster (I looooooooooooveee this ride!) DON'T do the movie ride, it's terrible! If you're looking for a good meal for dinner then go to Brown Derby it's awesome! DEFINITELY drink around the world at Epcot! it's so much fun and there are so many good drinks, bars,etc. The margaritas in Mexico are to die for! We were soo drunk when we did it but it was so fun! Definitely ride the rides BEFORE you start drinking though -- do Test Track, Soarin', Mission Space.

Animal Kingdom and MGM you could prob split the day in half and do them both in 1 day. Magic Kingdom and Epcot you definitely need a whole day for!

I definitly agree. It is called the California Grill. My FH is a VERY picky eater (he only likes McDonalds). We went for our 5th dating anniversary and we both loved it. Great food, though it doesn't have a very Disney vibe. It's more adult/upscale.

get to animal kingdom and do the safari ride first. the animals hide late morning/early afternoon when the sun is hot. get the ice cream cookie sandwich at the bakery on main street. definitely go around the world in epcot. otherwise, just enjoy the parks. they are a lot of fun. where are you staying?
