I posted two days ago, asking people whether they would choose MGM or the AK if they had to choose, as I'm not sure if I'll be able to visit them both if (most likely "when") I go in October. I've never been to either one. I'm still up in the air about it. Here's my thinking so far:
I do enjoy thrill rides, and my mom and I have the understanding that I'll go on rides that just don't suit her (thus I'll be riding alone). MGM has two awesome-sounding thrill rides. (The notion of the elevator drop on the Tower of Terror, by the way, freaks me out far more than the notion of riding a roller coaster. Very few roller coasters bother me.) There are other rides as well that I've wanted to try for years--Star Tours, The Great Movie Ride (as I have a good knowledge of classic movies), and Muppets 4D (which my mom and I would both get a huge kick out of). I've wanted to go to this park longer, simply because it has been in existence longer, and I've been reading about it since I was ten. There are also a couple of attractions there whose days seems numbered.
On the other hand, we both love animals as well. While the individual attractions at MGM sound more exciting to me, the AK sounds more attractive overall. It sounds like a beautiful park. While I appreciate thrill rides--and the AK does have those as well--I can also love more sedate endeavors, such as strolling along and watching animals. The animals would also provide my mom with more to do while I'm on thrill rides.
I suppose that I can catch whatever one I miss on another trip in the not-too-distant future. There's also the possibility that I can see them both through creative time management. (I'm working on this.) But for now...argh! I'm getting obsessive...can't you tell?
Well, WDW has been an obsession of mine since I was ten. I've know a good deal about it through reading guide books and through the internet. As I mentioned in the previous post, I've only been to the MK briefly on a school trip, and I've been longing for nearly ten years to visit WDW following my own agenda, more or less. The "or less" part in this instance is because my mom and I can lodge for free at the hotel where my best friend will be staying for business, so we need to work with his schedule. I haven't excluded the possibility of paying for one night at a hotel in order to give us an extra day.
All right, enough rambling for now. I just want to get as much out of this trip as I can without being in too much of a rush. I'll let you folks know how it turns out.
