What have you still not done?

On our last visit, I finally rode the Mad Tea Party with my teen daughter on a NSSHP night. We have yet to see the Country Bear Jamboree.

We conquered Dumbo in DL but in 5 trips to WDW we have never ridden Dumbo. It is on the agenda for 2011.

If you have the time, there are some pretty cool things in there to check out! It's always a good break if you need some A/C or to get out of the rain. The Segway demo is neat!

Wow. Fantasmic! is worth doing once. Ok, twice =). But I have to admit once you have seen the show, it is not something that we feel compelled to do on each trip.

I've seen it once and that was enough!

We have made sure to do the Segway demo there. It is really the only big attraction to me. The rest of the stuff there really seems like things you can do while waiting out a Florida Thunderstorm.

I am proud to say that ToT was on my list until this past trip. Now it is on my must do

Tell me you've seen TJ already. If not, ask if he is there. He will make the "experience" so much better than it already is!!!

Len90, you've never done TZ ToT yet?!?

Although my fav part is the little Rod Serling intro you watch. It is Rod Serling - not an impersonator! I'm so impressed how well they had pieced that together from Rod Serling's intros to the show.

Not the whole spiel, just the part where the camera is actually on him. Everything else that's said when he's not on-screen was an imitator.

That's how I feel about the WDW version....we usually make the effort to at least see part of the show (or at the very least recite it) whenever it's playing while we're at DL.

At the ToT, Aaron is also fantastic! We've seen him on our past few trips! I love when CM's get into character!

WDW Fantasmic IMHO is sadly disappointing if you've ever seen DL's Fantasmic. Just not the same!

boilerbabe · Post by **boilerbabe** » Apr Thu 08, 2010 11:50 am

We used to really enjoy the fireworks at MGM, Mickey would pop up from behind the theatre! We were disappointed when they took that away and brought out Fantasmic. We saw it once and have no desire to return.

It's sad but true...

Another difference between the two that I like is in DL you can view the show from various angles, so you don't always see the same show. My favorite spot is in the smoking section by the rafts to Tom Sawyer's Island. Granted, I don't smoke, and if it's crowded I won't stand in a puff of smoke to view the show, but because you are right in front and at the tail end of the "parade" you see things a little differently and get personal love from the characters as they are on the Mark Twain. It's cool, but the one drawback is you can't see Pinoochio, so I don't reccomend it for anyone who hasn't seen the show. Another spot I like (and this is because I like behind the scenes stuff) is by the Hungry Bear Restaurant.
