I love parades, and wishes makes me cry

I find world showcase boring at times

Magic kingdom holds a special place in my heart

 

[Chaoticsweetness]

I love this idea

-I miss singing at the Candlelight Processional (its been 4 years) so I go every year at Christmas time & sing along with every song!

-I would never set foot on EE

-I have no idea what Rope drop is

-I use to be scared to death of Space mountain til I went on it for the first time 2 years ago, now its on my fave list

-I love watching the Epcot Fountain of Nations, I could stand in front of it forever & not get bored, last time sadly the fountain was being refurbished =/

-AK is boring

-I don't like how they changed MGM to Hollywood Studios, it sounds stupid

-I miss Pleasure Island

-I hate ToT

-Maelstrom is my favorite ride in Epcot

-I hate when the characters come up to me, they annoy me

-I wish they would give Ariel & Pocahontas the attention they deserve & what about Mulan, Esmeralda & all the forgotten princesses?

-Iago has an annoying voice & I think he was a bad choice for the Enchanted Tiki Room

-I feel like a little kid every time I go to WDW no matter the park

-I have no idea what Rope drop is

A rope drop is the opening of the gates at the Magic Kingdom. Kind of like a mini Broadway musical and Anthony Robbins style pump-you-up motivation session. The setting is the Main Street Train Station. A bunch of dancers in turn of the (last) century costumes do a song and dance, the Mayor of Main Street gives a speech and the train pulls up with those characters that creep you out on board for more song and dance. Confetti, music, sound effects, a few words from Mickey and...rope drop.

Happens about ten minutes before the park opens. Waaay early for a lot of people. I like it because the crowd watching is second to none. Hard core DISers, Japanese Goths in elaborate costumes, little kids overdosing on expectation and workaholic broker types frantically texting the final Blackberry message before the family pulls them into limbo.

The park is relatively empty at that hour, and you can check out the fresh work of the gardeners and crafts people done by halogen light while you slept.

Not a must do ritual, but as a one-off up there with going to an auction at the Tokyo fish market and checking out the balloon staging area at the Macy's parade.

-I wish they would give Ariel & Pocahontas the attention they deserve & what about Mulan, Esmeralda & all the forgotten princesses?

I think Ariel gets plenty of attention. Disney parks are full of Little Mermaid-themed attractions, merchandise, and influences.

Pocahontas is a chief's daughter, Mulan is a military hero, and Esmeralda is a gypsy; technically they're not princesses. I suppose "Princess" is a Disney marketing euphemism for "female protagonist."

 

[lexandme]

I'm so over Tinkerbell. She's turned into something she was never meant to be.
I think all of the princess' are over exposed.
I listen to "Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride" every morning on my IPOD on the bus going into town because it puts me in a good mood.
I love Donald the most even though I can't understand a word he says!

Here's my husband's shameful secret - He is madly in love with Jessica Rabbit! Don't even tell him she is animated!

I am off of work today and tomorrow because the G-20 Summit is being held in Pittsburgh and it's too difficult and potentially dangerous to go into downtown. My plan is to go to the new Disney Store and shop as well as watch as many Disney movies as I can!

 

[Kennywife]

Here's mine:

I like Disney 2D, not this 3D Pixar stuff. The only Pixar movies I like are Cars and Ratatouille. Count me among the others who do not like Stitch.

I love Tinkerbell! I would get a tattoo of her on my shoulder if I were brave enough!

I love everything Mickey.

I prefer DL to WDW

I love riding Splash Mountain and POTC 20 times each!

Love IASW!

Hate COP. So does hubby. It's so boring. Last time I rode it, my hubby and I were on our honeymoon. Let's just say neither of us remember most of it.

I don't care for AK, except to see the Animals and to ride Kali. The food there is much to be desired.

I love World Showcase! I like to try the drinks from the different pavillions and bring home a trinket from each place.

That's all I can think of for now.

I don't like cartoons.

Seriously.

I've been fascinated by the Disney Parks and the whole philosophy and ideology of the company for as long as I can remember (and been a card carrying member of the Disney Dorks for more than a decade) but ask me to sit down and watch a Disney Cartoon (or sorry.... animated feature) and quite frankly, I'd rather watch paint dry.

