My Disney Thoughts

[codered195]

The Bad:

Well i think, the whole idea of cartoons and wishes and all that crap is all not so good for me.. well i guess kids like it. there rides suck too. slow things.
They need a more verity of rides and not just slow things for little 4 year olds.
"Ohh! I wanta hug mickey!" a little quoited last time i went to disney.

The Good:

I like their firework shows alot, i recreated them in RCT3. i also like
there interactive stuff. Their employees are always nice too. (and pretty) :p
Some of their rides are OK like the Mount Everest ride. But more like Bush Gardens and Six Flags are much more thrilling.


What do you think?!

[Cyberleader]

I think you don't get that the best way to enjoy a Disney park is to take it slow, and not try and hit big rides and big thrills.

The enjoyment of Disney is in the tiny little details, feel of the park, I shall stress, DETAIL.

I also sense a small bit of immaturity in your writings, but maybe it's just my natural spurning of the word 'sucks' as an adjective.

Finally, what do you mean by 'variety'? I think they have a huge variety, as some parks often have too many coasters, and so cannot appeal to families, as small children cannot ride. Disney seem to be able to balance nicely. They don't just build a ride because of the thrill, if the thrill helps the STORY, then it will exist, if not, then it won't.

I think, that nobody does Theme Parks better than Disney. Because Disneyland was the first true Theme Park.

:)

[codered195]

yeah, they have no huge coasters

[simtanic8]

Well Disney isnt like Cedar Point or Six FLags. It is aimed for the family audience not Thrill Seekers. If you want thrill ride the TOT or RCR at MGM.

~Simtanic8

[Cyberleader]

And this is because just a huge coaster has no story, it has no theme, hence: Not Disney.

I would take a heavily-themed Dark Ride over a Roller coaster that was big, but themed with concrete, any day.

But that's just me..

EXACTLY!! it is not aimed for the thrills! really good point.
but what do u guys think about the rides at disney?

[Westcot]

No. It's about EXPERIENCE, not cheap thrill rides.

Dark rides (I guess you mean by "slow things for little 4 year olds") are a part of Disney history, and it's how it tells its stories. Some of the most famous rides in the world such as 'Pirates of the Caribbean', 'Spaceship Earth', and dare I say 'It's A Small World' are all classic dark rides which Disney is famous for. Most of those are the most-recognized rides in the world. If you were to ask someone what Kingda Ka or Space Mountain was, most would know Space Mountain over Kingda Ka.

For the whole thing about cartoons... let's just say there wouldn't be a Disney World or Disneyland if it wasn't for cartoons. Walt Disney originally made Disneyland after a few experiences he had at amusement and theme parks, and wanted a place to showcase his cartoons and have a place that families could go. Walt Disney didn't just become famous for his theme parks, he became famous many many years before for his cartoons.

As for a variety of rides, they have everything you could imagine. Roller coasters, water rides, unique thrill rides, dark rides, etc. There's something for everyone. If you don't like dark rides, then just go on Mission: SPACE, Test Track, Rock n' Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror, Expedition Everest, or whatever.

If you don't like Disney, then simply don't go. Six Flags or Universal is always an option! Just also don't forget that if it wasn't for Disney, Six Flags or Universal probably wouldn't exist!

[codered195]

yeah.. u guys have good points
what do u think bout disney?

[Westcot]

I personally think it's awesome.

I'm a huge Epcot and MGM Studios enthusiast. The rides are excellent, and no one else does it like Disney! Don't get me wrong, I love Busch Gardens and extreme roller coasters, but there's just something about Disney. I've grown up there pretty much, been going there for since I've been born. That makes it 15 years for me.

The rides are great, the atmosphere is great, it's just an experience that no one can forget.

[simtanic8]

I absolutley think that Disney have the best theme parks ever created. I love the atmosphere and design of all the rides. They go through all these things to just amaze us, and alot of them are very simple things. I have been to the Disney in California and in Paris, and I adore them both. I can not wait to go to Disney World. Even though I havent rode the Tower of Terror, its my favorite ride there.

~Simtanic8

[tycooner55]

I go to parks for coasters, big ones for sure. I also appreciate attention to detail and themeing. Of the many parks I have visited, BGE and BGA are the best of the best in combining awesome coasters with great scenery.

