Go to Intercot and check it out - it is a MUST for Disney fanatics.

I have heard mixed reports on Mission: Space (abbreviated M:S on there so you'll know). Some say that they can ride anything and this ride caused them to be sick - very sick. Others say that its pretty fun the first time, but not to ride again.

I have ridden everything at Disney now (even RnRC if you can believe it!) except for the Primeval Whirl in AK (a spinny ride) and M:S. I will not ride either I don't think. I can't go in circles very well, and being sick at WDW isn't my thing.

WHY DON'T YOU GO IN APRIL? We are going the last week and I'd love to catch up with you

I am counting the days to go - I could live at WDW - even being a trash collector, I would still love it. There is just something about that place

heard on the radio yesterday that there is a new "ride" at typhoon lagoon, which is one of the water parks. it was called a ride, but i wonder if they were using the term loosely and it was perhaps a new water slide. we may be going in april and i will let you know.

We're going in October...We aren't going to the Magic Kingdom this time around...Too tame!

We are going to the non-Disney "ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE"!!! YES! I need some adrenaline-pumping action...and MK doesn't have enough of that...

I've never been to MGM Studios, so we'll go there...MAYBE Animal Kingdom, not sure yet...

I used to really like the "flying Dumbos" when my kids were just little folks.

Now, of course, they'd rather go to Cedar Point and ride all the big coasters.

I think I'll always love the spinning teacups

Awww - that's terrible

I am 31 and will never-ever tire of WDW. Even Dumbo

but the line takes forever!!

And about the new ride at Typhoon Lagoon -- yes, it is a "water coaster" which means that it is a slide, but the speed, twists, and turns, are enough to label it as a coaster.

LOL at you questioning it as a ride -- everything on Intercot is classified as "a ride" -- whether its a moving ride, a movie at EPCOT, a parade -- LOL! Kinda like us Southerners calling it a "Coke" regardless of its "real" name (Pepsi, Mello Yello, Sprite, etc.)

My favorite ride is the original Journey into Imagination. Since they took that away, I'll go with Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

I'm also a sucker for the Carousel of Progress and the PeopleMover...

I'm a premium annual passholder at Disneyland and an avowed Disneyholic that doesn't want treatment it.

My favorite rides at Disneyland Resort are (not necessarily in order):

Pirates of the Caribbean - this was always the first ride we went on
Soarin over California - this may be my new all-time favorite
Space Mountain - can't wait for it to reopen
Disneyland Railroad - this has to do with childhood memories. We always road the train as our last ride of the night before we would leave.

I can't wait until May. I graduate with my Master's on the 20th and then I fly to Orlando on the 24th as a present to myself. It's been 15 years since i was last there. I want to see Animal Kingdom, Epcot Center, and all the resort hotels. the only bad part is that none of my friends could get time off so i'm going by myself. If any one will be there at the same time and want to meet up just pm me.

If anyone is a true Disney conissuier it is ME! I am a premiumun passholder i use to live at the park when i was living in Glendora ( 40 minute drive) now i go at least 2 times a month. I go at least every other yr to walt disney world and am very excited to see Eisner OUSTED !

I Love Priates and I love space mtn.

I have my disney credit card ,my disney yrly pass, i get the disney catalog and spend to much money in it, i religiously read any and all disney books and disney magazine.

I buy any disney i truly must have on ebay...i have collected so many lanyards of pins to trade not even funny......and if that isnt bad i go to disneyana every yr it is in anahiem.

I might agree with you on the California part, but NOT the Florida part -- remember, Florida is 98% old retirees who live there and complain about WDW.

I live several hours away, but go at least once a year - usually twice a year. In 06, I am planning on the 3 times a charm

And guess what phisigduchesscv.... they are doing the soft opening of SOARIN' at WDW right now!! So it will be open when you get there! You won't have to miss a thing

DolphinChicaDDD · #73 03-19-2005, 12:46 AM

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN!!!!

love it! i also love space mountain (scared the crap outta me as a kid when there were no safety bars) and buzz lightyear.

i recently registered for the disney half marathon, so i'll be going in janurary- and i am very excited!

I was getting kinda lonely because no one had mentioned Star Tours. And then I looked at the age of the thread and then checked the first page, and someone else likes it too.

YAY!

As a kid, I HATED going on roller coasters. I still do actually. So going on rides like Dumbo, the Tea Cups and Small World were my thing.

I also haven't been to DL in YEARS and had no idea they closed Mr. Toads. That was a classic ride.

Let's see: I liked Peter Pan's Flight because flying over the city in the ship is the coolest thing ever.

Matterhorn is my new favorite ride.

I can't wait for Autotopia again. I loved that ride as a kid and then I heard they were redoing it and haven't been back since.

And it's not really a ride... but hello. THE TIKI ROOM!!! There is a song you'll never get out of your head. But it's so funny and cheesy you have to love it.

I also liked Fantasmic when it was there. I know, it's a show but it was still really neat to see over and over again.

I think my boyfriend and I are heading down there in May so hopefully I get to see all the cool stuff they've added. Is Space Mountain open yet? With the 50 year anniversary, you'd think it would be open by then.

(*I'm completely out of tune with Disney stuff, so ya'll have to clue me in*)
