DISNEY, Your favorite ride....

#1 Postby furluvcats » Thu May 06, 2004 1:06 pm

When I was a little girl, I could not sleep a wink, the night before an impending Disney trip! The butterflies flew as rampant those nights as they did every Christmas Eve, in anticipation of Santa's visit the next morning!

Disney excitement is running thick through my household as of late, since we're finally living near a mouse house again...It's such a magical place to all ages, young and young at heart...Often in our home the discussion of "What's your Favorite Disney ride" comes up, and we sit and relive the magic of our favorite rides and Disney experiences...

What's yours? Share your fondest Disney memories, whether it be as an adult, or when you were a child.... I'll post mine in a few...Be sure to stae which park it is at!

In all my 52 1/2 years on this rock, I have never been in a Disney park. I wouldn't know where to start.

I've only been to Magic Kingdom in Orlando. My very favorite was Alien Encounter in Tomorrow Land. I had goose bumps all over. :lol:

I did Alien Encounter about 6 years ago and it scared the HELL outta me! My other favorite rides at the Kingdom were space mountain and splash mountain.

Alien encounter WAS cool...As a child, just seeing the castle at Magic Kingdom was a highlight...(The one at DisneyLand is TINY)

My favorites at DisneyLand are Pirates, Mansion and Indiana Jones is REALLY cool!

I also LOVE the Electric Light Parade...can you hear the music? :O)

Duckie...GUESS WHAT?

They still have TOAD at Disneyland...and if you like Toad...you should ride Alice and Wonderland...it's such a cute, cheesy ride...I wonder why Magic Kingdom never got it?

Tower of Terror, which is old news to you Floridians...just opened up here at the California Adv. park...we got to be guinea pigs and ride it before it offcially opened yesterday....

Space Mountain, then Haunted Mansion, then that runaway train thing. I've been to DWorld once and DLand once, prefer DWorld. Went there about 6 years ago, just me and hubby for first three days, then daughter flew out to ride scary rides with him since I was too chicken. Best memory-Phantasmic or whatever it was called. Laser light show with Mickey and the whole crew. That and cinderalla's castle. I got a picture of my daughter in front of it and started crying like a baby.

I'm SUCH a wuss.

I just love the 3D attractions. DW Magic Kingdom recently opened Philarmagic and it was wonderful. And at Epcot I just love Honey, I shrunk the Audience!

Ride wise, my favorites are Rock 'n' Rollercoaster, Tower of Terror, Space Mountain. Buzz Lightyears Space Ranger Spin is loads of fun also I was told this past February that they plan on revamping Space Mountain in the near future.

I was 20 when I first visited Disney World in Orlando. That was also my first time seeing the ocean. I'd have to say Space Mountain was probably my favorite. Then in the 90s we took our daughters when they were little, so I could see the park thru a child's eye. It's a Small World is probably my favorite ride from that time period. And my oldest daughter Nina still talks about Carousel of Progress! Of all rides.....she was most impressed how you remained seated and your floor you were on spun around the center stage. She thought that was so cool! This isn't a ride but as a family we ate dinner twice at the Castle and loved it both times. My kids still talk about the pats of butter in the shape of Mickey Mouse!!!
