What ride 'belongs' to your family, but you let us borrow it when we are there?

Philharmagic. It's mine, MINE!

DW and I walked in expecting a 'nice' 3D show, and were completely stunned. We were laughing and gasping and grabbing each others hands the whole time. Now, the clock-chimes in the Peter Pan segment make me teary every time.

That, and Carousel of Progress. We LOVE it. We love the walt-era animatronics, the unabashed love of technological progress, the nuclear family, even the slight cheesiness. Pure perfection.

My husband really thinks he is an official jungle cruise skipper in his heart of hearts- we love that ride, sometimes I feel like we're enjoying it the most in our boat!

Its a Small World, Yes I know, but my DS first trip he wanted to ride it over and over. I rode it 6 times in a row, so its mine!

**dream_disney** · 09-18-2009, 04:12 PM

I call Expedition Everest. It's the best ride in all of WDW!!! Tower of Terror and Rockin Roller Coaster and also amazing!

**Dickson Thunder** · 09-19-2009, 07:33 PM

Splash Mountain, no doubt!

TTA we all love it when the parks are crowded ...and it gives us time to sit and chat, make plans, rest, etc.
Also SSE is another fav

Since no one has mentioned it I call dibs on Kali River Rapids in AK. I just retured 2 days ago from our trip and we went on it 9 times in a row. It was really humid that day so it was nice to cool off. Plus, there was no line at all so we just kept going on it. My daughter still laughs at how wet I got.

That would be Thunder Mountain.
In 1986 my dad and I went to ride it late while the park had unscheduled extended hours and there were few guests. As we got off the ride, my dad said, “Lets ride it again” and around we raced to go through the non existing line to ride again. Seeing this, the cast members invited us to remain seated and sent us on another ride. Once off, we repeated only to have the cast members urge us to remain seated for more rides. This went on an on so much we lost count of the rides. You see, my dad had severe rheumatoid arthritis and could hardly walk but the fun he was having kept him wanting to go back on each time we exited. The next day he was hurting so bad that he had to remain in bed all day and missed a full day with the rest of the family. He passed away in 1995 and he always would laugh at the memory and say that it was all worth it. Whenever we are at WDW, we always ride Thunder Mountain at night for my dad.

I can't believe there's going to be a fight over this one, but (as much as I hate to take this one) the family ride would have to be It's a Small World. It's hands down my brother's favorite ride, and somewhat near the top for my dad and mom. We also have a lot of good memories of it, especially when crowds are lighter, of the CMs letting us ride multiple times in a row (lucky us....) because of my brother's disabilities.

Ours is Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. I initally thought Pirates, but the kids outvoted me. They said they like seeing me laughing hysterically while I slam into them on the curves. It's a good thing my kids are all bigger than me now!

**MushuGrl** · 09-28-2009, 02:28 PM

I CALL BUZZ LIGHTYEAR SPACE RANGER SPIN!

Reason being we've turned it into an Olympic sport. It's not unusual for us to ride it, spend about two, three minutes smacktalking, taking a few steps.."Huh..wanna do it again.." BACK IN LINE!

(Okay, mainly it's to try to beat my best friend, which I did, once, never happen again, but don't tell him that.)

**Lakin** · 09-28-2009, 05:27 PM

The Seas With Nemo And Friends.

**ravsluvdisney** · 09-29-2009, 07:19 PM

Tough call after several yearly trips - would have to say Splash with possibly a takeover bid by TSM!!

**Mrs Bus Driver** · 09-30-2009, 06:40 AM

Spaceship Earth DD and I rode this several times on our last trip. I smile every time I think of all the fun we had answering the questions and watching the resulting video even though we don't speak french or german

POTC, Philharmagic and Toy Story Mania. But we love to share.

**mouseketeer mom** · 09-30-2009, 08:25 AM

Pirates. We begin with it, end with it, and lots of it in between.

**andreallybadeggs** · 10-01-2009, 07:53 PM

Another pirate for POTC-- just check out my screen name.

And while I'll admit that all of the pp's have valid reasons for their claims I must hold feet to the fire for some other pirate wanna-be's who love to sing along and aloud on the "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me" line. DH serenades me (quietly) with all 5 verses every time we ride. If you want to learn them just ask him. That's his own contribution to the "Pirates' Code"

**AllDisney** · 10-01-2009, 10:39 PM

Very hard choice to make. Narrowed it down to 2: POTC & Carousel of Progress.

Just got told don't forget Fantasmic. That's it before someones else chimes in

Off Topic: Did your clothes stink after Kali? We rode while on our 9/15 - 9/26 trip and when the water started drying, our clothes STUNK! So bad that we had to wrap them in a plastic bag so as not to get the smell on anything else! (I know it wasn't us that stank, we took showers and put anti-perspirant on right before we left for the park!!

)
