Riverside is wonderfull! Peacefull, beautiful, could be romantic and still fun for kids and kids at heart. The boat ride to Downtown Disney was great. The pools are fun and the fishing hole is a fun idea for kids. I will be going back. (someday)
I thing that an Indiana Jones Ride would only fit at MGM studios. But something different like boat ride similar to splash Mnt. and special effects like Dinosaur. I could be placed near the stunt show. A new story line could be created for the ride and then the stunt show could be changed to...
I think the security checks are a good thing. Building something more permanent will at least help it blend in better with everything else more then the white tents did. As for the water, My wife and I each carried a 20oz bottle that was wraped in an insulated covering clipped to our belts...
dvd
I ordered the dvd from the web site and receive one about a week later then a second dvd a few days after that. Not much new. I recognized several items identical to the previous video, but it was still fun to watch! I wish they would spend more time showing more of each hotel.
The best place for all three MK events is right in front of the flag pole on main street. Nothing captures the Magic better then seeing it all with main street and the castle in view. Truly breath taking. Fantasmic depends on how soon you arrive. We sat in the center about 1/3 of the way up...
I would recomend carrying a bottle of water (buy it before you leave, it's cheaper that way) that you can re-fill throughout the day. It is worth it if it is really hot. Also, take a break in the afternoon and change your socks. We went in April and we returned to our room at the P.O...
My favorite part would have to be the cast members and the overall atmosphere at night. I especially like that the ride wait time was set at 13 minutes even when there was no wait! (maybe it is lucky!) Also the graveyard scene is great.
When I was there last month we watched from the bridge next to the Mexico pavilion and restraunt. It was a great view plus we could see some of the fireworks from the Fantasmic show off in the distance just before the show started.
Sounds Dangerous is a one time deal. It's only good for sitting in the air conditioning, and maybe not even worth that! Also, the Tiki room and Country bears is fun once but that's about it.
Night time is the most magical. Main street and the Castle lights are breath taking. Unfortunatly the Magic Kingdom is only open late one of the 6 days when we are going. Can't wait for the fireworks. Only 10 more days to my "Happy Place"!!!
