My Favorite WDW Disney Things 1. Visiting the Castle! |
Favorite Rides
Space Mountain: I love sitting in the six-single seater spaceship and be sent into outer space. The ride is in complete darkness and has many hills and turns. The best place to sit is in front!MK
The Haunted Mansion: I feel this one grew on me over time. I once didn't like the ride, but going through it many times, I grew to like the characters and music. Now it's been updated and I enjoy the ghouls and ghosts even more then before! MK
Rock'n' Roller Coaster: This is a trip through Hollywood with Aerosmith music blasting behind you! It's dark and there are a few loops! The first time I went on this stretch limo roller coaster, I had an amazing time! It's one you don't want to miss! DHS
The Great Movie Ride: I love the feeling of being part of a movie, and in this ride you get to live through some classics! I enjoy going through this ride every time! DHS
Test Track: I love being part of the automobile testing! You go through snake pin turns, you climb up hills and get to go top speed on the outside track! It's an awesome adventure! ET
Kilimanjaro Safaris: This ride you get to be part of an expedition through African savannah. I love seeing all the animals grazing right in front of me! It really makes you feel like your in the middle of African wildlife! AK
Expedition Everest: This is a roller coaster through Everest and you really need to watch out for the Yedi! There are tons of turns, drops and action around every corner on this mountain. It really keeps you on the edge of your seats! AK
Journey Into Imagination with Figment: I don't care how old I get...this ride will never get boring to me! I always come out singing the song and knowing all my senses! Plus I love Figment!:) ET
DINOSAUR: This is my stepsons favorite ride. He loves dinosaurs and enjoyed being in a time rover as we went back in time to see these creatures! He also loved getting his picture with all the dinosaurs outside the ride.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train: A wonderful coaster that makes you feel you are really flying through a mine with the seven dwarfs. The ride is so smooth. Now the ride normally has a wait, but there are games to play while in line that are enjoyable. It's a most ride for the whole family!
Under the Sea - Journey with the Little Mermaid: If you love the Finding Nemo ride over at Epcot then you will love the adventure you will take with Ariel and her friends. I loved being part of my favorite childhood movie!

The resort is huge, lots of pools to pick from, the grounds around the area is so green and beautiful. It's a lovely resort!
Pop Century Resort: I just loved the fun pools and the choices of food stations at this resort. Each building has a character, I was in lady from Lady and the Tramp when I stayed! I loved the pool we had for it was a bowling pin! It was fun and my step son Sam loved it too!
