That’s no way to talk about your wife!
“It’s Tough To Be A Bug”, the movie inside the tree of life at Animal Kingdom, is a great one to sit back and watch the audience reaction. The perfect mix of laughter and screaming.
Best ride at night is the Jungle Cruise. The lines are shorter and the tour guides seem to get more edgy with their pun routines.
My favorite used to be Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, but since that’s gone, I’m going to choose It’s a Small World After All.
(sigh) no, I’m the mom, there with my daughter. And the garbage can said:
“You two must be sisters!”
Totally got me too.
I was on the ride with my nieces (5 and 5) and after the terrifying part above I started thinking, “If that scared me, then those kids must be absolutely terrified.” As it turns out, one of them thought it was a wild fun experience, but the other definitely did not. It took almost half an hour to stop her crying. That’s when I had a beer.
My oldest daughter was only 11 the first time we went and she loved this ride. Not sure how many times she went on it but must have been close to a dozen. Funny thing is I could never get on the roller coaster that’s not too far from us In Calgary. It’s got some loops so I guess that’s whats keeping her from it.
So, like, did the literal garbage can talk to you? Or was it the person wheeling it around?
I can go on the loopdy-loopiest coaster around and be perfectly fine, but the backwards portion of Everest upsets my stomach every time. Not to the point of throwing up or anything, but it makes it queasier than I’d like to feel.

[/QUOTE]Holy crap I never even knew that was a thing!
The inner stage never rotated. That would probably take rebuilding it from the ground up. Why would they do that? Twice?
Never been to Disney World, but my dad was deeply involved in the design of the waste-water system. So, I guess I’d be proud to slap cheeks down and lay some cable on the porcelain throne ride.
Disneyland? I go for the Indiana Jones thing.
Well then, I’ve honored your father plenty of times 
Indiana Jones in D-land is amazing. The “Dinosaur” ride at Animal Kingdom (originally “Countdown to Extinction” when it opened in 1998) is basically the same ride-track, but of course the visuals differ.
I’ve lived in both Florida and California and my family always got annual passes, so I used to be very familiar with the parks. My favorites tend to get ripped out and replaced. In Florida, at Epcot I miss Horizons and World of Motion and Energy and Kitchen Kabaret and Cranium Command and the original Imagination rides most, I guess. In the Magic Kingdom I miss Mr. Toad and the Sky Ride and 20,000 Leagues in Fantasyland, and the Walt Disney Story (in the former ‘Hospitality House’ in Town Square). At Studios I miss the Great Movie Ride and the original Animation show/experience.
I’m not even sure what’s still there, as of now–it’s been quite a while since I was there. I love the train at the Magic Kingdom and the Haunted Mansion. Assuming Peter Pan is still there, that’s a favorite, as is the Carousel of Progress.
At Epcot I’d go with Spaceship Earth, as it’s more characteristically-Disney-park than is Soarin’. The latter is a marvelous experience, but rather generic theme-park. (Is Patrick Warburton still in the pre-show movie?) I love the American Adventure, cheesy as it is.
At Studios…Tower of Terror, I guess. At Animal Kingdom, probably the safari. I liked the walk-through animal exhibits, too. I miss a ride that existed there for only a few weeks after the park opened, I think: a river-boat ride in which you saw large-scale animatronic dinosaurs. Too expensive to maintain, I suppose.
A major ‘free so far’ favorite is the boat ride between the Disney Springs shopping/entertainment area and the resorts up-river. There are a lot of very enjoyable boat rides on property, really.
The train ain’t going away anytime sure that I can guarantee you. Peter Pan actually just got a brand-nee queue which makes the 70 min wait A LOT better and more interesting. The ride is still the same however.
Yup! Even though they changed Soarin’ from Cali to the rest of the world, I’m happy to say that Patrick Warburton is still there. Fun fact: The kid in the movie that listens to him and correctly puts his Disney merch under his chair is his IRL son. It was one of his requests to do the video.
Yeah, no dinos outside of Dinoland USA
You see a bunch of hotels that way. It’s way more fun than the busses.
I have GOT to find a way to get back! I’d really enjoy seeing the new Peter Pan queue, and the rest of it. (Thanks for the information!)
Yay, Disney!
Rides we go on every time:
Tower of Terror (My favorite)
Dinosaurs
Primeval Whirl
Aerosmith Rock n Roller Coaster
Test Track (love the fastpass line!)
Safari
Thunder Mountain
We used to go on Expedition Everest, and I really like it, but we’ve missed it the last bunch of times for some reason.
Rides I don’t really love, but we do for others in the group:
Pirates of the Carribean
Haunted Mansion
As mentioned elsewhere, Flight of Passage is really awesome, but I can do a lot of pretty awesome in the time it takes to get through the line.
I’m overdue for a trip - haven’t been there since before Christmas. I think we’re going for a weekend at the opening of Toy Story Land. We’ll probably waste half a day standing in line, but the rest of the weekend will be regular Disney experiences.
Ooh, and we’re thinking about staying in the Tree House Villas.
My husband and I say that we are Disney fans because we never tire of the logistics. The vast majority of the rides are “meh” and the few we have to be on every trip can probably be counted on your fingers - and a few of those are just plain sentimental favorites, but we love how they run a queue, or move people from theme to theme, or keep the gardens looking good all the time, or feed a gazillon people from 11am to 1pm.
They have been retired now - they might come out again sometime, but for now they are gone.
Along the lines of this category, it’s always funny to see the looks I get when I say my two rides that I’ll go on if they’re open (or get a fast pass) but don’t really care much for is Pirates and Space Mountain.
Pirates is cute and all, but it’s just a few rooms and really doesn’t have much to it. Maybe if we had a second drop like Disneyland it’d be different.
Space Mountain is just Whiplash Mountain. It’s so dark you can’t anticipate the hairpin turns and just get thrown around for 90 seconds. I’d much rather do Big Thunder.
Matterhorn bobsleds!
Which they don’t actually have at Disney World, as I learned on my (only) visit, in 1981. :mad:
