Disney World

Been there hundreds of times. Grew up in FL.
Get me to the Dolphin Hotel NOW!!!!!

Yes, ET said hello to me.
I only went once and before the kinks were worked out.
I stick with Disney.

Epcot Rox??? Joey and I were there last year and it was filthy, worn down, overpriced and there was not much to do except shop and eat - a few rides - but most of it was just boring. I wished I'd spent the entrance fee on something more worth while.

---

I have a soft spot for EPCOT also. Like Glebb, I grew up in Florida near the parks so I've been hundreds of times as well. Lots of fond memories.

Anyone know if IT'S A SMALL WORLD is still closed? It's my favorite ride out of all of them and I can't go back if it's not open.

yeah, i was disappointed with EPCOT as well... i think my favorite park is Animal Kingdom, but probably because we had an amazing experience in the safari... the day we went to AK, the weather was a bit foggy, and it made for a very realistic experience on safari...

but as far as EPCOT, it's now my last choice...

MGM is my favorite park. I wish I lived closer to Orlando so I could go more often! I think I've been to Disney World about seven or eight times.

I'm going on my 4th week-long Disneyworld trip this summer. Excited, I love it there! My fav parks in order are Magic Kingdon, MGM, EPCOT and Animal Kingdom. Actually, I think I'd put Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach over Animal Kingdon, just not my kind of park I guess, I prefer more rides.

The first time we went was '96 and we loved Futureworld in EPCOT. Horizons was one of all of our favorite pavilions, and it had the old Journey to Imagination setup(I miss it terribly!), and well...I guess those are the only differences but it seems to be a big one. I'd love to go on Mission Space, but I think I'll chicken out, the contest between cool ride doesn't compare to feeling of nausea for days.

Ooh, does anyone know if Carousel of Progress is reopened at all? Another fav of mine that's been closed lately.

I'm hoping to go in April. I haven't been in a loooong time.

---

I was there last July.

While some elements of the parks were not as perfect as I remember from previous visits, I still loved WDW. The Magic Kingdom, in particular is still such a happy place.

Can't they make Tiger River Rapids longer in Animal Kingdom? It is a great ride for cooling off on a Summer's day.

i was there in 5th grade spring brake! :) it was nice

I went from Jan 4 to 10 at the beginning of this year. Lovely weather, not crowded-excellent! Small World is closed until May. :)

I was there this past Dec. - I LOVE WDW!!! And you are right, Mission: Space is AWESOME! I was Commander once, and Engineer once. Love Tower of Terror, too; it's like having a big tank of adrenalin plugged into a major artery, I always come off it with this insane grin on my face. broadwaystar2b is talking me into riding Rock 'n' Roller Coaster next time. Love Splash Mountain, that is the most fun of all. Also the 3-D movies (esp. Philharmagic, the new one; love it when the champagne corks pop at you at the end of "Be Our Guest.") I got drenched on Kali River Rapids at AK; I was facing backwards when we hit the one significant drop and I was wringing water out of my clothes all the way out of the park. I was so wet, I felt guilty sitting down on the bus. If you ever get the chance to splurge, stay at the Polynesian. You can sit on the beach at night and watch the fireworks over the castle, and the lunches at Kona Cafe are great! I haven't been to Universal/IOA yet; will have to make time for that on the next trip, whenever that happens.

Oh, and I'm a regular reader of rec.arts.disney.parks, and I thought someone said there the other day that Small World is reopening on March 17, but I wouldn't swear to that.
