This was my first trip but there's a few traditions I'd like to keep going.
-Spending $100 bucks on Disney books at Virgin Megastore
-Buying every possible Disney theme park book in the park stores
-Riding Mission Space Green. Then riding Orange and nearly psyching myself out. Then going to Germany and Canada and getting drunk and riding Orange again lol. Then afterwards wandering out International Gateway looking for the boat and ending up in Boardwalk and then DHS.
- Riding ToT in one of the last groups of the day with a bunch of cheerleaders. Kid you not haha.
- One goofy tradition I kind of have is always getting a quirky Disney character hat. Granted I've only done it two of the three times we went to Disney. In 92 (I was six) I got a Donald hat that you could squeeze the bill and it would honk. My cat hated it. This year I bought a Stitch hat. I wear it to concerts all the time. My dog is afraid of it so we put it on the couch so she doesn't go up there hahaah.
-I really hope I can get the same bus driver I had from AK to Epcot. He was one of the best.
- Anytime I ate with the family it was at Ponderosa, SIzzler, Golden Corrall, etc.
- TURKEY LEGS!
- Getting at least one picture with a character. Lots in 92, Donald Duck & Roger Rabbit; Brer Bear and Brer Fox. The fox and cat from Pinnochio. In 2001 I cant really remember. This year it was me and my mom with Scooby Doo and gy at Universal lol.
- Going to a concert at House of Blues (Panic at the Disco this year). I actually met a couple of Disney employees there. One was an accountant, the other was a girl who played Rafiki lol.
- Spending the first day at a water park and then going to EPCOT for Illuminations, then monorailing over to MK for Wishes and a few rides (did Stitch, Buzz Lightyear and Space Mountain all in the last hour before closing).
- Getting some canadian Moosehead beer at the Canada pavillion.
- Volunteering to be in at least one live show. Don't remember in 92. In 2001 I was in Goofys Beach Party or something at DCA. This year i was in Fear Factor and Disaster as a scientist.
- The only rides I've done on each of my 3 trips are; Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Railroad, Big Thunder Mountain, Jungle Cruise, Monorail, Star Tours, Swiss/Tarzan Treehouse, Wishes (or a variation), Fantasmic and Pirates. There's no attractions at Universal I've done all three times unless you want to count Jaws as part of the Tram Tour.
Only did Pinnochio, Alice In Wonderland, Dumbo, Aladdin Parde, Goofys Bounce House, Storybook Canals, Captain E-O, Toontown Trolley, Skyway, Mickeys House, Great Moments with Mr Lincoln, Chip N Dales Treehouse, Gadgets Go Coaster, Beauty and the Beast Live, and the Carousel in 92. At Universal I only did in 92 Waterworld. Only did Tom Sawyer, Astro Orbiter, Country bear Jamboree, Roger Rabbit, Matterhorn, Autopia, Indiana Jones Adventure, Golden Horseshoe, Disney Gallery and all of DCA (with the exception of Its Tough to be A Bug, Disney Animation, Soarin and Muppets) in 2001. At Universal in 01 was the only time I did ET Adventure, Nickolodeon Splash Zone, Back to the Future and Lucy A Tribute.
This year I skipped Small World, Mad Tea Party, Snow White and Peter Pan as well as Toon Town in general; and obviously was unable to do Mr Toad, Main Street Electrical Parade, Casey Jr or Main Street Cinema (although I did poke in at Expedition Hall). At Universal I was unable to do Wild West Show, Backdraft, Backlot Tour and skipped Fievel's Playground.
Only ride I can think of that I dd in 92 and this year but not in 2001 was Tommorowland Transit authority/ People Mover due to it being closed in Disneyland. At Universal I saw Beetlejuice in 92 and again this year but not in 01 for whatever reason.
