Favorite Disney Ride

[carnation]

We got fastpasses for Splash Mountain (get them early, they're all gone by midday), Peter Pan's Flight, Big Thunder Mountain, and the Jungle Cruise. I can't tell what they took out of the Haunted Mansion but there's this new section with staircases going everywhere plus the ghosts in the graveyard are way better and the story of the bride in the attic is clarified.

SigKapSweetie, we missed the MGM Toy Story Ride! The line was so long by the time we got there (we spent the morning in Animal Kingdom) that we bypassed it. For the first time, though, we all took the backstage tour and it was great--2 of our girls and our 2 exchange students were chosen to be in the stage show and it was hilarious!

I only went to Disney World when I was a toddler, but I've been to the original Disney - Disneyland - many times. Pirates has always been my favorite, followed by Thunder Mountain, Teacups, and for some reason, the Jungle Boat.

My friends just returned from a weekend at Disneyland and discovered that Small World is back open (in case anyone is interested) after a modernization. According to my friends, not too much is different, but Disney added in some Disney characters among the children of the world.

I had not been following this thread or I would have asked you to say"Hi" to my daughter who was an intern in the Animal Kingdom working the educational areas teaching the kids about the animals and the environment. On Monday she starts a second internship for Disney working with the coordinators of the interns. She absolutely loves working for Disney and would love for this to turn into a permanent job.

I have never been to DisneyWorld but have been to Disneyland a zillion times-- for the last 19 years I have lived only 30 miles away.
