My husband fell asleep at Hall of Presidents but he starting snoring at Doug-Live!:eek:

Lori

[followme2disney]

Impressions of France.....I think that's the name. Love the movie, but if I'm tired, I always fall asleep.:guilty:

[SnoWhiteRabbit]

Jay Sue,

You've been to Disney 3 times and you have fallen asleep on 7 different rides? Oh my. Sounds like a pretty high number....Does this happen other places, too or is just pure out an out Disney vacation exhaustion?

I've never fallen alseep at any attractions. I can see once or twice, here or there, but seven times! Wow.

[slp87]

On our first visit to Epcot in '83, we had driven all day and went to the park that evening. Our last attraction was Universe of Energy (obviously the original version). After the dino section everyone in our family of 4 was snoozing, I think. Then the part where the rocket took off came along and we were awake again!! Our drowsiness was part exhaustion, part boring attraction! I love Ellen now!!

[Harambe]

I fell asleep on the Great Movie Ride! I couldn't believe it! DD was tugging on my arm as we went into the Aliens part and I was shocked I had nodded off!

[staylor]

I think I'm doing fine then we sit down in the air conditioned chairs, they turn out the lights, and I'm out. But not before DH.
HaHa!

Hall of Presidents

[twinmomplus2]

The only time, I have ever fallen asleep. was New Years Eve 1999!!!!We were waiting for Midnight and it was freezing ao we went into The France pavillion. About 30 people in the audience? I swear when the man gave his little speech at the end 25 of the 30 people were sleeping. It was very funny. The CM was pretty good he said somthing like, Everyone wake up! My country is really not that boring, You must vist to be excited!

[meeko_33785]

Never fallen asleep on a ride, but I zoned out at Hall of Presidents, Festival of the Lion King, the boat ride from DTD to Riverside, and Mission to Mars (many years ago, though).

[Simba's Mom]

Am I the only one to fall asleep in the Enchanted Tiki Room? It was the old show, don't think they had thunder and lightining then. But it was hot out, so I went in with the express purpose of taking a snooze in the air conditioning. And it worked!

[Baloo]

On my trip last month I fell asleep for the first time at WDW...Universe of Energy! I really like that attraction and it' Erich's favorite but I was feeling sorta quesy that day and I fell asleep...Joe was AMAZED that I wasted time catching a nap while visiting my favorite place on earth...he said something about me getting old......grrrrrr....:tongue:

[jordanyosh]

When it's hot and we're tired, we look for sit-down rides. We love sleeping on Universe of Energy as it is never very crowded and we can each have our own row. We just lay down and nap. We also like American Adventure, but like the show, so we rarely sleep for the whole show. Hall of Presidents is another good sleeping ride. This is the first year in about 5 that I have seen Muppets 3-D;I always get about a minute in and fall asleep. I have tried falling asleep in Bear Country Jamboree, but the seats are very uncomfortable. COP is also a nice nap attraction,but as it isn't open very often, we try and stay awake if we get to see it. We have fallen asleep at various pre-show areas including Timekeeper, Hall of Pres, AA, Cranium Command, Impressions de France, Wonders of China.:teeth:

[Michelina]

For me Hall of Presidents, For DH Festival of the Lion King

[funhouse8]

As I was reading this tread to my DH (he falls asleep everywhere) He reminded me it's called a power nap. He said we are not sleeping we are power napping so we can continue our day. Gina:wave2:

[jaysue]

LOL, I try that one with DW - never works - post subject changed in honour of those males (including me) who believe it is power napping not sleeping aka. siesta

Thanks
jaysue

:chat:

[Pig Pen]

I can barely fall asleep in bed with the lights & TV off (insomniac). On the other had, DH can sleep anytime, anyplace, anywhere.

I'm sure he has slept through any ride where the seat has a "back" and it's dark. But that is certainly not a requirement for him!

[Tigger's Mom]

Movie in France...I love the music and film. It's so relaxing and peaceful, sometimes I just can't help myself.

DH goes to sleep just about anywhere they turn the lights out if he's sitting still.

[AKASnowWhite]

Ellen's Energy Adventure!

I really do like the ride - but being in the darkness, nice and cool for sooooo long - I just can't help it sometimes. It's great for the kids too - when DD was little and needed a nap, we hopped on in to see "Ellen" and she fell asleep! It's just nice to *rest* awhile sometimes.

[twinmomplus2]

:wave2: Just saw your counter!!!!! Wow 6 days!!!!Have fun!

[momof3disneyholics]

I have never fallen asleep on a ride, but Spaceship Earth is really relaxing:o

[rdrjj5]

My husband and his father always "rest" in the the carousel of progress.

[jordgubben]

I have never made it the whole way through Universe of Energy. Last year when we were down there I actually made a conscience (no pun intended) effort because I told my husband that I had never been awake for the whole thing. Tradition prevails.:faint:

[Darwineffect]

I have "power napped" in the Hall of Presidents, C.O.P., Muppetvision, the monorail, and I am sure a few others after a long day.

