Me and my boyfriend always die laughing after Soarin' because even though the smell is usually accurate, there are times when that pine scent can not be escaped and we'll be over the ocean smelling pine and in the drylands smelling pine. It's quite hysterical. I've been on it at DW and DL.

Feels like I'm the only one on Earth that hasn't been to Disney!

Wish I were at Disney RIGHT NOW. DD is going to DL in April . . . without me.

Mike & I were at Disneyland this past Sunday and I still love it!
Now we're planning a trip to Disney World for either September or January. I can't wait!

It's not technically a ride, but Mickey's Philharmagic. I also like MGM's rockin' rollercoaster and what's a day at MK without It's a Small World? I finally got to DL in Aug. on 07 and it was a completely different "land" for me. It's definitely not the world, but it's good for what it is. I wouldn't fly back just to go there however. I'm a FL girl and I love me some Disney World. Where else does a theme park have it's own highway! That's the real!

Disney Land vs. Disney World

I love both the World and the Land for different reasons. Disney Land because it is the one with Walt's personal touch on it. I love New Orleans Square, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Space Mountain and Pirates are much cooler at DL, Monte Cristo sandwiches, and I love the Indiana Jones Ride! (California Screaming at CA is great, too!) Disney World is my "home" - it's bigger, I like the Haunted Mansion better here, Mickey's Philharmagic, Pooh is MUCH better at WDW, Liberty Tree Tavern, Tony's Town Square, and the Castle. Rock n Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror, Expedition Everest and all of Epcot. Love, love both - it's like picking a favorite child. You love them both for what makes them unique. I am dying to get to Disneyland Paris and ride Phantom Manor.

well i just finished my disney college program in early january ( in orlando from may-jan) and i worked at the Emporium on Main St USA in MK!!!

and haunted mansion is FREAKIN AWESOME now that it's been refurbed (def more of the movie type deal)

rumor has it they're going to refurb space mountain sometime soon too (thank god i never ever put my hands up on that ride i was scared they were going to break off lol)

spaceship earth has been refurbed .. it's ok


my favorites though at WDW are

1) Haunted Mansion
2) Teacups .. ( who doesn't like the teacups???)
3) Splash/Space Mountain
4) Expedition Everest
5) Soarin/Test Track
6) Snow White/Pooh (the animation is really good and i loove the bouncy part in pooh)
7) Nemo (Epcot) - WOW is all i can say about the CGI stuff
8) Asian River Rapids (AK and i don't remember the name)
9) ToT/RnRc - CLASSICS in Disney MGM now Hollywood Studios
10) Big Thunder (def ride this around 10 @ night if you can to see wishes .. it's AWESOME!!!!!)


other than that I HATE that they changed Disney MGM Studios to Disney Hollywood Studios and took off mickey's hand on the EPCOT ball (25th anniv so they made it to look like when it originally opened)



and for an interesting tidbit for all you disney fanatics out there

The cable you see from cinderella's castle to an undisclosed location in MK is Prince Charming's cable hookup, Cinderella's washing line, or a place for the birds to sit to have a good view of the parade (take your pick .. and if you don't know what it's actually for .. feel free to PM me)

EPCOT also stands for Every PayCheck On Thursday


and if you can DEFINITELY TAKE THE TUNNEL TOUR under the MK .. it's really cool but don't take little kids on this tour ...it will ruin the disney magic (also if you don't know how it'll ruin the magic feel free to PM me)


Starlight Starbright
First star I see tonight
I wish I may
I wish I might
Have the wish
I wish tonight
Make a wish
And do as dreamers do
And all your wishes
Will come true

Oh, I'm so glad the hand is off the Epcot ball! Now,if only they could get that stupid hat out of Hollywood Studios, which I do like better than MGM-Disney Studios. I understand they didn't think Pixar-Disney Studios rolled off the tongue! I used to love looking down to the Chinese Theatre from the front of the park - and now there's that stupid hat . . . .

and don't forget, as far as EPCOT

-Every Pocketbook Comes Out Trashed
-Every Persons Carries Out a Toddler

I don't know how I'm going to make it 50 days until I go! Yeah!

Hmmm...mine's gotta be a toss-up between Splash Mountain and the Matterhorn. But the teacups are a CLASSIC, you absolutely must.

I am going at the end of the month for my birthday! I haven't been since before I graduated highschool!

My favorite is Pirates of the Caribbean! It has been my favorite since I was a little kid long before the movie!

We just got back! I really liked the updates to the Haunted Mansion, which was closed last time we went. This time, Space Mountain and WEDWay (now the Tomorrowland Transit Authority?) were closed. Spaceship Earth is better now too.

What did they update on the Haunted Mansion? Is it worth the line? Any suggestions on what to get fastpasses for? My friend and I will only be there a day and we want to do as much as possible and we both haven't been there in years!
