I suppose. And I know things have to change. Timekeeper was just a really cool attraction that probably didn't get enough attention because it wasn't thrilling enough :(

And Robin Williams, brilliant though he is, can get a bit grating after a while. :roll:

In fact, now that I imagine a lifetime with Robin Williams, I'm going back to my original pick: Star Tours.

LOL! :lol: No, he's creepier, but they've retired Capt. Rex, so it isn't an issue anymore. :P

My vote goes to the Swiss Family Tree House. It has all the comforts of home and would not look out of place on my island!! :goofy_bounce:

funny, you would all go for a wdw ride on the island, but the only attractions with a hope of running without power from the mainland is SFT, and Energy...

ACTUALLY, since I'll have a lot of time on my hands, I think I would decide to use extraneous pieces from the inside of Pirates to build a solar thermal power plant.

If you had the old Alien Encounter attraction...you could try using the teleportation tube to get on and off the island.

Of course...if things went wrong it might not be all that good.

Hmm. Tempted to say Philharmagic because I love Donald, love the movies featured, and the seats and AC are comfy. But I would have to pick Toy Story Mania. Game could keep me endlessly occupied as I figured out Easter eggs, how to beat my high score, etc. Then when I got sleepy, I could go hang out in "Andy's room". And if I'm up for a comedy show, I could visit Mr. Potato Head.

As for the deep fried butter-- :-| I had never heard of it until the TV political coverage at the Iowa State Fair late last year, I think it was. The mere thought of that is just sickening! I'm not from the Deep South by any stretch, but still technically the South. I cannot imagine eating that. Our local minor league baseball team sells deep fried Twinkies and Snickers though. I have never been a fan of fried food, aside from occasional French fries and a rare funnel cake, so none of that stuff for me! My arteries will hopefully thank me later. :donald:
