BRDof3...Rob 40 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I have a lot of them, but Big Thunder Mountain has a special place in my heart. We took the kids to The World in '08. My oldest was 10 at the time. She wanted to ride BTMRR, but was afraid of it. After waffling for days, she and I rode it when we were at MK for evening magic hours. She loved it so much that we went back to MK at rope drop our last day and rode it 10 times in a row, until my coffee kicked in and I had to find a bathroom. When I got out the lines were forming and we didn't want to wait in them.It turned her into a roller coaster fiend. It's good, in the sense that we have had some special ride time together in other amusement parks. It's bad, when contrasted to my life-long fear of heights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhitShores 1 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 We rode BTMRR one night, just me and DH while the Fireworks were going off. It was magical and something we will always remember...But my favorite ride out of all would be Rock n Roller Coaster. So awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 It's close, but I have to say for sheer nostalgia and feeling like I'm really truly at Disney World...1. Haunted Mansion2. PiratesHM is one where I seem to always see something new. I keep praying the darned thing will break down in the attic for about 20 minutes. Pirates is just classic Disney World to me.More often than not Magic Kingdom is our first park, and we always go left out of the hub to Adventureland.After the first Dole Whip pineapple float, it's onto Pirates.For ride/show quality - it's Expedition Everest all day long.Aside from being a damned fine ride, the theming in the line queue and surrounding area is second to none. Sounds silly, but every time we're there I want to go to Nepal.And in how many theme parks can you take a photo like this... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Just Whipperwhirl 24 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I am a sucker for Space Mountain - It was the first Disney ride I ever went on in Japan - and I have loved it in any of the parks ever since - yes - its lame - but I still Love it.

BouncingTiggers 98 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I have to say my favorite could be either Soarin or Thunder Mountain. What makes these so good for me is my DS just has a blast on both. That makes any ride just perfect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Am I weird? I like Small World. No trip is complete without it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stefa70 205 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Am I weird? I like Small World. No trip is complete without it.No way you're weird! I love Small world and make everyone go on it when we go! I do try to save it until the end of the day tho, as that song just STICKS with you for a while.I rode Toy Story for the first time last month and LOVED it!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 My hands down favorite is Carousel of Progress!!!However, I really enjoy Toy Story Mania, but don't get to ride it very often, cause I won't wait in long lines, and it's hard to get my better half out of bed really early!!

kampfirekim 260 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 My fave?:dance: How can I choose? Love the Mountains.. ALL of them. Space, Thunder, Splash and Everest.But I think Rock n Roller coaster takes the top prize for me. How can you top a great coaster w/ Aerosmith music??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tiggerinbama 11 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Pirates, Carousel of Progress, Expedition Everest, Rockin Roller Coster, and the The Safari, in that order.The Best Dinner Show for us is the Hoop De Doo, been over 100 times. we go at least one every trip if not more.Sometimes I just look at the castle at night, with the fireworks going off and just remember the first time you ever saw it, it will bring tears to your eyes. Sometimes when I get that feeling, I just want to run to the front an give to the make a wish foundation, or to bring a kid who doesn't have the money or will never be able to go to disney, and just escort them around.

Rhonda (aka Roz) 7 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Another vote for Carousel of Progress! And I love the Wedway People Mover/Tomorrowland Transit Authority. Rockin' Rollercoaster is my favorite "fast" ride. Peter Pan is my favorite nostalgic ride. :siren: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 1) Soarin' 2) Buzz Lightyear 3) Toy Story ManiaToy Story Mania can't be any better than 3rd in my book till they do something about the lines... but I think they move as fast as they can given the type of ride it is.

mgsmom 9 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'm with DaisyD23 - can you even go to MK without riding the Jungle Cruise? Really? It's the best. :dance: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftwildernessrick 10 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 For thrill type rides - Tower of TerrorBut we always have to do the classics at MK or it just doesn't feel like you are at Disney World.Pirates, Peter Pan, Small World, etc. - You know what I mean.

tiggerinbama 11 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I use to love TOT but lately it just gives me Headaches, but Britt still loves it that was the first ride she ever did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Santa ... Shannon 160 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 El Rio del Tiempo!LOL, just kidding! I'd have to go with Soarin'. The trip just isn't complete without a flight over Cali. Course, the trip isn't complete without Pirates, and HM, and RnRC, and ... well, you get the idea! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KC5GRW...aka...Mike 1 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 My favorite attraction was the BraviSEAmo! show at Tokyo DisneySea. This was by far the best show I've seen in any Disney park. Alas, they ended up replacing it with Fantasmic of all things last year. I like Fantasmic, but BraviSEAmo! was a better show and I can't believe they replaced it. It was just another unique aspect of DisneySea and I sure hope they aren't headed down the path to make that park look like any of the others. There are actually several unique and very good shows at DisneySea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lil Lisa 53 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Small world, Pirates and Carousel of Progress. I'm a sucker for the old standards. As far as newer rides, I liked Soarin and Test Track! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Carousel of Progress. I'm a sucker for the old standards. Reprint from "The HUB"The parents' names are John and Sara, the children's names are Patricia and Jimmy and the uncle's name is Orville.There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" was the original song for the 1964 World's Fair attraction, but "The Best Time of Your Life" was the song for the Carousel's opening at Disney World in 1975. In 1994, "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" was brought back to the attraction.Show length, 20.75 minutes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
