Wow ~ that is some cupcake!
Are you planning on ever eating the elephant??
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.
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.
Whenever I get back, if they still have that cupcake, I'll eat the new elephant.

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

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.

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!

Oh Amy...
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!