[Coaster Guru]

I love the balance of thrill and story in Disney's parks. Tower of Terror, any of them, is an entertainment masterpiece. You just get something special with movie experience, a huge wallet, and the drive to use them. I've only been to Disneyland in CA, but the moment you start to drive through that area of Anaheim that Disney rebuilt not too long ago, you definately get that feeling of magic, because their movie experience allows them to mold your thoughts and emotions like any other park. The little details, like the far-away sound of the outdoor music of HTH, to the authentic, mountain feel of GRR really do seem amazing. The whole resort is fantastic in that they even made a shopping center, a dready shopping center, look amazing. They truly have some amazing architects, just look at the Grand Californian, show me a more beautiful hotel.

[Westcot]

^ How about the Grand Floridian then? ;)

[Maylene]

Couldn't have said it better myself guru :up:

[Coaster Guru]

Just googled the Grand Floridian, and it might just be taste but this,


http://www.rainboreviews.com/dca/pics/dca_gc01.jpg

is better than this.

http://www.mousepal.com/Resort%20Home%20Pages/Grand%20Floridian.jpg

[Westcot]

I was just kidding (hence the ";)"). :)

Looking at those pictures, I do prefer the architecture of the Grand Californian better, but the Grand Floridian is also good. The Grand Californian is almost reminiscent of the Fort Wilderness Lodge at WDW which is one of my favorite hotels.

[Coaster Guru]

It's based off of the Arts and Craft movement in California. The picture does not do it justice, and I couldn't get an aerial shot from the upper levels. It's absolutely amazing with all the exposed beams and stuff. And everything is blended together in design, extremely eye pleasing.

Everytime you say "Theme Park",people refer to Disney.:)

[TheFreshEffect]

Every time I go to any Disney park I feel like I'm seven years old again, bliss.

:heart::up:

[kylr23]

I acctuly liked it when I went 4-3 years ago. (*I think it was when mission space was being built.*)
I loved every single park there, the rides where nice and cool and heck I even liked et alien encounter. (Now a Lilo and stitch themed ride.):sour: I really loved the world of coke in Epcot gotta love that watermelon soda. I even liked the shows as well and the dark ride. The only one I hated was Its a small world.
But that park is really nice. I loved its more of family then thrills. Imho I would pick Disney over ceder point any day. :heart:

[thetrooper]

Never been to one and don't really want to. I prefer thrills and the theming, while really good, isn't what I like. The theming around nemesis for example is more to my tastes for a theme park.
If I have kids I would go to a disney park but not while it's for my benefit primarily.

In Paris, for instance, you'd really enjoy Space Mountain, Rock 'n' Rollercoaster, Big Thunder, Tower of Terror, Crush's Coaster, and you'd also just love the rest. It is truly marvellous.

[codered195]

Yeah, disney, itself, is all together pretty sweet. but i just dont really like the slow rides. i like disney alot. i LOVE epcot soooo much, i am not trying to tell u that i hate disney, i just hate the kiddish rides. I think they should make a whole new theme park in orlando and make it like bush gardens. Thrilling rides. that would be really goooood!

[thetrooper]

I think they should make a whole new theme park in orlando and make it like bush gardens. Thrilling rides. that would be really goooood!

That wouldn't suit the disney side of it. That's the whole point. Go to the other parks if you want that but what films/books will the intense rides be based on at a disney one? There's not much extreme stuff to work with except the subliminal sex things in a few films...look for it yourself :o

Now don't go teasing the little kids who can't find them, or realize they have.


I love Disney as just being someplace that I can constantly go to every weekend and just have fun I constantly go with friends and it never gets old, the only way it could be better was if I lived off of Harbor Drive, and this summer we might just do that for a week!!!! Of course, we'll be in a trailer park.

[~LoveTulie]

I love Disney. The details, themes, the rides. I like it a lot. Shame though, went when I was about 13, so I didn't go on much because I was too scared, and don't remember really anything. :(

Hope to go in the near future though with my family :)

[Garfield 06]

Ok, come on. Disney is not your average park. They have thir flaws, yes, but they also excell at what is not. No other park has ever come close. They have tried, tried, and tried again, but no one has even scraped the barrel. And heck, everyone loves Disney. The parks in Tokyo were among the top attended for YEARS on end! And they cater to everyone. If you're a thrillseeker, enter the park of your choosing early, ride the kick>< rides, and just have fun the rest of the day doing, well what you want. If that's to difficult, go to your local Six Flags and ride

"Concrete Slab: The Experience"

And if that's too hard, go to therapy, relive your childhood with a friend, and then go back to Disney. If THAT'S too difficult, I'll see you at work on Wednesday.

