Shhhh! Our secret spot is over by Casey Jr. train and the Village Haus restaurant. It's always virtually empty of people, but still a terrific view with full audio. We ended up there because that's where they had Tink's "mattress" (now obstructed from view by trees) -- the little wooden structure with padding that she would "whump!" into after flying down from the Matterhorn. They would always turn the spotlight off before she hit, but just hearing that sound was a blast. We go there now out of habit, and because it's empty and peaceful.
