No fair, Carnation - you know I'm a Disney Junkie!!

Fav's:
Pirates of the Caribbean

Space Mountain

Splash Mountain (love the roller coaster hill going into the Laughing Place)

Big Thunder Mountain (ride in the back - it sucks up front because the momentum doesn't pick up)

Peter Pan

Mr. Toad -- don't get me started!! The Pooh ride is fun and all, but I loved my Mr. Toad!

Geez...why even bother, other than the teacups, there's not much there I don't ride or go do.

I love "Its Tough to be a Bug" and "Dinosaur" -- the Asia rapids ride SUCKS! Its like taking a shower with your clothes on -- no real hills or anything. Also - the Kilamanjaro Safari ride would be better if they didn't pull out the cheesy-ness of the poachers getting after Big Red.

MGM - love the shows - not a roller coaster rider so I lay off the Tower of Terror (I've done it though) or the Rock'n Roller Coaster ("Chicken of the Me") - Star Tours is pretty good.

EPCOT - Test Track - only ridden once -- I am not waiting in line for 2 1/2 hours for a 60 second ride. Fast Passes were even gone by 9:30, the past 2 times we've been. I like all the stuff at EPCOT, except for Body Wars - that ride just makes me green - even when I close my eyes, I can't ride it. Oh - Ellen's Universe of Stupidity is the biggest 45 minute waste of time too.

Here's some scoop on the Animal Kingdom thing - originally it was supposed to have a Dinosaur theme for the whole park -- including some big coasters and stuff like that. Well a designer got ticked off and quit Disney, and went to Universal Studios and sold his ideas to them -- his idea is now called "Universal Studios - Islands of Adventure" -- big poo-poo on Disney's part. They are now re-grouping to redesign the back half of Animal Kingdom and come up with their own version. (Man I love knowing people who work behind the scenes and aren't afraid to spill )