Yeah, the newer parks do have some "big" thrills.

[Cyberleader]

It's not for Kids! Gulliver's, for instance, is for kids. Disney Parks are aimed at everyone. That's the whole point of Disneyland. That's what Walt wanted, where the children and the parents and the grandparents, could all go out together and have fun.

[Sil1994]

Well Disney is always Disney. I've only been to Disneyland Paris (and I'm gonna be there, this summer, for the 4th time :p) and I loved Space Mountain, Nemo's Coaster, Armageddon and Rock'n'Roller Coaster. I was on Disney for the first time in 2004 and I loved Indiana Jones, 'cause it was backward, but now, I think this stinks!
Anyway, Disney has slow rides. I think they are okay... but a little more thrilling rides would be perfect. I saw that they are gonna made a ride of Little Mermaid and something like Expedition Everest, but in Paris it would be Expedition Mont Blanc. I cant wait to ride them, just like I cant wait to ride Tower of Terror, this summer :D

And yes.. you are biased.. which turns you kinda ignorant and immature at times. ;)

[codered195]

i love disney and stuff but yes it is a family park 4 mainly kids.. my opinion is that disney should make another park in orlando nearly drawing those teens that love thrills.... like me :)

[thetrooper]

Groundhog day anyone?

[Alpengeist]

As a whole, I really enjoy the Disney parks. Of course I like some parks better than others, but overall I have a great time and don't find them in the least bit boring. Heck, some of my favorite rides are at Disney parks, such as TOT(WDW), R n' RC, Space Mnt.(WDW), Splash Mnt., Indy, California Screamin, and Haunted Mansion.

[Coaster Guru]

There are some slow rides of Disney's that actually are thrilling, like Indiana Jones. It technically is slow, but very thrilling with all the twists and turns.

What the hell are you talking about? Cyberleader becoming ignorant and immature at times :D (which I'll add a smilie because Cyberleader should know by now I'm joking with him) or that fact that SFA was more fun?

Clearly, SFA is better.. I mean, it has a Superman Clone and an SLC! :rolleyes:

[Coaster Guru]

It wasn't self explanatory.

[Squid2]

Well, there has been a long standing rumor that Disney has the plans to make another park in WDW to compete with IOA... basically a Disney Thrill Park. Supposedly it's called Shadowlands and based around Disney villians. However, if it's anything, it's blue sky dreams at the moment... no one has heard anything concrete about it yet.

Mmm... that would be really cool!


Ok folks, you're allowed to have opinions obviously. It's all about what your tastes are. Since I'll assume the majority of you are teenage boys, it's understandable that you would want more thrills. But, some people like more visually stunning attractions too. And hey, the whole point of going to Disney is to feel like a kid again! (Of course, most of you are kids ;) )

I love Busch Gardens because it mixes ambiance and such with thrill rides. I'm a coaster fan myself. But, I'm absolutely thrilled to be going to Disney again this year after my first time 14 years ago! I grew up loving Disney films, so to see parks dedicated to them is exciting and nostalgic. I'm even going to get on It's a Small World just to say I did! :p

Maybe someday in the future, after you've grown a little, and remembered back to the good ol' childhood days, it won't seem so boring to go ride the Pirates of the Carribbean ride, or hug Mickey.

Of course, I'm a 27 yr old female, so we'll have to agree to disagree. :D

[codered195]

I like disney just not the non-thrill rides

[SnooSnoo]

I like disney just not the non-thrill rides

God.. so you go for like what.. 5 rides? :rolleyes:

[Westcot]

^ Come on SnooSnoo, I don't go criticize your Cedar Fair parks. I could, but I don't. ;)

[TheFreshEffect]

catgrrl, I'm with you, 'Busch Gardens' has the best mix of thrill rides and theming, well apart from Warner Brother Parks.

[Alpengeist]

^...how about IOA/USF.

[SnooSnoo]

^ Come on SnooSnoo, I don't go criticize your Cedar Fair parks. I could, but I don't. ;)

To be honest, are there more then 20 or so rides made to thrill? It wasn't an attempt to really criticize the park because it is kinda true, more so criticizing the guy.. because he goes for only the thrill rides and there aren't exactly a huge amount.

But hey, feel free to make jokes. Obviously no one is taking them seriously.. hell, neither am I.. but why always Cedar Fair? Just because CP is my homepark doesn't mean I'm in CF's jockstrap.

