We just got back from our first WDW trip. Wow! cannot wait for the next one! Disney does this so well!! - My favourite ride of all the parks was Tower Of Terror - Before we went I said no way, too scary for me - OMG it was so much fun, we did it over and over using fastpasses - terrific fun! Another favourite that surprised me was the Finding Nemo show at Animal Kingdom. That was brilliant! Live actors with the characters suspended on sticks with hand controls to make the facial features and tails move - in and out of the audience, suspended above the stage, all brilliantly done and so sweet, I cried! - were you surprised by an unexpected favourite activity?

Glad you had a great time! Thinking back to my first trip I was most taken aback by the level of theming, from tiny little adverts in cabinets to the detailing in the Expedition Everest queue. I instantly fell in love with Disney World and became extremely protective of it when people questionned why I would want to go.
The biggest love I have in the parks is definitely the fireworks. We just don't do fireworks like that in England - it blew my mind that shows like that can be done night after night!

Yay! It's nice to hear that you enjoyed your first, and here's to many more to come!
And those are two of my favorites as well.

Congratulations, you have become one of US! Now Disney will consume your every waking moment, you will be counting days like never before, seeking out the next thing you want to do. And you will be saving those pennies and dollar bills desperately so going back to explore the world will happen sooner than later.
I also was pleasantly surprised by the performance of the Finding Nemo show, so much that we retuned to see it another day. It's a highlight that I tell friends not to miss at AK.
I have always counted ToT as a favorite and ride it as often as I can.

I wasn't sure if I had gone upside down either! Luckily no one told me in advance or I would have been too scared to try it.

One of my sons rode my favorite w/ me - T of T. HE ALMOST CHICKENED OUT. Now he's not really sure if he wants to ride it again!

Glad you had an awesome time! It is magical in so many ways....
I am trying to figure out how I can go back again within a year....it is depressing to think I won't be there for that long.

Took me years to get my DH on ToT. Now it's one of his favorites. Glad you didn't wait to try it! Now get planning your next trip!
Absolutely! I did RNR (only once but I did it!) and loved EE - did that a few times - Space Mountain was fine, BTMRR was fun, I was a total kid again for a whole week.
We will definitely be coming back but that 13 hour flight from Sydney to LA then the layover before another 5 hour flight to Orlando is so exhausting! But so worth it - this was my 50th birthday present - I hope I can do this every year until the legs give out!

Glad you had a great first visit! I too, just rode TOT for the first time on my trip in June...I was really scared at first, but then all I could do was laugh during the entire ride. I liked it, but it has been crossed off my Disney bucket list. My favorite ride at HS is RNR!!!
