wow 11 weeks..seems like time is flying now.

dad just called me today wanting to know how much cash he needed to take, what he needed to pack and all kinds of info. i think hes ready for this trip now so getting my head back into vacation mode now. told him to give me a week to get everything together as i have all the info i just need to get it organized and confirmed and he will have all the info and then some.

hope everyone has a good easter tomorrow. my daughter is driving me nuts with wanting to put carrots out for the easter bunny tonite and hoping he brings her this and that and also trying to talk me into getting her a nintendo ds if the easter bunny doesnt bring her one. like she didn't get enough for her birthday earlier this month

Now that we are getting closer to cruising I thought it might be nice to get to know each other better. We've done this on a few other cruise meet threads in the past and they are fun. So today's question is:



Which Disney parks have you been too and which is your favorite ride/attraction in each?

My answers:

Disneyland - The Original Tiki Room (with Indiana Jones a close second)

California Adventure - Soarin'

Magic Kingdom (WDW) - Pirates of the Caribbean

EPCOT - Illuminations (ok so it isn't a ride or attraction but it is still my favorite).

Hollywood Studios - Toy Story Mania

Animal Kingdom - Safari




So what are you favorites????







PDFG and all our friends who need it.
