So we have just arrived home from our trip to DL and DCA.
I went to DCA about 4 years ago and thought it was pretty weak on the list of Disney Parks IMO....
However, project sparkle makes this park SHINE!
What a difference.... not just Carsland (which I will get on to in a minute) but the whole park.
I would now put this up there with DHS (which I ADORE) I might even have to say it now surpasses DHS.
The whole place just works, I don't know how they've done it but it clicks now.
The one gripe I have is walking through Bugs Land to get to Hollywood was a pain and poorly sign posted.
Carsland:
I was sceptical about Carsland.... read my previous posts.
I'm not a fan of the Cars franchise and thought it was basically a vehicle (pardon the pun) to sell more toys to boys!
Yet, entering Carsland my eyes lit up... as If I too were a boy again.
Detail, theming and beauty like this hasn't been seen in a Disney park since... well I'm not even sure when and to see this thing at night is truly beautiful.
RSR:
I had heard good things about this ride but again I wasn't expecting too much....
but wow, just wow.... this is the best ride created by Disney since Tower of Terror... possibly since Indy or Splash Mnt.
We rode it 4 times and I loved it more and more every time. If only I was a kid or had kids to take on it. The ride is beautiful, it's a class A attraction Disney back on form.
The dark ride portions are fantastic, the rock work deserves an award and the race at the end is the icing on the cake.
It's an instant classic and WDW NEEDS this ride.... this is as good as any of the mountains duplicated across the parks all over the world.
I miss this ride already.

You had a long vacation! Out of the three theme parks (DL, DCA and USH), list the order in which you had the most fun at. I'm curious.
I've got an USH pass and I most likely could have met up with you anywhere else you went. I don't just show up, unless someone asks me, because I feel it's kind of rude without asking the person first. Why didn't you say anything?
