Always amazed how many people never have heard of or tried Dole Whips! :shock:

Me too. Most people I know haven't and are completely bowled over when I tell them what and where they are. So far everyone I've gotten to try them have been hooked.

My vote is for the Peoplemover (TTA). That is its correct name after all. It is a great ride to take a break and cool off. There is very rarely a line. I miss the "commuter computer" narration.

fot the TTA, there should never really be a line as it's an omni-mover type of system, which is one of it's best features... and it's so nice and relaxing (if they put some padding in the seats, it'd be the best thing in the park).

Oooh, I dunno... the only thing keeping me from falling asleep on the TTA at times is my butt falling asleep on the hard plastic... cushions could be a two-edged sword...

Is it just me, every time I go to the MK the TTA is packed and you can only ride through once. I've been in October, June, and March. Ice Station Cool is the best kept secret to me...One Word...Beverly....eeccccchhhhh.

Oh, if you go to WDW in early December, you can ride TTA to your heart's content... last year I went on it 4 times in one day, twice back-to-back... my feet were tired, had to put them up!

The best kept secrets to me, are the activities your kids can do at the resorts. Cooking classes, pirate treasure hunting. Everyone goes down and thinks Parks parks parks. But the resorts have a LOT of activities for kids and adults.

Anyone ever to Tea Time at Grand Floridian? :)

Disney Special and Unique Dining
Garden View Tea
Turn back the clock to the genteel tradition of supping an afternoon tea. Tea cakes and other traditional tantalizing treats accompany a wide selection of tasty teas. Your afternoons will never be the same.
Give them a call ;)

My vote is for the TTA, especially at night. It's always wild when you go inside Space Mountain and can actually see the track. All the Tomorrowland lights are gorgeous too. It's a great break for the feet, and there's never a line.

As a side note, I know it's been said many times before, but Peoplemover definitely needs to be brought back to Disneyland!
Drop another coin in slot and I will tell you more.

I agree with a lot of you... TTA is definitely a hidden jewel. I really hope it doesn't get turned into something dumb (can you say "Rocket Rods"???).

My favorite "secret", though, is Epcot at night... most particular, World Showcase. My husband and I (before we adopted our daughter) used to meander around WS in the evenings and the stroll back to the Beach Club after Reflections of Earth. We'd grab a sundae at Beaches and Cream and then head back to our room... aahhh... the romance.

We still enjoy doing that with our 3-year old, but it isn't quite the same. :wink:

We also love the walkway light stones by Spaceship Earth... those are always cool!

It has to be TTA....After much thought and consideration, I could think of none better!

On my Honeymmon my husband and I probably rode the TTA about 20 times in a 10 day period. Love it! One of the best secrets there is.
