    Default Ever fall asleep on a ride?

    My family and I were listening to music from the parks at dinner tonight and the soundtrack from Spaceship Earth came on. I immediately reacted by getting sleepy... I love the attraction, but on those long days in the middle of a trip it becomes a fantastic rest stop for a tired dad. Anyone else have a ride that works as a battery recharger?

    It's not a ride, but an attraction. The Hall of Presidents is a great place to take a quick nap!

    When I was pregnant with my second son, I fell asleep on Ellen's universe of energy. I sat in the back had the long seat almost to my self, I was feeling queasy and laid down, out liked a light!

    Universe of Energy, the pre-show to HISTA, Spaceship Earth, Hall of Presidents and Carousel of Progress.

    We also were in WDW when the second Harry Potter Movie opened. We went to see it and my DH and I both fell asleep while our DD never missed a second!

    We used the TTA as a battery recharger & an escape from the rain

    We both love the ride and never had a wait.

    My DH is not a ride person at all so I'm lucky I was able to get him on the few "rides" that I did.

    My husband always nods off in the American Adventure. We love the show - there is just something about the comfy seats and air conditioning!

    DH and I always fall asleep in Spaceship Earth. We don't care for the ride too much, but it's a great place to nap if you can overcome the loud, squeaky cars.

    I've been known to let my head bob in the HoP, but I really do love that attraction. I did doze off in Universe of Energy once, too.

    Well the only place I can think of where I actually fell asleep was in the Hall of Presidents. My mom really wanted to go in so we did. I was fine until we got to the part with Mr. Bush started to talk and I um well

    The American Adventure and the film in France are not rides, but I have fallen asleep in both.

    I've slept on Spaceship Earth, TTA, Ellen's Universe of Energy, Carousel of Progress and American Adventure. I have yet to see all of this one because I always fall asleep You should ask me if I stay awake on any of them

    Country Bear Jamboree!?!?! How could you fall asleep durring that?

    I nearly fell asleep durring Stichs' Great Escape. And I zoned out durring Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin. But that was only because my little sister was creaming me.

    Yup, same thing here.

    I also fell asleep on Ellen's Energy Adventure and the Lion King show. The Lion King show was awsome but it was dark and it was SO tired and it was early morning. Too many mornings kill me since I'm a total night owl.

    These are great responses! As I read them I kept thinking "Oh yeah, I've fallen asleep there too!" I can't wait to see some more responses but I'm heading to bed early tonight! All of this is making me sle.......

    Would you believe that I fell asleep on Mission; Space? Didn't think so.

    But I did sleep through American Adventure the other year. It was my first time seeing (or not seeing) the show (always run out of time in World Showcase, still haven't been to all countries!) and I still don't know how the whole thing goes!

    As for the other usual suspects, I like TTA, SSE, UoE, and CoP too much to sleep through them.

    I am a old fan of COP, but boy oh boy in the middle of a long hot, sticky afternoon it is really easy to drift off to the sweet sound of"...it's a great big beautiful tomorrow..." FUN FUN FUN
