The Hall of Presidents is the only ride to make me snooze. On a hot, humid summer Florida day you get exhausted real easy! What better place to do it in a relaxed, air-conditioned atmosphere? :) What is the show, about 15 minutes?
.. now arriving at Space Mountain, Tomorrowland's gateway to the galaxy..

I remember doing it once, and was surprised it didn't seem as far as it felt on the train...

If you look at a map you can tell the train loops out a good bit further than the path which I'm sure helps make the distance seem longer.
Can't wait to take my twin boys on their first trip to Walt Disney World! Planning on heading there sometime Feb-May 2014!

The comfy seats in the Muppet 3D theatre always makes me want to take a nap.

I miss the old Living Seas and Universe of Energy at EPCOT - the films just could lull you into a sleep...

Once you get used to the song, it's a small world is a smooth enough ride to fall asleep in. Especially if you're exhausted.

ITA, although Ellen's Energy Adventure still tries its best in the middle section.

Just gotta be careful that when you fall asleep you don't slip overboard... :shock: :lol: :wink:

Meh. I'll keep using ear plugs, thanks.
We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

I always hear about people take naps on Disney attractions...I never understood it...I believe every attraction has something to enjoy...no matter how long it is...If you want to take a nap..go back to your hotel...you are doing yourself a disservice if you miss out on what an attraction has to offer by sleeping on it (not a good place to get out of the Florida sun..that's a different topic all together).

I don't think my Mom necessarily intends to take a nap when we enter some attractions, it is simply the combination of having been out late the night before, up early in the morning, more activity than normal during the day, warm temperatures, or cold temperatures, etc.... She actually has gone back to the hotel if she wants to take a one or two hour nap, but I can see where sometimes a quick 10-15 minute nap in an attraction, without the time spent traveling back to your hotel, might be an attractive option...

It is merely where's a convenient place to take a quick "power nap" instead of trying to get all the way back to the hotel, take a nap, and then come all the way back to the parks.
