Nope, just keeping it. The cupcake tastes even better than it looks. So yummy!

I've got my small, chocolate, gold-dusted castle from my 2009 birthday cake (from Boardwalk Bakery) in my freezer with the elephant, haha. :D
Well, at least they have each other for company in that cold, dark freezer :( You do know chocolate is meant to be eaten?? ;)
Haha, yes. Not a big fan of chocolate though (or sugar in general, outside of when I'm on vacay), and I like having them to remind me of my trips. And I get to see the castle every time I open the freezer door, so that makes me happy. :donald:

Whenever I get back, if they still have that cupcake, I'll eat the new elephant. :lol:

I personally won't ride Tower of Terror. I used to ride it all the time when I was pretty young, but then I got scared of everything that even remotely resembled a thrill ride, for some reason. I absolutely love roller coasters and thrill rides now, I love Expedition Everest, the Rock n' Roller Coaster, and Mission: Space, but I still won't get on Tower of Terror. I've never really been able to get over my mental block on it. It still scares me :P

I really wont ride It's a Small World. That song drives me nuts! The only way I will ride it is if someone in my group has never been on it. It is a classic ride that I think you should experience at least once, but like I said it drives me nuts!

Dumbo - 45 minute wait for a 90 second ride? There are longer rides for less of a wait.

Get there at rope drop...and you can pretty much walk on any attraction in Fantasyland.

Here is a recap of the day DW and I went to MK at rope drop...and the short Fantasyland queues.

Mission Space for me! I can't stand spinning around, and just the thought of moving at G-force has me queezy! I've heard too many stories from people who have ridden on it, & have gotten sick.

Yes, sick is right! I don't like any of those kind of rides but I will always ride once to experience it. Thus was the trip on Mission Space. I rode it once when it first opened... being a Horizon's girl I wanted to see what had taken my beloved ride away. Well, about 30 seconds into the ride I was searching for a panic button! It felt like an eternity on that ride! I was nauseous for a good 2+ hours after that and said never again!

But then they offered Mission Space without the spinning, hurray! So I tried it again... still was bad, still felt yucky but only for an hour or so that time. Seriously I am done with the fast, spinning, flipping and otherwise! Give me Carousel of Progress any day! :D

Oh Amy... :wink:

I can only do green M:S about once and that's it... even non-spinning gets me a bit!

Just out of curiosity, what effect does the non-spinning have on you? I'm seriously blessed with never having had motion sickness, so I was just wondering how the non-spinning ride affects you. I'm completely obsessed with M:S. I'm really sorry you can't take spinning rides- you are seriously missing out! :(

I'm not really interested in Mission Space just because it doesn't sound interesting to me. Everything else, I'm game for!
