Thanks for that wonderful story! I can relate. Me (Dad) and DS6 went on Expedition Everest 1st time in December. I don't know why we waited so long.... he went on Tower of Terror at age 4. I'm not crazy about thrill rides either. But we loved Expedition Everest! Went again right away. It was the next step after BTMRR, Space Mtn, and Splash Mtn. Except for that backward dip in the dark... EE is pretty reasonable.