;)

[Westcot]

^ Well I know that you don't like Six Flags or Disney (I've heard that on various threads) so, Cedar Fair seems it only makes sense. Although there is a picture of Millennium Force on your avatar, and you mentioned that Cedar Point is your hometown park... so, yeah. ;)

It's a good thing that Disney doesn't have many thrills though. Enough hell was raised by the Disney fanboys when Horizons was torn down and World of Motion was gutted at Epcot to put in Mission: SPACE and Test Track. Epcot could always use that rumored Japan Mt. Fuji roller coaster, though. :up:

POST 700! :mdr1:

[TheFreshEffect]

^...how about IOA/USF.

Damn, I knew I forgot something. Still I'd rather go to Busch than IOA, or would I? Damn, a paradox.

[-LiLDaReDeViL5-]

I'm not getting into the stupid arguing going on here.
Referring to the original post:
Seems like you missed the boat,kid.Disney concentrates on making the coasters and rides an experience rather than thrilling you.You can go to a Six Flags and hop on a 7-Looper and forget the name meanwhile you'll never forget going on a Disney looper like Rock'n Roller Coaster because it's a better experience.You won't forget the limo cars,seeing Aerosmith in the pre show,seeing the lasers and themeing.You'll forget about Scream! over the parking lot.
Just to add,3 Walt Disney World coasters are on my top ten.Expedition Everest(#6),Space Mountain(#8),and Big Thunder(#10).Not the most thrilling ever,but the experience is amazing.
That's just my two cents.(Actually,more like a nickle).

[SnooSnoo]

Well I know that you don't like Six Flags or Disney (I've heard that on various threads) so, Cedar Fair seems it only makes sense. Although there is a picture of Millennium Force on your avatar, and you mentioned that Cedar Point is your hometown park... so, yeah.

Well, never said I don't like all Six Flags, only SFAmerica.. which is a total sh*thole for operations.. which bothers me.

And, i'd just want to point out, its not that I don't like Disney, just that their parks just aren't fun to me. People call them thrilling and from another world.. and I must have missed that in the many years I went when I was younger.

The one other thing that really bothers me about Disney is the fanboys who constantly [make fun/trash/belittle for their own amusment] of traditional amusment parks because they don't theme like Disney. Thats like comparing the Bahama's to Utah tbh.. two totally different worlds in terms of money, time, basis to create.. ect ect. Six Flags and Cedar Fair can't spend $30 million to build a big concrete tree in the middle of one of their parks.. it just wouldn't be logical. They are good at doing what they do, and not many give them their due credit.

As for Disney, they is ****ing amazing at what they do, just not much for the thrill seeker in some of us.

You can go to a Six Flags and hop on a 7-Looper and forget the name meanwhile you'll never forget going on a Disney looper like Rock'n Roller Coaster because it's a better experience.You won't forget the limo cars,seeing Aerosmith in the pre show,seeing the lasers and themeing.You'll forget about Scream! over the parking lot.

Nah, you know why you'll remember? Because its one of the big, lone thrilling things there. THATS why you remember. And of course.. if you have big Thunder Mountain in your Top 10, that just proves you've ridden almost nothing of value outside of Disney to try to prove your statement. Hop on El Toro, Millennium Force.. my Top 10, and see if you see the same.

Doubt it.

(my 40 cents.. actually more like half dollar..)

[-LiLDaReDeViL5-]

^Uh.I've been on Toro.My number one.And you're right,Millenium Force looks like an awesome ride and it no doubt would be in my top three.I expected you to say that,Snoo.
The general amusement park guest who just goes to a park will not remember Scream! but remember something like RnRC.It's the experience.Most of my rides outside the top five are based on experince.
My Top Ten(I know Snoo wants to see 'em):

My Top 10
1.El Toro @SFGadv
2.Lightining Racer @ Hershey
3.Nitro @ Gadv
4.Wildcat @ Hershey
5.Medusa @ Gadv
6.Expedition Everest @ WDW's AK
7.Superman @ Gadv
8.Space Mountain @ WDW MK
9.Roller Soaker @ Hershey
10.Big Thunder Mountain @ WDW MK
As you see,6-10 are about the experience and fun factor for me.And my count is 29(20 steel,19 wooden).I'm not a Disney fanboy,either.Let's face it though,Snoo.WDW and Disney land are world famous.Everyone knows those parks.The general dude in I don't know,Italy,doesn't know Cedar Point.Not to bash you,either.

