Making list of rides I couldn't do with my kids...and recruiting participants!

[3kids4me]

Okay, this is my one big chance to go to WDW and get on all the rides and do all the things that my kids wouldn't have the patience or be too young or too scared for. And....I need someone to go with me on each of these rides/activities. Here's what I have so far:

Who Wants to be a Millionaire (yes, not a ride, but you get the idea)

Tower of Terror (no one would do this with me last trip)

Aerosmith Rockin' Roller Coaster (or whatever it's called)

Having sushi in Japan at Epcot

Anything in Animal Kingdom (haven't been there) - need suggestions

Splash Mountain (well, I've been on this with my kids, but I want to go again about five times)

Anything involving Playhouse Disney or the Dumbo Ride will be strictly off-limits!!

So, if you can think of anything else or are willing to accompany me on one of these rides, please let me know!!

P.S. I'm leaving "serious pin hunting" off this list because I'm thinking I won't have too many problems finding a partner for that!!

Yesh,
Someone to ride R&R and TOT with me. Sharon I can't wait, Leslie and Cynthia don't ride those things.
AK has a great dark ride, Dinosaur which is a bumpy fun ride, and the Trek is fun. If it is hot, which I doubt...lol we can go on the water ride in AK, and of course Tough to be a Bug ("were pollinators...")
I will have to pass on the Sushi thing though, I don't like Japanese food. You will have to look for Leslie for that activity.
But don't forget my favorite ride It's a Small World After All, It's a Small World After All, It's a Small World After All, A Small Small World. (my Speedo theme song) Peggie

Sharon,

Make sure you ride Kilimanjaro Safaris, Kali River Rapids and Primevil Whirl at AK too

 

[Joanne]

Hi Sharon,

We invite you to attend Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and watch Randy try to get in the hot seat again. He's a bit obsessed. Anyone want to trade for some WWTBAM pins?

We forgot to tell you the plan - arrive in Orlando, stop at DD to get the annual passes then on to MGM for WWTBAM. Time permitting of course. Hotel? You wanted to check in at your hotel?

-- Joanne

 

[taysalyn]

i have a hopper pass but with one day left. which i will be using on Saturday. i will be willing to ride anything with you at MGM, MK, or Epcot if you are willing to go to different parks. otherwise, whatever park we meet at, i will ride with ya.

what about the Exterterrestrial (sp?) ride and Buzz lightyear at MK? oh and the thunder mountain railroad, the haunted mansion, space mountian, and whatever else pops up!

i'm all for it, Sharon!!!

 

[atlnewf]

I have to hit the Rock N Roller Coaster too while I'm there. I'd love to try Millionaire (my husband wouldn't try it, my kids wouldn't sit for it). I missed Splash Mountain because my son was too little (everyone else rode), so I wouldn't mind that one either. Personally, I want RNR, Space Mountain, etc. About the only thing I won't try is Tower of Terror.. I hate heights.

You really should go to Millionaire with my daughter, Lauren. We've gone twice, once in DL last year, and once at WDW this year, and she got into the Hot Seat both times. She really has that Fast Finger thing down pat! Maybe she'll share her secret with you. It's a good thing she made it. She was determined to stay there all day if she had to.

 

[Buzz2001]

I just type a predetermined set of letters...CABD... and that's how I got on. I didn't even read the question.

 

[Talking Hands]

You can go to WWTBAM with me and see this deafie try to get in the hotseat. Sunday.
Also will be glad to go war sushi with you any day or everyday. I'm a sushi nut

 

[Mickey527]

Ok, did I leave anything out??? Peggie

 

[Dom13]

Peggie, how could you forget the Haunted Mansion!?! One of my 3 favorite rides! Alien Encounter and Buzz Lightyear being the other 2. Of course I have to do the animation tour when ever possible during a trip and absolutely must stop buy the Villains store . Then there is the second teir, Star Tours, Cranium Command, Pirates, Kilamangaro Safari, Journey to Imagination (which is MUCH better but could have used a little more animation in the Figment's house scene), and Fantasmic!

 

[3kids4me]

Sounds good...even though my husband calls "It's a small world" by its alternate name: "It's a long world..."

I've done Body Wars so I'm happy to replace it with Star Tours, wherever (or whatever) that is!! I'm just happy to have company!!

 

[JamesD]

Sharon, I would love to go to the Who Wants to be a Millionare? show with you and some of the other board members. I've got a little experience playing the game, and I will help out as much as I can. It's much more fun to go with a group and cheer each other on!
We would also love to go on a thrill ride tour during the pin event week. We are game for almost any attraction (except the dreaded It's a Small World!)
If last year is any indication though, we didn't have much time for attractions during the actual pin event. Maybe this year won't be as crazy!

 

[3kids4me]

I'm so glad to have all this company!! Now, how are we going to recognize each other? Well, I'll be the one trying to cut up other people's food for them at the breakfast without thinking....

 

[BeautyLLM]

They have rides at Disney World??

 

[Mickey527]

Dom,
I didn't forget HM, I just figured she wanted to do things that she couldn't take the tiny figures on. It's not fun doing the baby swap, half your vacation is waiting in the back room for the other one to get off the ride.
And I love Spectromagic, but I think Jeff and Lauree will be planning most of our evening entertainment so I skipped those. But I would like to see Illuminations.... Peggie

 

[3kids4me]

Yes, my kids have all been on HM. Actually all of them were bored on it! (Did I just hear a big gasp?) In the middle of it, my three year old asked "When is this going to be over?"...lol!! OTOH, they all loved Buzz Lightyear and even my son thought the Winnie the Pooh ride was cute. I've been on Space Mountain with the older two, Body Wars with my son, and Splash Mountain with everyone. Rides I was not able to do, due to lack of appropriate company: Alien Encounter, Tower of Terror, Rockin Roller Coaster, WWTBAM, everything at Animal Kingdom (because we didn't make it there that day). And I was not able to eat any sushi in Japan. Can you believe that none of my kids will eat sushi? What have I done wrong?

Looking forward to anything you are all up for!!

 

[mouseman68]

There is no one better to ride the Tower of Terror ride than with Randy. He makes the ride...

We go on all rides and do anything!!!!!!! We love to go one with people that have never been on before.

Give us a ringy dingy and we will do Sushi for lunch.

 

[Talking Hands]

Wasy to recognize me. Short and plump in a purple power wheelchair that has a lime green backpack on the back with the name Lisa. Easy enough?

 

[3kids4me]

Anyone who wants to take this excursion with me, please do me a favor and send me a note letting me know where you are staying, and giving me your last name. I will call every one of you and we can plan to meet for whatever you are up for!

My e-mail in IntlgntLfe@aol.com. I'm getting in on Thursday afternoon, if Randy and Joanne let me go to my hotel...lol!! I'm at AS Music. Peggie, no need to send me a note, as I'll be dragging you along with me whether you like it or not!!
