I've Been To MK Many Times And Still

[DISUNC]

In 30 years and 15+ trips...NEVER did Tom Sawyers Island...this will soon be rectified!

Also, Never saw the parade @ AK

Also Everytime I go to Epcot....there are always NEW things I NEVER did or saw...and they been there all along.....so spending more time there on this trip.

How could you go to the MK and never do HM???

I've done Astro Orbiter - and I would never wait more than five minutes for it again. Just not a big deal. On the other hand, I always, always go on TTA! There's never a line and you get to sit down for a few minutes. It's a good break.

I have not done Astro either, for the same reason, one day I will, I liked to do it at night though. I did Dumbo in 1973 and haven't been on since, does that count? Other than that I think I have done everything at least once in the last 10 years. Oh wait, Aladdin, and I have no desire to do that either.

How did you miss all that? Have you even *been* to the parks?
You should definately put a dent in the list this Aug!

Astro Orbiter
Tiki Room
Jungle Cruise
Liberty Square Riverboat

Stitch's Great Escape, but last time I was there, it wasn't opened yet, so I don't know if that counts.

Sorry just my opinion, but you're not missing much.

 

[Tinkerbellmom33]

We've never done:

Jungle Cruise
Tom Sawyer Island
Liberty Square River Boat
AND...Splash Mountain!! This one we're definitely doing this trip and hopefully the Jungle Cruise.

We did Astro Orbitor on our first trip and I hated it. I'm terrified of heights and my "Ds" kept us up the whole time!!!!

Well, all the midway-type rides at MK (e.g., Tea Cups, Dumbo, etc.) I've never really been interested in. Some of the stuff on the list hasn't ever been open on any of my trips, either because they weren't open yet period (Soarin', M:S, Maelstrom in '88), they were being rehabbed (Maelstrom in '02), or they are seasonal, and weren't open when I was there last (Timekeeper).

Now, as for the Mountains, ToT, and RnR, well, the first three times I went to the World, I was with my parents, who were definite coaster chickens (come to think of it, so was I ), and when I went in '02, I was with DW who is a phenomenally huge coaster chicken... and, come to think of it, it had been a few years since I had been on a coaster, myself. So we (well, I) didn't do 'em that trip.

And, finally, as for the nighttime stuff, well, we stayed offsite and got to the parks as soon as they opened, and I didn't feel like driving back and forth to the parks a couple times each day, so we didn't see any of these.

But, let me tell you, next month, we're staying on property for the first time, and I WILL rectify the situation!!

I've been to WDW 5 times since 1996. I have yet to ride Test Track because the lines are always soooo long. I also haven't rode ToT or RnRC simply out of fear. I am determined to ride all of them when I go later this month.
