As I have taken multiple trips to WDW, I will be down there in a few weeks and I was wondering if there is something new or interesting I can do for a change? Is there anything you like to do that seems like a waste of time for everyone else? Anything you like to do every time you visit? It can even be food to try.

The tours!! I went on the Keys to the Kingdom tour in Magic Kingdom, and I learned amazing new things about the park, and Walt Disney World itself. It costs a bit of money, but is really worth it!
Love this idea! I'm looking forward to the Keys to the Kingdom tour and the one with the trains on our next trip!
I have to agree, the tours are great.
If you've got 7 hours free, take Backstage Magic. You'll go all over the resort and it comes with really good lunch.

That sounds like a relaxing day. Thanks for the tip!
this^^^. Some of my absolute most magical days here have been spent doing this very thing. I am about two hotels away from having visited every single one of the Disney ones. you can even BYOB in your backpack :)
I always enjoy taking a boat from MK over to Ft. Wilderness & walking around the Tri Circle D Ranch. It's where they keep the horses that pull the carriage for weddings, the trolly & carriages down Main Street, etc. It's very leisurely & out of the way so most people wouldn't "waste their time" since it's outside of the parks. There is also a playground with swings right by the lake and who doesn't like swings?!
Mini-golf is fun too!

Do they still offer the engineering tour to VIPs?
Might be the kid in me, but I still love to rent a mouse boat on bay lake. I believe you can rent one from the Grand Floridian, Contemporary, Wilderness Lodge, and Polynesian. I think it's around $40 an hour, and you just have to leave a room key or ID while you're on the lake. Gives you a whole new view of the MK area.
I know it sounds crazy but try to step back and take a look around you. I promise you there's somethig RIGHT there that you're missing.
Last time we were there, my 6th trip. I noticed that they had a boat service in the World Showcase so you don't have to wander all through the pavillions. It was a warmer day and I kind of appreciated being able to head over to Germany (where we had reservations for lunch) without weaving through the crowds.
I know it was mentioned in a tour book I read somewhere, but honestly it seemed like new info to me since I'm normally focused on getting from point A to B to C as quickly as possible.
I am loving all of these ideas!!! I want to go back!!
Check out other hotels you never stayed at before. Disney has great decorations!
Food can be a bit too broad since there are literally SO many options. If you've taken a lot of trips, perhaps you could take a day to explore all the beautiful resorts. You could also check out Splitsville [get there early!] or go for a round of mini golf. You could always try the classic drink around the world in Epcot or the 'monorail crawl' [get off and drink at each monorail stop around the Magic Kingdom resorts].
As for food, return to the world during the Food and wine festival. It will not disappoint.
I second the drink around the world or monorail crawl.
Renting the boats is a great suggestion too.
Resort hopping is a ton of fun too. Great rum runner's at the pool of the Boardwalk hotel. Or order a sandwich at the Beach and Yacht pool.
Those are good suggestions. Although, I think I will just miss the Food and Wine festival, but I will check those dates. Thanks for the advice!

Oh, you are right. Thanks for telling me about that.
