Well...I suppose you are correct. I really did cut out attractions that I like but aren't my absolute favorites. It is sooooo hard to choose! :lol:

I don't remember if I did this already or not, and I'm too lazy to go look. :lol:

Magic Kingdom:
Well, I used to really like Space Mountain, but it jostles me around so hard that my middle-aged body doesn't like it anymore. :(
Philharmagic is my hubby's favorite, and since he doesn't post here, I'll do it for him.
Pirates of the Caribbean
I really really like Hall of Presidents, but don't see the point in going every trip, especially if the same dude is in office for two terms. :)
Peoplemover or TTA or whatever it's called. I don't know why I like it so much but I do.

Epcot:
Spaceship Earth
Soarin'
Strolling through World Showcase (I know it's not an official attraction, but it's a must-do, thing that I always look forward to, event)

Animal Kingdom:
Expedition Everest
Festival of the Lion King
Finding Nemo: The Musical
(both FOTLK and FNTM are favorites, but I also don't feel compelled to do both every trip)

Hollywood Studios:
Rock 'n Roller Coaster!!!
Tower of Terror!
That's it!
:lol: DHS doesn't do much for me. Maybe after they change things over to a Star Wars area I'll like it better.
Polynesian 1980
All-Star Movies 2001
Pop Century 2008
Saratoga Springs 2010
Bay Lake Tower 2012
Hyatt Place Anaheim Resort/Convention Center 2015
Marriott Anaheim Suites 2016

Isn't it funny how so many people like TTA, myself included, but there doesn't seem to be anything specific anyone can put their finger on as to why they like it so much. Is it being able to get off your feet for a bit, the backstage look into Space Mountain, the brief glimpse of the City of Tomorrow, the futuristic method of travel. who knows, but it is very enjoyable and I would miss it a lot if it went away like it did in DL!

All of the above.

There is an excellent Peoplemover history video on Youtube. It runs 48 minutes but you learn a lot.