Most folks who know me are aware of my fascination with Disney but very few know of my complete intolerance of cartoons.

 

[Damfino]

My guilty secrets are that I think WDW is wasted on anyone under 5 years old.

I plan my next trip before I've even been on the one I've booked for.

Everytime I go on POTC I can't help doing an 'Arr me 'earties' accent as soon as I go under the sign.

I have never been on Dumbo and never plan too either.

Going solo is the best way to go.

 

[BlovesC]

-I love pineapple, I LOVE ice cream, yet I dislike the Dole Whip. I think it's sickeningly sweet!

-I love fireworks and shows, but I don't like parades, especially when I'm trapped by them!

 

[Ona]

-I love fireworks and shows, but I don't like parades, especially when I'm trapped by them!

Haa haa haa! I'm so with you on that one BlovesC.

Nothing worse at WDW for me than walking under the MK Train Station and realising......"Oh noooo! It's 2.50pm and I'm trying to get to Haunted Mansion! Why oh why didn't I think about that?"

 

[auralia]

I like disney land more than disney world.

 

[smylie1]

This is REALLY bad considering I'm a teacher....but I don't like the overly educational attractions. Are they intresting? Sure. Will I spend anymore time on them? Nope.

 

[Princess Janay]

I hated Epcot for about 18 years lol. Now that im 21 and can legally drink Its not so bad.

I scream louder then all the kids when Mulan shows up.

I despise Animal Kingdom with all my heart.

I've never been on The TeaCup Ride

I've spent More than a grand at the bibbidi bobbidi boutique . . . . On myself

 

[A-Jay]

I'm in,

I don't like the parades or shows, I'd like to burn down Pooh and bring back Mr. Toad. I hate Stich. I get a tear in my eye when I step into the Mk for the first time. Lots of good memories all at once.

 

[delaneyc52]

I absolutely hate the Disney Buses. I'll take the Ferry, the Monorail and the good Lord willing have money for a rental car....but I so hate the Disney buses. Excpetion is Magical Express which is just a luggage free wonderful experience.

 

[flying_babyb]

Ive only rode 5 rides!
Buzz
Small world
Pirates
snow white
caursol

 

[RoraBorieAlice]

I don't like AK and have only been once.
I have never seen Lilo & Stitch because Stitch just wierds me out and I have no desire to watch a whole movie of him!
Eventhough I have a Princess named after me(after me of COURSE) I am SICK and TIRED of all the Princess stuff.....and the fact that they dont include all the Disney Girls in everything! Mulan deserves the spotlight just as much if not moore then Cinderella......
My Hubster hates Disney. He enjoys a trip to EPCOT but Disney just isnt in his blood!
I have stayed at the Grand Floridian and Contemporary but would wrather stay at Caribbean Beach or the Old Port Orleans Any Day!!!!!

 

[honeydiane1953]

I hate STITCH and PARADES. I have never tried a DOLE WHIP. I don't ever want to stay in a value resort. BUT the last most awful guilt is the last time I was in WDW i LEFT 19 snacks yes 19!!!!! I THINK I NEED TO GO TO THERAPY FOR THIS!!!!!! I didn't understand the Dining Plan and I can't get this out of my mind. And i think the CM's SOMEWHERE could have told me. Next month I plan to go solo and will pay OOP for snacks just to TRY and make myself feel better lol Just putting money back in the mouse's hands. I need help with my mistake. Any Disney support groups specializing in LEAVING SNACKS!!!!

 

[Dis_Yoda]

• Never understood the rush for Dumbo
• Never understood the love of Dole Whips
• Le Cellier Cheese Soup is not good for anything but a dip
• Buffets creep me out, but I'm still going to one in December @ Opening
• I'm making a scrapbook/notebook for my Dec trip when I need to daze off from work for a few minutes. I'm hoping it will be great for jotting down all my info about my trip.

 

[MarylandPirate]

I despise Stitch and want the Alien Encounter to return.
