Had a great time but will probably not return:
Florida (over 30 "obligation" trips)
Mexico
Most of Wisconsin
Ozarks
Amsterdam
England
Most western USA ski towns
Hope I can get back to:
Sedona & Northern Arizona (Flagstaff too)
New York City
San Francisco (just with girl friends or grandchildren- he was a crab because you don't "drive" there)
Italy (again and again)
Brussels (had a great stay there)
Michigan - especially the Silver Lake dunes area- also Northern Pennisula

Would definately return to:
New York
Charleston
Philadelphia
Las Vegas
Chicago
Salt Lake City
Galveston (believe it or not!)
Maui
Grand Canyon
Once was definately enough:
New Orleans
Dallas (once was too much)
Ozarks
Baltimore
It'd be a pretty boring place if we all had the same list, wouldn't it?

Many of the above are on my lists as well. But, since it hasn't been mentioned, I'd say Niagara Falls is spectacular. My husband had been bugging me to go for years. So, I planned a trip to Toronto, thinking we'd take a quick look on the way back. I had assumed from what I'd read and heard that the area was tacky and honky-tonk and probably the ultimate in "touristy". No so, at least on the Canadian side. The Canadian Parks Commission has done a fabulous job of keeping the area near the Falls tasteful, beautiful, reasonably priced, and full of gorgeous landscaping. The Falls "attractions" are fun, interesting, and well worth the price of admission. You have to go out of your way up Clifton Hill to find the "touristy" stuff and attractions. And, the Falls are, well, spectacular! I loved the Falls so much, we went back the next year for a week, although we stayed in Niagara-on-the-Lake and saw four Shaw Festival presentations, taking daily drives along the parkway and to the Falls. The southern end of the Niagara Parkway is also a gorgeous drive. This Fall, we took a "side trip" to the Falls on our road trip from New Hampshire to the Catskills to Montreal. Way out of the way, but we loved seeing the Falls once again.

Fun and interesting thread, GOL. I'm enjoying how one person's "never again" is another person's "would return anytime." Differing opinions are good! Here's my list:
Visited and definitely return:
1. San Francisco (would take numerous visits to take in all it has to offer)
2. Chicago (same as above)
3. Colorado Springs/Pike's Peak (the beauty of the area alone is reason enough)
4. Monterey/Carmel
Don't need to return even though it was a good time:
1. Kennedy Space Center
2. Michigan's U.P.
3. Wisconsin Dells ("good time is even pushing it - biggest waste of a weekend and $300.00 ever!)

Lleana - of the 33 posts above only 6 said they wouldn't go back to Disney.
3 stated that WDW was one of their favorite places that they would go back to over and over - Sorry - Not to convincing of statistics for you negative remark.
Anyway - terrific places to revisit:
Bora Bora
Canadian Rockies
San Juan Islands
Boston
Austrian Alps
San Francisco
Montana
Probably won't go back:
Puerto Vallarta
Cancun
Las Vegas
Any Club Med

Dave,
OK,OK,OK - I have to admit that WDW is not my favorite place either - Been there 6 times. 5 of those times have been work-related for training or conventions. With THOSE kinds of Statistics I can't honestly say I won't go back - I may have too.
I just really didn't like the way the previous poster referred to parents and "breeding". I just got my goat as low- class and insulting. Why do a very few people - (I have a feeling it really is only one person) have to make such ugly and unnecessary statements? Rhetorical question - I know there is no answer.

To MMS- Make that 8 who would not go back to WDW. Who died and made you the Fodor's police? And is it really necessary to post sarcastic, nasty replies to everyone? If you don't like the tone here go post somewhere else, or better yet do something productive instead of posting garbage here all day!
