5 Things You MUST Do at Walt Disney World in 2012!

Star Tours: The Adventures Continue (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

Star Tours opened at the then Disney-MGM Studios in 1990 and was a state of the art motion simulator attraction taking guests in on a tour of the moons of Endor. By 2010, however, what was state of the art in 1990 at the Disney-MGM Studios was, well, ho-hum at Disney's Hollywood Studios (as the theme park is now called). So Disney worked its magic on this attraction and reopenedt in 2011 as Star Tours: The Adventures Continue. With new story lines and new high definition films in 3-D, this attraction is once again cutting edge and just a lot of fun!

Expedition Everest (Epcot)

This roller-coaster at Disney's Animal Kingdom has been open for several years now, but if you haven't' been on it yet, don't let another year go by without riding this thrilling adddtion to Walt Disney World! Enjoy a scenic train trek to the top of Mount Everest, that is at lest until the infamous Yeti changes the plan. As your train emerges from a cave, riders catch a glimpse of the Yeti's shadow and notice the train track ahead is ripped into two. Unable to proceed, the train starts going backwards, downhill into a dark cave and speeds over and around Mount Everest to escape the Yeti.

Captain EO (Epcot)

Opened in 1986 and closed in 1994, Captain EO is a 17 minute 3D spectacular staring Michael Jackson as the Captain of a band of intergalactic musicians who are on a mission to deliver a gift to the Supreme Leader. Since the death of Michael Jackson a few years ago, fans of this Disney classic have been petitioning Disney to bring back the film... and Disney has listened. However, Disney hasn't said how long the film will play at Epcot so catch it while you can!

The Celebrate You Parade (Magic Kingdom)

This lively parade is presented daily at 3pm in the Magic Kingdom. All of your favorite Disney characters dance and sing along the parade route from Frontierland to Main Street USA as they help you celebrate whatever it is you're celebrating that day; your first Walt Disney World visit, your birthday, whatever!

La Cava del Tequila (Mexico Pavilion, Epcot)

Okay, La Cava del Tequila isn't an attraction per se, but it is relatively new and a great place to stop in if your 21 or older and like Tequila. Located in Epcot's Mexico pavilion, in this hidden gem of a tequila bar you'll find authentic Mexican artifacts in a setting meant to honor the Mexican tequila making tradition.
