I'm in! And the first one to post! :thumbsup2

Firstly, you need to change the Giants to the Patriots and the Yankees to the Red Sox, as well as Justin Bieber to someone not Justin Bieber on your favorite things ;) And... didn't you say you haven't been on Splash Mountain before? Oh well... can't wait to hear what you are planning! :goodvibes

Firstly Giants are way better than Patriots. (:
Secondly,the Yankees beat the Red Sox :D
Thirdly,I only thought of Justin Bieber xD
Fourthy,I haven't been on Space Mountain before. I didn't get to go on Splash Mountain last year.

Since I felt that you guys needed to know whether or not I'm a Disney Parks fan,I'm going to tell you my top ten favorite attractions at MK.

Top 10 Favorite Attractions At Magic Kingdom
10. Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management
TIKI_1_998.jpg

As much as I despise this show,I like the tiki goddess. I still hope that this show is gone forever (:

9. Peter Pan's Flight

I haven't been on this in years. I didn't like it as a kid. I might like it now,but we usually ignore it on our trips.

8. Tomorrowland Speedway
2803211302_5c73515ba8.jpg

As much as I like the Tomorrowland Speedway,I still think that it doesn't belong in Tomorrowland. It's fun to be the driver (:

7. Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor
MILAUGH_1_998.jpg

Always a delight to see! I love when they say,"THAT GUY." xD

6. Mickey's Philharmagic

5. Haunted Mansion
Express-Monorail-2.jpg

I've always loved this attraction! <3

3. Country Bear Jamboree
CountryBearJamboree_Poster3.png

On early trips,we've never gone into Country Bear Jamboree because we thought it was closed,but last year my mom dragged me in and I loved it <3 I'm making sure I drag my parents into it this year!

2. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
IMG_2763.JPG

Another favorite of momma and I! Last year we went on it about 5 times beacause it was only a 5 minute wait! :D So worth it!

1. Splash Mountain & Carousel of Progress
Splash+Mountain+Sign.jpg

I love traveling to the ol' Briar Patch and finding my Laughing Place <3

COP2.jpg

THERE'S A GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW <3 Such a classic,I never skip!
 
RESORT TIME! I've been deciding on a few resorts. I need my parents to decide on one.

1. Contemporary
Disneys-contemporary-resort.jpg

This is where I want to stay! My daddy suggested this one and I hope my momma approves (:

2. Pop Century
Disney%27s_Pop_Century_Resort_45627_0_09022006_2209089218_500.jpg

I've stayed there most of my Disney trips and loved it <3 It's probably the best value resorts and it has good food (:

3. Caribbean Beach
disney-caribbean-beach-lg.jpg

I went there as a little girl,but I'm hoping in the future that I can stay there (:

4. Yacht & Beach Club
disney_yacht_and_beach_club2_large.jpg

I've heard that it's a lovely place to stay and EPCOT is really close (:
 
We finally decided that we're leaving June 27th - July 8th and staying at....

*drum roll*

DISNEY'S CARIBBEAN BEACH! :D Can't wait!

Have fun! I can't believe you are staying for 12 DAYS! Lucky! That's double my first trip and more than I've done in two. Definitely take pictures of Caribbean Beach, I may change my mind about the top 3 resorts for my trip. :mickeyjum
 
Hi Val

UNM is your 10th favorite attraction!? Interesting, that deserves a spit-take ;)

Have fun at CBR!
 
Top 10 favorite attractions at EPCOT time! EPCOT is very limited on rides and I'm a Retrocot fan so I'm very judgemental. lol.

Top 10 Favorite Attractions at EPCOT
10. Maelstrom
Epcot_Maelstrom_entrance_sign.jpg

I like dark rides as much as the next person,but I don't like this attraction much except for the polar bears. (:

9. American Adventure
AMADV_1_998.jpg

I only saw this show once and it was okay. Not in my top 8 but some parts were good. I have mixed feelings about this like Hall of Presidents.

8. Grand Fiesta Tour
grand-fiesta-350.jpg

I like The Three Caballeros,but putting them in a ride in Mexico doesn't make any sense. I like the ending where Panchito and Jose try to beat up Donald xD

7. The Seas With Nemo & Friends
Sea-With-Nemo-and-Friends-780057.jpg

The ride is cute and Turtle Talk with Crush (:

6. Universe of Energy
UOE_1_998.jpg

I don't like Ellen,but I love the dinosaurs and the ride is fun (:

5. Journey into Imagination with Figment
JOURIMAG_1_998.jpg

I am a die-hard Figment fan :D I'm not a Nigel Channing fan (:

4. Living With The Land
2976078058_a0bd00c84f.jpg

I love this ride. A favorite of mine as a kid (:

3.Spaceship Earth
spaceship-earth-sign-400.jpg

I love Spaceship Earth <3 Never gets old.

2. Test Track
testtrack.jpg

I went on this for the first time last year and loved it <3

1. Soarin'
soarin1.jpg

Even though this attraction replaced one of my favorite Retrocot attractions,it's still my #1 favorite at EPCOT! <3
 
I'm guessing after this I'm the only one who likes Test Track more than Soarin'. I'm also happy to see someone else enjoys Living With The Land. I don't know why I like that ride, but you can watch it from the Garden Grill, as it spins, and I just enjoyed it. I can't wait to hear about more of your favorites as there is only two more parks left :)

Update soon! :goodvibes

Momma,Stephanie,and I at PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER! :D


Sorry,no Caribbean Beach this year! But hopefully in the future I'll be able to stay! Tell me your opinions about these resorts! Were these good choices to stay at?

Keep reading and tuning in for more shocking news!

~Valerie
 
Wow, I hope you have fun down there! Definitely tell me how POFQ is. I heard people prefer it to PORS, but I like the look and feel of Riverside better than French Quarter, but that's just pictures. And I can't believe you are going before I end school and going to be down there after I leave. *jealous*
 
Thank you Timmy :goodvibes

I heard PORS is close to POFQ. I hope to take pictures of it! (: I get out of school around June 17th,so it's good that we're going the week after school ends! I'm going to have tons of fun,especially cause my grandparents and uncle are going to tag along. My uncle is going to do his own thing lol.
 
Congrats Val! Staying at 2 resorts must be fun! I love the Pop!!!
 
Many of my friends on here wanted to hear about my trip to Washington D.C.,so I decided to!

The trip started in the afternoon of a Wednesday. I had a half day at school,but mom and dad wanted to take me out of school a little earlier. So after Science class was over,I met my parents in the parking lot and we were on our way to D.C.!

A couple of hours went by and I knew we were in D.C. when I saw this
207432_205442382822779_100000710573792_638167_7254256_n.jpg


Then,we arrived at our hotel
217058_205442466156104_100000710573792_638170_4026300_n.jpg


Dad had to go park the rental car in the parking garage,so mom and I waiting for him in the lobby. Mom couldn't wait no more,so she decided to check in and dad finally arrived to pay for the rest.

We finally got to room on the 11th floor! The last floor!!

The view was glorious!

We even saw a tour bus go by. Ah,Tourists...
206296_205442956156055_100000710573792_638177_7422557_n.jpg


We wanted to go to the Air & Space Museum. So after we unpacked,dad found a taxi driver and drove us to the museum!

Dad's Airplane,Capitol at Night,and Rockin' it at Johnny Rockets/Part 2 of D.C. Trip coming soon!
 
Val, I am super jealous you get to stay 12 days! I would kill to do that. I <3 Big Thunder Mountain, too. It is actually my favorite ride. Can't get enough.

Washington DC looks great so far. I had a great time when I went. It was no Disney, but still fun.
