ok, sorry we were at EPCOT yesterday so I was not checking in. Let's see...MY favorite park is MK. My family disagrees, but it's MY spotlight, right? I love the feel of Magic Kingdom, it's the park that I feel the most magic, I love Main Street, the confectionary, the castle, it's just magical! Unfortunately we go there the least sad My favorite attraction at MK is probably Buzz Light year, but my favorite overall attraction is Mt. Everest, it's the best!
I will work on the pics, need my techy daughter's help.
We are local and have annual passes, so we go ALOT. We are both teachers, so we have the same days off and are off on holidays and the summer, so last summer we went at least once a week. We probably average twice a month, depending on the time of year. My dh coaches golf, and my daughter is on the golf team, so we have had a dry spell, hadn't been there since the end of Sept. due to golf. Golf season is over now, so we have more time. We go for short amounts of time and rarely spend the whole day. Yesterday we got there about 3:30 and left at 8. When it gets hot or we get tired, or it rains, we just go home.
The restaurant one is tough, because we really don't eat there a whole lot. We love Boma, the food is different. We really like Cali Grill and Prime Time but haven't been there for years, so I'm not sure I have an answer. There are lots of places we'd like to eat but have never been to like Ohana, Whispering Canyon, Yak and Yeti, to name a few. Most of the time we go on a whim and decide that day to go, so we don't ever get adrs. The one downside of an ap. We could call and check for cancellations, but we really can't afford to eat there all the time anyway. We're a little different than all of you who are here on vacation, but feel lucky we can go so often.
Thanks for the questions! Keep em coming...

Favorite Disney memory?

Goodness, I have so many...not sure I can pick a favorite! Probably when I was pregnant with Riley, the baby who is 13 now. We went to Disney a lot to walk around later in my pregnancy. I was sitting on the bench near the bathrooms near Star TOurs while Mike and the kids rode it, and I was very pregnant, like overdue. Someone asked when I was due, and when I said YESTERDAY, she almost fell over, the shocked look on her face was priceless! She went and told her whole family that I was due yesterday, no one could believe it! I felt good and wasn't that far from home so it was all good! She was born the next day!
I remember taking Riley for the first time when she was 3 weeks old. She's still our Disney baby today!
I can so relate to the Pizza Planet incident. One time we were leaving, returning the stroller at MK, and Riley was like 2 and having a complete and total 2 yr old meltdown. We walked in front of her, but Logan who was 7 was so upset, he went back to her and bribed her with candy and picked her up and carried her to us. It was cute and sweet but really did not help by reinforcing her behavior! (she's still the spoiled 13 yr old baby, and Logan still caters to her!)
Over the years we have met many friends and family from up north, and certain places make me think of them.
Our life is a big Disney memory, and it was really cool raising our kids with Disney as their playground. We have endless family Disney memories, and lots of Disney inside-jokes.
We also lost Logan several times when he was younger, to the point that we didn't even worry, we knew a cm would return him, and they always did!

Alright.... who would you take from here and the first thing you would do in The World?

And if you got stuck on a ride. Which one would you enjoy being stuck on and which one would drive you insane?

Mase, I hate this question, so I am not going to answer!!! There are so many cool and interesting people on here, I really could not choose, and since I don't have to, I won't! Sorry biggrin
The ride I would like to get struck on would be Toy Story Mania. We don't ride it very often due to the line, but when we do, I always lose. Think of all the points I could rack up!!! 16yr old dd looked up all the cheats and secrets and even beat Mike, and Mike ALWAYS wins (at everything, he's like that).
As far as the worst ride to be stuck on, I would have to say Primeval Whirl. That is the one ride I absolutely cannot stand, and to be stuck on it would send me over the edge, literally! I think I could tune out Small World, but don't put me on Primeval Whirl! I'd hate to be stuck on Dinosaur too, I think that giant dino would eventually eat me!