[SnooSnoo]

^Yeah, you missed my point.. if you experience ONE thing, of course you're going to remember it, regardless of experience. If you go to Six Flags Magic Mountain, you will experience 15 different coasters.. and Scream might not be high on the list.. but you won't be forgetting Goliath or X2.

As for your Top 10.. kinda proves that the 'well themed experience' at Disney still can't be compared to the 'lets pound you in the butt' thrill that amusement parks give you. But your WHOLE top 10 should be based on experience and fun factor.. what were the rest based on?

Of COURSE everyone is gonna know Disney, its one of the most famous images in all of human history. Is Cedar Point? No. :rolleyes:

Come on now.


ps: go ride more coasters.

[Westcot]

Of COURSE everyone is gonna know Disney, its one of the most famous images in all of human history. Is Cedar Point? No. :rolleyes:

Well, I will admit that Cedar Point is pretty much the most famous image in amusement park history. ;)

[codered195]

yeah, you both are right! Disney also has those snazzy hotel rooms!!

:P

[Squid2]

Personally, I think either Cinderella Castle at WDW or the Coney Island Cyclone in NY would be the most famous amusement park image in the world. I'd have to lean to CC myself, since you see it in almost every Disney product/move. (After all, it's their logo.)

Admittedly, Disney doesn't have many thrilling rides, but the ones they do have are very, very good. For example, I put Big Thunder and Expedition Everest in my Top Ten Steel. Tower of Terror is amazing, no matter which one you're talking about.

But if I was to be nailed down to pick where I would rather go, I'd pick Busch Gardens Europe. IMHO, there isn't a better park out there. The mix of rides and the theming are just amazing.

Squid2

[Westcot]

^ I don't consider Magic Kingdom an amusement park, it's a theme park because of the themed areas. Cedar Point is more of an amusement park than theme park because it lacks many themed areas and has more "amusing" rides I guess you could say.

[Squid2]

West, while you're correct, only us enthusiasts make that distinction. To the general public, they're all either amusement parks or theme parks, depending on how old you are. So, for anything to be considered the most famous picture, you have to take into account the general public, and therefore, you can't make a distinction between amusement parks and theme parks because the general public doesn't make it.

Squid2

[codered195]

Well, Hollywood Studios (MGM) has some coasters, one of the most famous one is that Guitar one. The Rockin' RollerCoaster! That was Disney's best ride there. That was the only reason i went to MGM lol

Agreed full heartedly, their theming while not on par with Disney is still vast enough to loose yourself in.

[codered195]

yes! yes!

[xterra09]

i always thought the whole idea of it was pretty nice

I love disney! i like the characters and all the kids! I think disney is a good theme park, Code, u r right, disney does not have all those big thrill
rides, because disney is not aimed for thrills,
but it is mainly aimed
for the kids!!

[thetrooper]

Wow...you've gotten very enthusiastic over the last few days.
But please don't double post.

When I first saw this thread, I thought how could anyone say disney parks are boring! I have been to WDW twice in my life and I loved every minute!
Thinking some more about there parks, I did suddenly realise that i would not want to spend a whole day in a Disney park. I loved Disney world because of its variety, but that's because we had the pass that let you hit any park, any amount of times in a day (including water parks). We would normally hit 3 to 4 parks a day so I never did get board.
If i had spent a whole day in one park tho, I think i would have been board silly!

I think, as Disney World is 5 parks, its rubbish. If it was one park, it would be the best in the world!

The Bad:

Well i think, the whole idea of cartoons and wishes and all that crap is all not so good for me.. well i guess kids like it. there rides suck too. slow things.
They need a more verity of rides and not just slow things for little 4 year olds.
"Ohh! I wanta hug mickey!" a little quoited last time i went to disney.

The Good:

I like their firework shows alot, i recreated them in RCT3. i also like
there interactive stuff. Their employees are always nice too. (and pretty) :p
Some of their rides are OK like the Mount Everest ride. But more like Bush Gardens and Six Flags are much more thrilling.


What do you think?!

I guess Disney isn't for you. You are more for thrill rides.

Just a note... WDW contains six parks, not five. Four normal parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios) and two water parks (Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach.) I don't know if anyone considers Wide World Of Sports to be a park, but I don't.

