We keep thinking about trying those, but other restaurants always edge them out in the final selection. And to me, while the experience is nice, I'd rather have the better food. It's no big deal because we hop around all the time anyways, but we would like to try those. :)
Can't wait to take my twin boys on their first trip to Walt Disney World! Planning on heading there sometime Feb-May 2014!

Magic Kingdom - CoP it never gets old, or TTA another good one; The Casie Baseball place on the corner of Main-street, I always love their corn-dog nuggets and cheese sauce lol I cover everything with it; my fav/classic side area are the totems in Adventureland, not very exciting but loved them as a kid so their nostalgic for me.

EPCOT- UoE even though it's Ellen now hehe; Electric Umbrella; the Fountains is always lovely to watch, that's why I frequent the EU :-) hehe

Hollywood Studios- ToT hands down; Sci-Fi Dine In; side area is the Honey I Shrunk the Kids Area.... is that even still there? lol I don't seem to remember it the past several years.

Animal Kingdom- Extinction aka Dinosaur; never really ate there lol and as far as side areas hmmm I have to day it's my least visited :-P

Favorite EPCOT country pavilion - Mexico, I love the ride and the shops.

yodiwan1 - You may be the only one I have ever known to actually say that they like playing the games in Dino Land. What do you like about them?

Magic Kingdom
Ride: Space Mountain
Eat: Columbia Harbor House/Casey's Corner/Pecos Bill
Extra: Night Time parades (MSEP or Spectro, doesn't matter) and the water pageant in the 7 seas lagoon.
Extra, Extra: I actually liked Toon Town Fair. It gave the kids a good place to run around with Mickey/Minnie's houses and the play park.
Show: Country Bear Jamboree... yep, I sing along and stamp my feet
Extra Show: Call me crazy, but I like the new Tiki Room and the MILF.

Epcot
Ride: Space Ship Earth, even with the missing ending. (I like Soarin' but it's not a must do for me.)
Eat: Electric Umbrella... I disagree with Hitler ;)
Extra: Ambiances (liquid & otherwise) that can be enjoyed while strolling around the countries
Extra, Extra: Innoventions (although I think it was better years ago) and the games at the exit to SSE
Show: The fountain shows are decent
Country: Mexico (otherwise known as EGYPT to my family) - Nothing beats the atmosphere/margaritas in that place.

Hollywood Studios
Ride: Tower of Terror
Eat: 50's Prime Time Cafe
Extra: Watching the citizens of the Studios. They are pretty funny if you interact them for awhile.
Show: Fantasmic, when it's actually showing and the place isn't filled to capacity.

Animal Kingdom
Ride: Expedition Everest... IMO the only ride worth waiting for at AK.
Eat: Don't think I have ever eaten inside of Animal Kingdom other than Restaurantosaurus when it was a character breakfast.
Show(s): Festival of the Lion King and NEMO musicals
Extra: NADA...

Well, I usually win of course!! I love competition! Years ago, I played the strength game where you hit the lever with a mallet and the light goes up...i won 10x in a row and walked out with 10 different colored snake stuff animals. I was dating a girl that worked with the gorillas, so while she was working i walked over to her station where she was giving out facts, and i gave her all of them. Everyone was cracking up!! i am also pretty good at the water squirting game!

How much do the games cost to play? I've always walked quickly past them since I am not a fan of those games at fairs or carnivals either.

I probably wouldn't mind if they had Disney merchandise as the prizes. Think of it... Dart balloon pop for Vinylmations!

Giving those bears away as prizes is about the only way they're gonna get them off the shelves in the stores at the park... :lol: :lol: :lol:

But he is soooo popular in Asia! :D I certainly hope this year's ticket price increase isn't due to all the money lost by pouring everything into DUFFY crap, err... merchandise.

This is WAY off topic as I doubt DUFFY the dust collecting bear is ANYONE's favorite.

*Disclaimer: IF you in fact love Duffy, I sincerely apologize... not for bashing him repeatedly, but sorry that you need psychological help. :wink:

Getting back on topic in a way: have you notice, NaCler, that no one has yet listed DUFFY among their favorite things about any of the park?

I meant to but I forgot!!! ....

Yeah, not really. :lol: I think Duffy's story is quite a stretch.
