Top 5 Rides

[daver]

It has been awhile since i did this.... Give me your top 5 rides at WDW. I used to do top 3 but there are more rides now and People struggle to narrow it down to 3...lol

Here's mine in no particular order:

Pirates of the Caribbean .... how could I not pick it.
Mission Space
Big Thunder
Splash Mountain
Expedition Everest

and you??

 

[Donald - my hero]

Haunted Mansion ---D'uh, "hurry back, hurry baaaack"
Pirates --yo-ho a Pirate's Life for me
Figment --even though the original was much better, I still need me some purple winged guy
Toy Story Mania --brand new to us once FP+ was introduced since we are NOT rope drop people - ain't waiting for anything for more than 30 minutes!
Carousel of Progress --dorky? YES but since it's one of the only rides that Walt actually worked on it's a must... oh and according to hubby, excellent nap spot

Sadly what was hubby's #1 ride (to the point that we adjusted our trip last year to ride it before it shut for refurb) SOARIN ... now? OMG, terrible effects unless you manage to sit in row B-1. I would recommend asking for that row even if you need to wait otherwise you will see the Eiffel Tower do a pretty amazing imitation of the Leaning Tower of Pisa

For me:


Haunted Mansion
Splash Mountain
Indiana Jones ( DL)
Toy Story Midway Mania
Soarin

 

[AngelDisney]

TSMM (my most favourite)
Tower of Terror (DD's most fav)
K. Safari
Test Track
Splash Mountain

Most favourite:
Crush Coaster (DLP)
Best Disney ride ever! You feel like one of the turtles spinning in the current. Only got to ride it twice. Line after rope drop is 2 hours plus. We were there 2 full day plus the arrival afternoon.

Haunted Mansion - Disney wouldn't be Disney without this one!
Pirates of Caribbean - It's just so cool!
Soarin - Love the feeling and the smells.
Carousel of Progress - It takes me back in time and I feel so relaxed in there.
It's a Small World - It's just so adorable, and we sing the song