While everyone has different tastes, and therefore different amounts of boredom, I, for one, have never had a time where I said while in WDW "You know, I'm bored... let's go somewhere else." Of course, I don't live in Florida, but I've been there at least ten times now, all for extended trips. I've stayed on site three times, and it's worth it to do so. I also don't work at WDW, which I can attest would make ANYONE bored with the place... trust me on that one. What I am saying is, IMHO, that there is more than enough there for me to never be bored, even if I'm just walking around admiring the scenery or riding the monorail from the front cabin.

I think people always have an issue with treating Disney like an experience rather than just another theme park. If I go to Thorpe Park, I run and hit Stealth, then do a few more thrill rides until lunch, after which I do the less thrilling rides, then more thrill rides.

At Disney, I just enjoy myself and see what happens, you don't necessarily need a plan, or anything you want to go on (although on occasion, it's a good idea to go and get a fastpass for or hit immediatley, a busy attraction). At Disney, it's more about experience than thrill etc. Which is really what I want to do.

Joe Rhode recently said at the Animal Kingdom's 10th Anniversary that he wished people would slow down and enjoy the park for all it's details and wonders. I'm glad to say that I do this, but I like the fact that few others do too. :)

w-what? remember i am new, i dont know all the rules and stuff. anyway sorry 4 double post
Being new is not an escuse. The rules are there to be read. Read them!

I've never been to a Disney park but they do look lovely. I am one to take in Theming and atmosphere so Disney looks like a place I would enjoy.
The only Disney park which I think looks pretty bad is California's Adventure. It looks tacky, run down and is really bad in comparision to the other Disney Parks.

Well I myself am a thrill enthusiast...and since I live in Florida i'm always going to the theme park because me and my family jsut decide on random weekend to jus pack and just drive up and enjoy the park...but w.e...because I am 16 i'm not going to lie, I LOOOVEEEEEE rollercoasters, I for one enjoy Sheikra, Kumba and the Hulk the most. But when I go to the Disney Parks especially Magic Kingdom, I run for all the rides to ride the first (: then as me and my sister begin doign all the rides a second time we begin to look more and more at the details, especially in the queue lines! Me and my sister have seen the famous chocolate chip cookie in the WDW Space mountain queue line, we also see the eyes of Madame Leota's Grave pop open whenever we go to the Haunted Mansion (very discreet, yet if caught at the precise moment can scare the bejesus out of you, i would now lols) so again i love thrills, but disney will always have a place in my heart, and even if i look like an idiot singing along with the dolls on its a small world, its because i love disney...

Amen, Cyber! I love to walk around Disney and just take in the atmosphere. I think my favorite park to do this would be AK, but MK is also a good park to just wander about. Disney puts amazing amounts of detail into their parks for people to discover. I love trying to find hidden Mickeys, but I'm not as good as some people are.

As an example of the levels of detail, the next time you're walking along Main Street at MK, look up at the windows... there are names on them. All of those names have some connection to Disney, either employees, Imagineers, or friends. The lawyer's office has the names of the dummy corporations that were used to buy up the land for WDW.

Aber, I do love to ride it's a small world, but I keep having an urge to get a Stewie doll (from Family Guy) and toss him into the Dutch scene... :D

(Oh, and what comes up on my music list while I'm typing this? The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room!)

So, you say that the staff is pretty? Tell me what you think of the Little Mermaid this summer, she might be my Algebra 1 teacher. Blonde, too skinny, will have a big smile (never does at school).
Spoiler: I dislike her

Ooooh, Algebra teachers are ugly. However, Biology teachers are not such an eye-sore. Yet another reason to avoid the olde land of the Junior Autopia.

That's why I love to have my season pass. It's great to go and just explore the park, you know, find those little tidbits of entertainment in the smallest corners. Then show-off to your friends when you go with them on their next trip and create the best trip ever.
Have you ever gone on five E-Tickets in one hour?

Ariel is Ginger.. :)

Stop trying to get on the right side of Bio! :)

My science teacher is a guy. Will you find him good looking? :bulb:
(Trying to end topic) My 7th grade history teacher was a top model, with the wind blowing her hair back.
Disneyland, overpriced. At least beyond my limits, no matter what sales there are.

Why did you think I didn't say "pretty"?



My sixth-grade science teacher was Minnie Mouse for Disneyland. The problem is, when she does it on the weekends to have a little fun, I never know which one is her, but she sees me sometimes when I make a point to find all the Minnies.:rolleyes:
