Thanks all for your suggestions, the list is now coming together.. I will continue to update post 1 so we have a quick ref of all the theme park related things to do.

Thanks again.

Get sprinkled with fairy dust in the shop next to the castle.
Go and see the gingerbread house at gf being built early November .
Hire a boat on either lake or sea racers.
Take the boat to one of the monorail resorts much nicer way to travel or the boat across Epcot rather than walk round or the boat between Hs and Epcot.
Go watch the electric water pagent in seven seas .

Note all these are free for everyone onsite or offsite . anyone can also hire a boat at the marinas, just need Id to prove age .

I'm going to do Ratatouille Hide and Squeak at Epcot this year. It's available during Food and Wine and sounds fun!

Sorry that bit wasn’t clear . No boat hire is a separate fee ( like fishing ) about $45 per boat for half hour but anyone can do it . You don’t need to be onsite

I have a photo of it and it always takes me back to the magic of our very 1st trip. Sometimes its just the simple things that mean the most.

I've seen Jim the pianist at every visit I've made to WDW since 1990. My grandparents used to visit twice a year and would always make sure that they listened to him playing and would take photos of him.

I remember on my last visit he was playing some Disney tune when a girl walked by with a happy birthday badge on. Seamlessly he switched key and tune and started playing happy birthday. I have no idea who he managed to roll one song into another as he did but it was totally amazing.

Loads of great ideas - thanks

My son really enjoyed the pirates cruise from the Grand Floridian. The kids go on a treasure hunt around the lagoon and us parents get a couple of hours to look around the hotel and have a bite to eat in peace. Think it cost approx $30 but they had a great time and got lots of treasure and a Mickey hat included.

I scanned the thread and think I found a few missed items.

We never seem to get to play Mini Golf at either of the courses on WDW property. There are lots of cuisine and wine experiences available too.
