Favorite Disney Ride

That's why it has a bad rap...they've been having serious problems with admission, and a lot of people haven't even headr of it

I guess out here, there are a lot of people resistant to new Disney and they didn't really like the park that much. There aren't as many rides and total attendance is a lot lower than they expected it would be. Bringing back the Electrical Parade helped a lot, but then this fall they're really cutting back hours. I never went in there until I started working there, but I like it and since I know all the things to do, I have fun when I go. I think that it will be better once they let people purchase 1 day park hopper passes. Also, we're opening a Who wants to be a Millionaire in September. And they're planning a light show with "baby" fireworks over Paradise Bay.

I guess just around So Cal, I kind of feel like I have to stick up for my park. I love California, so I really like all the areas of the park and what they represent. Anyway, I'm done babbling (for now )

What a great topic! I am a Disney nut! I have more Goofy shirts and knick knacks than I can count. I don't think I can pin point one fav ride...EPCOT overall is my favorite, aside from the first view of walking through the gates in the Magic Kingdom and seeing Main St USA and the castle...awesome! I've been to Disney 6 times and each time is better and better...I turn into a little kid instantly. Last time I was there (Spring Break two years back with my boyfriend) we heard all about the property Disney is putting houses/condos on to buy and you'd be living in Disney basically...boy I wish I had the money!

This has to be one of the worst topics-ever!! To the administrator- I kindly ask you to remove this topic. There is no place for this in a greek related forum. This topic belongs in the Nickelodean or Disney- mickey mouse forum!!!!!!!!

[butterflyfancy]

I thought that chitchat was for non-greek topics, like movies and shopping and disney . . .

You're absolutely right, butterflyfancy. This guy is just trying to be funny. I emphasize "TRYING".

Well, see, Brandeis is only interested in posting in alcohol-related threads

Anyhow, yes, the California Adventure doesn't have a great rep, but give it time...I'm sure it'll come around. I just heard it wasn't as fun as Disneyland - and it's all at the same price, so Disney's more worth it. I thought the replica of Golden Gate Bridge is absolutely GORGEOUS - I am so glad that it's there .

I for one, though, do want to visit Cali Adventure soon - just b/c I love my state and would love to see the rides about Hollywood, the Golden Gate Bridge, etc. etc.!

Butterflyfancy - you are soooooo LUCKY to be working for Disney . I envy you so much! To me, it really is the happiest place on earth .

Newbie, you and me seem to have sooo much in common, lol- besides the whole giants thing, I absolutely love Disneyland! I want to go to summer school in l.a. (long beach or fullerton) and work at disneyland for a summer- i love it there so much and find it so magical- lol, i'd love to go there on my honeymoon hoping to get to vist a lot more when i move down to san diego... CA adventures is really cool... some of the rides aren't that great, but some are... i totally agree that you need to give it time cuz disneyland wasn't even that popular at first...

Space Mountain!

GiantsChic-

DOn't know if you've already heard, but Disney offers a summer "internship" program for college students. They find you fairly reasonable housing and you work in one of the parks. I know people who've done it and absolutely love the experience. The group of interns is pretty close, and they plan all sorts of activities, socials, and even a few classes to keep things interesting. They recruit on a lot of CA campuses in march...if you have any questions, just emial me...I went through the whole interview process and realy wanted to do the program, but chose a different job...oh well. Hope this helps! BTW, there's a website at www.disneycollege.com

HAUNTED MANSION!!

followed very closely by Pirates of the Caribbean. My fiance and I live a half-hour's drive from Disneyland, and we're going to have Christmas dinner at the Blue Bayou, that restaurant on Pirates. I am so excited!!

[Wine&Blue]

Carnation,
Just found this thread you started. I LOVE it because we're going to Disney for our honeymoon! I'm taking note of everybody's favorites.

[ZTAngel]

My fav ride is the Haunted Mansion!

BTW, Disney and the Universal theme parks offer many internships in Florida during the summer as well. I'm actually trying to get an internship over at Universal's marketing department for the summer. I'm crossing my fingers!!!

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was THE BEST! I miss it.
