Mmmmm, looking at this before breakfast was a bad idea!

That's actually the EXACT pose Wingnut suggested we do. We probably will do something along those lines - why not??
Your favorites are my favorites, but I have been avoiding splash lately because people come off soaking wet. There is this splash/fountain thing that is timed to hit the boat rounding the corner. For years it seemed like it didn't work right and now it is perfect. I need a poncho to ride it now!
So cool that your dad always protected you from the water. Go Dad!
I totally lost steam on the 30 day challenge on my PTR as well...but I figure I have over a year so I will get to it.
I agree with you on the Haunted Mansion completely, I could ride this over and over again and it never gets boring.
Hmmm. I'm not a fan of Splash, the big drop terrifies me and the last time I rode it (Hi MEK!) I got soaked and no one else did!
I love Haunted Mansion and Splash also! Splash will be the last think we go on this year before leaving MK though, just in case I get soaked again!
Haunted Mansion and Splash are my favorites, too! Liberty Square is just my favorite MK land, period, since I'm a history nerd. I LOVE walking by the tree with the lanterns hanging in it at night.
Ahhh, thanks for the Frontierland music...I have such great memories of being there at nighttime hearing it!
Fun memories.
I love all the music that wafts through the air in Disney World. It's one thing I really, really miss when we leave the Disney bubble. I remedy that with a lot of DIS Radio and Magical Mouse Radio playing in the background at home.
Life before Fastpasses. Yes, I do remember.
Fastpasses are our friends.
can't wait to see it
favorite attractions:
Liberty Square I am sure you know...Haunted Mansion of course and in Adventureland BTMRR for sure...love to go on it, after all it's the wildest ride in the wilderness YEE-HA!
I have to agree with the Haunted Mansion, when we went years ago, Noelle told us that one of the hitchhiking ghosts had decided to come to lunch with us, and she held hands with him the whole way.
As for Adventureland, I have to go with The Swiss Family Treehouse, but I'm goofy that way.
When ever Nina heads out to the kitchen, I've taken to impersonating the "Hurry Baa-ak" in the creepy little girl voice. She finds it less amusing each time.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Haunted Mansion! Splash scares the crap out of me, but it's my dd's favorite, so we have to go on it! I scream every time!
I think I'd have to say Haunted Mansion and Big Thunder, but I've never been on Splash Mountain... and I refuse to ride in December, so it'll be some time before I get on it!
Though there really isn't much choice in Liberty Square, is there? I went and looked it up because I was sure I had missed something, but nope! Haunted Mansion, Hall of Presidents, Liberty Belle. Exciting! Though I don't know what else they could add in that space and there's nothing really theme-y that could be put in. I wouldn't want a Pocahontas ride (still bitter about that one) and Haunted Mansion kind of tops Ichabod Crane. Maybe a bigger Princess and the Frog presence?
So....catching up on the 30-day challenge. Here are my picks:
Day 1 - Favorite Park: I feel so disloyal to the other parks saying this but....I have to say Epcot overall. WS is one of my absolute favorite places on earth. I'm smiling just thinking about it! MK does come in a very close second though. It doesn't feel like I've been to Disney until I walk down Main Street!
Day 2 - Favorite Land in MK: Fantasyland! Mostly because of the expressions of sheer bliss I've seen on my children and now grandchildren's faces when we're there!
Day 3 - Favorite Attraction in Tomorrowland: Tied between COP and TTA Peoplemover. No explanation needed, right?
Day 4 - Favorite Attraction in Fantasyland: Another tie between Mickey's Philharmagic and It's A Small World (love Disneyland's version of this one).
Day 5 - Favorite Attraction in Liberty Square: Hall of Presidents (I think the Audio-Animatronics in this attraction are amazing. It feels like they're almost real!) Followed closely by the Haunted Mansion, of course!
Day 6 - Favorite Attraction in Frontierland: I would love to say Splash Mountain but I can't! I haven't been on that ride in so many years mostly due to the fact that we go in Jan-Feb and it's just too cold to tempt me to get on! So, I guess I'd say Tom Sawyer Island. A great "off the beaten path" place to visit!
Now I'm caught up and enjoying reading everyone's responses to your challenge. It's a really good way to get my daily Disney fix!
