My husband and I are heading to WDW for a long weekend. Any suggestions for things that we should see, do or places to eat? We are 30 and looking to have some good food and good fun! We don't have much time to spend there (3 full days), so we are deciding what is a must-do and what we can skip. Thanks!!

It's been a few years, but visiting as 30 -somethings, my husband and I most enjoyed Epcot,with dinner at one of the Ethnic restaurants there. Mexican and Marrakech sp? looked the most romantic, though we didn't end up there {son with us}.

Pleasure Island at night is adult-oriented and a blast!

Love water, so the water parks were also a highlight.

We love the Flying Fish restaurant which is on the Boardwalk. Boardwalk area is fun in the evenings. You don't say what type of attractions you enjoy. I love the Rock N Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror in Disney Studios (used to be called MGM). Also see Illuminations which is a great show at the studios at night. I love the fireworks at Magic Kingdom and then there's Illuminations at Epcot.

WDW is a favorite of ours both with and wihtout kids. The spectro magic parade at Magic Kingdom is a must see - have dinner at Tony's on town square and watch from there. Fireworks above the castle are also great with many viewing spots. love Alien Encounter, Space Mountain (a bit nostalgic now), Big Thunder, etc. Epcot is a blast as well - we like eating in France or Germany. Also make stops at UK for snacks and be sure to buy a beaver tail in Canada! The parade there at night is NOT TO BE MISSED. Exhibits are wonderful - the imagination and 3-D are just OK - Wonders of Life and GM ride are great. You can do MGM in less than a day - Rock and Roller Coaster is fun- be prepared for a really fast and bumpy ride, Tower of Terror is a must, Indiana Jones show is good and to just get off your feet, The Great Movie Ride is a good break. Their parade in the afternoon is fun but kid-oriented. We had dinner there at the Prime Time Cafe. Food was good, plentiful but be prepared for some very 'in role' servers. After a full and tiring day, ours became a bit overbearing. Use the Fast Pass whenever possible for the big rides. It will save you lots of time. We generally have gone from opening bell to closing fireworks - not for everybody but we're still kids at heart. Enjoy!

If you've never been to either of Universal's parks, you really should spend a day at one because they're more geared toward adults. Islands of Adventure for roller coaster enthusiasts and Universal for everyone else.

wdwig.com has section on Disney for adults. Deb Wills runs the board but lots of folks contribute. you can check out menus. I really enjoy Epcot, they have some really terrific rides - Mission Space is REALLY intense - and the World Showcase section has lots of live music performances at the different pavilions. Have fun!

My husband and I go to WDW on a regular basis. When we go, we usually do the 1 day/1 park tickets, but if you're doing the park hoppers, you'll get to go everywhere! For us, we didn't care for Epcot as much as the others. It was fun, don't get me wrong, but we wanted the rides moreso than shows and food. Epcot does have rides though. We really liked MGM with their thrill rides.

I second someone else's vote for Islands of Adventure. That's a great park. If you're into roller coasters, check it out. We had a lot of fun there.

WDW, US, and IOA are all great places. It's hard to choose just one park to go to.

No one has yet mentioned Animal Kingdom and other than Epcot, that's a favorite of mine. You can see plenty of animals without ever waiting in line to go on a ride. Exhibits are terrific. Have breakfast buffet in the Animal Kingdom lodge. A great opportunity to try lots of different dishes you might never get anywhere else. I haven't been but everything I've read also suggests that Jiko, the main dining room there is terrific. It sure looks beautiful.
Otherwise I agree with a lot that's been said already. We mostly stick to Epcot. The plantings alone are worth the price of admission and the assortment of restaurants is great. Besides the parks at Disney, I like to just see their various hotels. You can get to some by monorail and to the rest by bus. Enjoy your weekend.

Hi - There is so much for adults at Disney now! One place that stood out for us for a really nice dinner was the California Grill at the top of the Contemporary Resort. Time it so that you get there a half hour or so before they are to do the fireworks over Magic Kingdom. The restaurant dims the lights and plays music during the fireworks. When we were there a guy at the next table proprosed to his girlfriend during the fireworks. And the food was great!

I agree with the poster that said to go to Deb Wills site. More info there than you will have time to read. Have fun! sue

In the evenings, I suggest you include Downtown Disney, a cluster of shops and restaurants that are accesible w/o a ticket. There is a latin restaurant there that has a Latin-style salsa band -- if you don't want to eat there, drop in and have a drink at the bar and enjoy the band.

There's a House of Blues there -- check to see what's going on.

If you enjoy high-tech, you might like Disney Quest -- a 3-story virtual reality arcade. I accompanied my husband and son there and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. It's one cost per day, and then you can come and go. This is theme park ala hightech, very interesting "rides".

Also at Downtown Disney is Cirque de Soleil. And I think this is where Pleasure Island is, the more adult theme park (sorry but I haven't been to PI).

My husband and I have been there 4 times together and have no kids and we love it-we love Epcot and Animal Kingdom best but hit all the parks. Our favorite restaurant is California Grill on the top of the Contemporary Hotel-make reservations to coordinate with the firework show at the Magic Kingdom. The shut off the lights and pipe in the music-it's great. Check out Birbaum's book Disney for Adults for tons of fun stuff to do without kids.

We go to WDW occasionally and enjoy Epcot and the Animal Kingdom. Here are things I think it is fun to do without kids:

It is fun to do an evening pub crawl using the monorail as transportation. Maybe tapas or a light supper at the California Grill at sunset time, then onto the Polynesian. Drinks at the Grand Floridian and out to the dock to watch the fireworks.

I also think the Animal Kingdom Lodge is a wonderful place for a sunset drink on the balcony while watching the animals feed. Jiko is an elegant restaurant which I think is the best at Disney at this time.

Pleasure Island has many clubs to meet almost everyone's taste and one admission charge gets you into all clubs. There is no drink minimum and you can carry your drinks about with you. We think the Adventurer's Club is silly and fun (think Phineas Phogg and Around the World in 80 days). We always watch the dancers at Mannequins and hit some of the other clubs.

We like to have dinner at Wolfgang Puck on Downtown Disney's West Side. We don't care for the Cafe upstairs but prefer to get sushi and pizzas at the bar and people watch. Cirque de Soleil is on this end, as is the House of Blues, etc.

One night at Epcot doing an around the world dining experience would be fun. I do not think the restaurants are as high a quality as the ones at the resorts but they are well done. Food at the very picturesque English pub is horrendous and the Chinese place is scary. Otherwise they are all adequate and some are excellent (France, Morocco, maybe Canada). Fireworks at Epcot will finish your evening.

A big two-thumbs up for LMF's rec of Animal Kingdom Lodge and Jiko. We spent our last anniversary there. Room, food, everything was really fun. Not too many places where you can sit on your balcony and watch the rhinos. Their pool is nice, has a water slide and the poolside restaurants are good, actually reasonable. I thought their poolside drinks were mediocre. Jiko was really fabulous, pricey but well worth every penny. Wine selections were also reasonable and good.

Youv'e gotten enuf ideas for a 2 week trip but here's one more. there's a fun bar at the boardwalk where there's duelling (sorry about the spelling) pianos. I cant think of the name. We found it through mousesavers.com, a terrifi website for planning disney trips.

My brain woke up-I believe it's called Jellyrolls.
