Here's a new one for ya: Tower of Terror.

I went on it once in 2001, I got the picture as proof and now I am done. My husband tries to get me to go on it every time we are there and I have to bribe him to go alone. I will go on any roller coaster, I just don't like falling straight down. :hurl:

Le Cellier ~ Sadly not up to what we expected, for the cost we would rather eat at WDW in a number of other places. It was not bad but just not something we feel the need to return too.

The Boardwalk ~ Nothing wrong with it but seems to pale to Downtown Disney.

Neither one was something we would complain about but they were not places we feel the need to return too next trip.

For us it is...

MK:
Enchanted Tiki Room (we enjoyed UNM much better, but loved the AC)
Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse(really?? Why bother)
Teacups(spinning and I do not get along very well)
Monster Inc Laugh Floor(loved the AC though)

Epcot:
Mission Space(never rode it... did I mention me and spinning?)
Turtle Talk
Soarin(this one's mine... I just don't find it as AWESOME as everyone else)

DHS:
Narnia(wasted space)
Sound Dangerous(see Narnia)
LMA show(see Narnia)
Indiana Jones show(see Narnia)
Art of Animation(enjoyed it the first 5 or 6 times we went)
BackLot(whats left of it anyway... see Narnia)
Sci-Fi Diner (loved the atmosphere... food was disgusting though)

AK:
We enjoy all of AK...in fact so much so we usually spend 2 days there. (crazy but true!)

Well, I did think of something...Yak and Yeti table or counter. It is just overpriced Chinese Food...nothing special.



We also said no more Character Breakfast Buffets after this year. We have been to almost all of them many times over the years. But paying over $130 for my family to eat breakfast is just nuts! Especially when kids eat like 2 mickey waffles, a piece of sausage and OJ.

We are DVC and we've gone every year for the past 14 years(and myself many times prior) and we finally will be going somewhere else for vacation the next few years. Hopefully the new attractions they are building will refresh the parks and make us want to return to our yearly visits.

Prime Time, the CM was doing her job. I have sometimes asked for them to tone it down or stop and every CM has complied without a problem.

Food at San Angel and elsewhere, thank the DP, especially "Free Dining". For some reason Chef's and Liberty Tree have kept up the quality and service I have experience for many years.

I strenuously disagree with your blaming the DDP for poor food quality at San Angel Inn. I have tried San Angel Inn periodically for the past 18 years. The food was garbage in 1993, 1996, 2000, 2005, and last year. San Angel has ALWAYS been crap. The only redeeming quality of the place is the beautiful surroundings. The food would be better if they bought the Patio Mexican Dinenrs and microwaved them. Or, just put in a TAco Bell and keep the environment. I know, Taco Bell is not REAL Mexican. Well, neither is the slop served at San Angel Inn.

MNSSHP......Waste of money.

Any buffet meal...could buy a whole week of food for what one meal costs and they don't taste that good.

Rafiki's Planet Watch...I went when it was still Conservation Station and it was definitely a waste of time. The train ride was the best part! I didn't think the kiosks were particularly interesting and there weren't many animals out there in the petting zoo. Ah well...

I absolutely agree Captain Jack! Around the World, there are absolutely wonderful dining experiences to be had, San Angel is just not one of them, never has been in my opinion. DDP has nothing to do with San Angels poor performance.

Sum Of All Thrills - made me nauseous :lol:

Maelstrom - ride basically sucks.

American Adventure restaurant - too plain for my tastes.

Stitch - gross.

And practically the entire Animal Kingdom (The Godfather III and Rocky V of Disney parks!), save for the shows, safari, and Tusker!

In response to my comment about prime time, I did expect the interaction...what I was commenting on was that this particular cm did not know when to stop( limitations) her constant nagging ( part of show) was getting a little too much and making our eating very uncomfortable. So YES we knew what to expect but she went a little to far in her act.

Sorry, I was mixing up posts. I took the initial posts to mean you didn't like interaction at all, so that's why I was like "then you shouldn't have gone there" but I meant it in a joking manner, not in a mean way at all.

Back to the topic:

Also, if Sum of All Thrills is like the create your own Rollercoaster Sim they had at DisneyQuest a number of years ago, I won't be going on it. DH and I designed a max intensity rollercoaster, which I was really excited about, but the thing didn't really go around the loops fast enough, so every time we went upside down, we'd be slammed into the shoulder harness and also felt kind of sick. I'd rather go on a real rollercoaster, so I don't plan to do that again.

I actually LOVED the food at the San Angel Inn the first time I went. it was one of the best meals I ever had. The second time I went I was disappointed. We're trying Hacienda de San Angel for our Candlelight Processional Package in Dec.

Quote: Prime Time.....was not a relaxing meal, maybe the cm was over indulged in her job but the constant hounding, arms off table, hat off, finish your green beans, etc a little too much for me.

Besides pretty darn good food, the interaction is the main reason most people go to the Prime Time. Did you not know what to expect?..... Probably my favorite restaurant at DHS, if not WDW.

My thoughts exactly. I didn't even go on it through my first 10 trips there and have only been on it once

I think it REALLY depends on your Skipper. The first time I went on it I had a skipper who really went beyond deadpan to just really boring. I went on it another time and it was cute. Some people LOVE the attraction though so I looked at youtube to see what the fuss is about. If you youtube Skipper Morgan or Danger Bob for example, you can see some examples of better skippers. The ride itself in terms of visual appeal, as you say isn't much to look at when you can see the real thing at DAK, but it's supposed to be all about the Skipper and the jokes.

Still not my favorite attraction, but I might give it a 3rd chance on our upcoming trip. This is compared with the fact that I've been on almost every other MK attraction dozens of times, sometimes dozens per trip.

Journey into Narnia... REJOICED the day I heard it was leaving!

Am I the only person here who basically enjoys all of the attractions? Am I going to wait 1+ plus for Peter Pan, no but I'll swing by at a less busy time. I love it all people! I am a lover lol

For our family, its:
COP- so bring and you are trapped for twenty minutes, but it feels like a year.
Country Bear Jamboree- What in the heck are they singing and drinking about. And the fat bear at the end repeating "blooooodd":brick:
UOE- see COP, but its actually 45minutes long!!
Backot tour- not what it used to be
DTD- nothing to do there except a few shops and two ok restaurants
CBR- no longer our favorite mod, past two times have been horrible. this place needs to be refurbed hard.
