| Things to Do at Disney World Nov 4th 2011, 11:34 As the Theme Parks Guide for About.com, you'd expect that I'd have Disney World tips to share. And you'd be right. If you're making a pilgrimage to Florida, I've got ten things to do at Disney World that I just wouldn't want you to miss. And I'm not just talking about the best rides (although rides and attractions figure heavily on the top-10 Disney countdown). Disney World is a massive vacation resort with many hotels, an astonishing number of restaurants, shopping and entertainment districts, and a wealth of other features to explore. There's so much to see and do, it would be easy to dole out way more than ten Disney World tips. Among the intriguing options that didn't make the list, for example, are the mesmerizing Cirque du Soleil show, "La Nouba," Kilimanjaro Safaris at Disney's Animal Kingdom, and the Battle for Buccaneer Gold attraction at the "virtual theme park," DisneyQuest (located in Downtown Disney). Here is what did make the list of Best Things to Do at Disney World: - Dine Out at a Fancy Restaurant--at Least Once
Many Disney World visitors chow down on the same nondescript fast food typically found at traditional amusement parks. And that's a shame. They are missing out on some extraordinary restaurants at the Florida resort and an opportunity to make their vacations more memorable. - Try Some Great Casual Restaurants
Of course, not every meal during your Disney World visit will be at a high-end table-service restaurant. You'd go broke and be too jumbo to enjoy Dumbo. But that doesn't mean that you'll have to subject yourself to a steady diet of burgers and fries. There are are some wonderful buffets and counter-service restaurants throughout the resort, and, lucky for you, I've compiled a rundown of the Top 10 Best Walt Disney World Casual Restaurants. - Yo Ho with Pirates of the Caribbean
Dead men may tell no tales, but Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean have entertained millions with their salty tales. A landmark achievement in theme park storytelling when it debuted at Disneyland in 1967, Pirates remains one of Disney's--and all of parkdom's--most beloved attractions. - Drop In on the Tower of Terror
The Tower of Terror is a modern-day classic Disney theme park attraction. Combining a thrilling freefall ride, dazzling effects, and an inspired and fiendishly clever storyline based on the seminal "The Twilight Zone" television series, Disney Imagineers have created a ride that, like a select few E-ticket attractions, is so much greater than the sum of its parts. - Head for the Mountains on Expedition Everest
As a roller coaster, Expedition Everest is just OK. And as a themed dark ride, the attraction would be just OK without the coaster elements. But the combination of the coaster, which is integral to the ride's story, and the attraction's lavish, immersive environment, creates another Disney E-ticket must-ride. - Glide Over to Soarin'
A captivating Disney E-ticket ride that incorporates technology in a new and exciting way, Soarin' is a charming and giddy adventure up, over, and through the sights of California. It will engage your senses and figuratively, if not damn near literally, send you soarin'. - Stay at One of the Disney Hotels
Being a guest at a Disney World hotel will have you right in the middle of all the magic. When you leave the theme parks, you'll return to your own little themed Disney world: your room. - Spring for Typhoon Lagoon
Both Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon are among the most spectacular, thrilling, and downright fun water parks anywhere on the planet. - Get Thrilled
Known more for its charm, whimsy, and cuddly characters than for white-knuckle, thrill rides, Disney World nonetheless offers some exciting thrills. Here are the best and most thrilling. - Seek Out the Best Rides and Shows
Here's a rundown of the the rest of the must-do Disney World attractions.