[ead79]

I don't remember falling asleep in any attraction, but my mom says I was out like a light at the Tiki Room when I was 3. She has fallen asleep at Universe of Energy (before Ellen). :teeth: I can't believe how many people have fallen asleep at American Adventure and Spaceship Earth--those are two of my very favorite attractions, and I can't imagine sleeping!

[Mceee]

Spaceship Earth is the only one that really gets to me. I usually snooze on that one. However that is becoming increasingly difficult, as during our trip last month, I noticed S-E to have become rather rough and jerky... needless to say, sleep-us interrupt-us! ;)

[patsal]

I have fallen asleep in the old Universe of Energy. DH and I were on our very first visit to WDW and it was a commando trip that encompassed as much as we could do in 6 days including US, Medieval Times, Pleasure Island and Typhoon Lagoon as well as all three (at the time) major parks. Just thinking about that trip makes me want to sleep! Dh worked for a power co. so he didn't think that show was as dull as I did!

[Abra Cat]

When I went to Grad Nite, back when 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was still around, I fell asleep with my face in the recessed window.

[sue1013]

I've never fallen asleep but DH can drop off any time. His favorites are COP and American Adeventure. As many times as we've been I think he's probably only stayed awake once through the whole AA show even though he says its one of his favorites!

[GrimGhost]

JaySue,
I have heard of all the others before (AA, HoP, CoP), but how on earth could you fall asleep on that bumpy truck ride across an African savannah !! Man, you must have been tired.

[LadyAurora]

I've never actually fallen asleep, but my eyelids get a little heavy in Ellen's Evergy Adventure and Spaceship Earth.
DH, who usually falls asleep at the drop of a hat (or the rise of a curtain) never falls asleep at Disney. It must be Magic!:D

[Tiggerlover91]

I haven't ever fallen asleep at a Walt Disneyworld attraction, but I came close in 2001 at the Hall of Presidents. DH, however has fallen asleep at:

THE HALL OF PRESIDENTS
COP
UNIVERSE OF ENERGY

[always quiet]

As great as Tiki is to fall asleep when it's hot outside...you should try it when it's cold!!! Back in 84, we had gone to disney and a REALLY cold front came through. My sister and I went into Tiki Room and thought we had died!! :bounce: It was so toasty warm inside!!!!:p Of course, the birds singing, the darkened room and the warmth made the perfect recipe for a little cat nap!! :teeth:

When we had taken our kids in 94, there were only 2 of them and they were 3 and 2. They were getting tired so I suggested the Tikis!!! It had the same effect on them!! :sunny:

[Lucky4me]

Can you imagine the popularity of a ride that was specifically set up to let people "power nap"? I think every day by 4pm there'd be a line of hundreds! ;)

They could call it "The Disney Dream" or "Rockabye rollercoaster".
It would be a huge auditorium, cool and dark. It would have big cushiony reclining seats, soft music and special affects that included every disney movie scene that had sleeping in it.. The seats would gently sway back and forth for 30 minutes at a time. They could send subliminal messages telling us to spend more money at the gift shops and concession stands. ;) They could end it with a motherly voice saying "wake up little ones, time for more Disney fun!"
I'd be there every afternoon.. :)

Until that happens I'll just have to be happy with The Hall of Presidents and American Adventure. I've yet to find a decent napping place at MGM or AK and believe me I've tried.

I take my sleep seriously. :teeth:

[scrump]

lots of rides relax me, but i've never fallen asleep at wdw. If I were to fall asleep, it would probably be Hall of Presidents.

But maybe that will change with the next trip, who know? :D

[DisneyKidds]

I never go into an attraction looking for a snooze.................sometimes it just happens. For me it happens most often at:

American Adventure (an incredible show that I love............but sometimes a comfy seat in a dark air conditioned theatre on a hot day is too much to overcome).

Tiki Room (cool dark place on a hot day thing again).

Voyage of the Little Mermaid (recurring cool dark place on hot day theme). Surprised nobody mentioned this one yet.

Boy, I fall asleep a lot when it's hot ::yes:: .

BTW - I don't sleep, I rest my eyes ;).

Kilimajaro Safaris has put my kids to sleep when they were babies. You know how the motion of a car can affect them.

[jaysue]

Yes, to snooze on KS - I was imitating the lion ::yes::

During our trip last week, I did not fall asleep/snooze/power nap etc. once!!! Made it!!!

:hyper:

thanks
jaysue

[michygoomy]

They could call it "The Disney Dream" or "Rockabye rollercoaster".

I love this idea. Fabulous.

Voyage of the Little Mermaid (recurring cool dark place on hot day theme). Surprised nobody mentioned this one yet.

Yep, that one's mine. On our last day in the world, I found myself falling asleep during Mermaid, and realized that a bit of the magic must be wearing off and it was time to go home!

[Daisimae]

DH and I have both fallen asleep during the movie in The Land. Circle of Life I think.

[cubsfan]

Maelstrom and the PeopleMovers! Sometimes they even let you go around a couple of times on the PeopleMovers.
