    Thanks everyone, you all make great points.

    I guess as many times I have walked through Fantasyland I have never noticed who was riding the rides!!

    Come November I'll be riding a few rides I've never been on before!!

    You ask that like its a bad thing...

    My other question would be, I am able to ride the carousel without a problem, could never ride the Teacups...how do Dumbo and the Magic Carpets compare to the carousel in regards to the dizzy factor?
    The teacups make me ....Dumbo and the carpets are fine.

    By the way, two adults, no kids, and I knew the answer....

    Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!

    You can line up behind us. We ride the kiddie rides all the time. We love the cups.
    When spinning don't look at the moving pavement. Keep your eyes on the ride and not the ground. Esp. in the cups if you dare and you don't have to spin the cup for the extra umph.
    Just think of how silly we look me and my kids, we need 2 cups but their ages are 21,24 and 26!
    Dumbo moves slower so the spinning is not bad. We do the astro obitors too.

    One of my nicest Disney memories is riding Dumbo on my 33rd birthday (it was raining hard at DL that day and there was no line at 10 on a Saturday morning!). Just me and my boyfriend, no kids.

    I love Disney World because it is one of those places where it is okay to be silly.

    My DLB-9yr would at how excited and crazy I would act at DW. That is until he realized,
    it is okay to act like a kid at DW! You won't see these folks again and no one can judge at DW.

    Everyone there is secretly a kid at heart...some are just better at supressing it than folks like me.

    SO HAVE FUN AND LET 'ER RIP!

    OH and be sure to skip atleast once down Main Street. It will get your inner child out and ready by the time you get on Dumbo :P

    My mamma always said, "doesn't matter what others think, only matters what you think!" If you want to ride it, ride it! Not much dizzy factor on Dumbo or Magic Carpet. Barnstormer seats, however, are a little smaller than your standard Roler coaster seats. But at forty-something, I still love it too!

    Of Course not. I have always told myself and other people that are embaressed about themselves.

    1.Don't Worry- Like someone already said your probably not going to see those people again.

    2.What could possibly go wrong-No one is going to look up at Dumbo and scream," Oh My God! 2 Adults and 2 Teenagers are on Dumbo!!!!!!

    3.Live life the way you want it-No one controls your life.

    4.Laugh at yourself- People that make fun of you generally are either scared of you or they wanted to ride Dumbo but they are scared. Also if they laugh at you just laught at yourself unembarrisangly (spelling?) and just walk away and keep it cool.

    Two years ago I went to WDW with two of my good friends--we were all twenty. And we took pictures with Mickey, went through Fantasyland...pretty much everything. A couple of months ago I went for the day with my 19 year-old sister and her boyfriend and, again, we did everything. Dumbo, the carousel...we made my sister's boyfriend sit in his own Dumbo while we sat in one together, and no one looked twice at the 19 year-old guy doing Dumbo by himself.

    And normally when we go it's my parents, me (22) and my sister (19). We have never let our ages stop us from going on any ride we wanted to, or being as silly as we wanted to be, or taking pictures with our favorite characters. The only thing I would say is different is that if there was a long line and limited capacity for a character, we'd let the kiddies go in front of us. Same for a parade or show. We love Disney but recognize the importance of making sure the children have absolutely magical experiences, just like we did when we were younger.

    No one will even give you guys a second glance. Disney is for families and friends of all ages.

    Go and enjoy yourself.. Ride what you want to ride... I personally do not ride these rides because I do not enjoy them.. But, this is Disney World, where adults are kids just grown up.... Who cares what others may think.. Heck, I wore a Tigger hockey jersey while in the parks, would never wear it at home... Go be a kid again...
    Son of Jor-El.. Kneel before Zod...

    TRICIA JONES: I heard that you were going to propose to Brandi Svenning at some theme park. When are men going to learn that women want ROMANCE, not Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...

    BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

    Oh, I think you'd be far sillier if you skipped those attractions!! I have to confess - Magic Carpets is one of my very favorite rides!! I love the views, and letting my girls take us up and down (or getting control of the carpet myself and keeping us as "up" as I can get us... )

    I say get on 'em all, and have a GREAT time - the more, the merrier!!

    Bingo!

    I'm looking forward to looking utterly ridiculous in June with my other crazy 23 year old friends, running around WDW with our embroidered dream ears, pin lanyards, and pal mickeys as we get pictures, autographs, and ride everything we possibly can....


    ....and then going to the Adventurer's Club.
    Now, bring me that horizon... 8(:-D
