Soarin' is great, but I'm going to have to go with Expedition Everest.

I'm kinda over Soarin. It's a really old ride

I would say at Magic kingdom the new Ariel ride was lots of fun and I thought they did a really good job with it.

@wonderstruck: What do you soar over?

I'm going there soon, and I need awesome tips. Great thread!

@Crystal: Expedition Everest is in Animal Kingdom!!

@IRunForFun: oooh! Thanks!

Pirates! I could ride that one all day Splash Mountain is a verrry close second though!

I'm so excited to see what else people recommend!

Ahhhh I can't pick one!!

I guess if I did Id pick Rock N Roller Coaster

I also love toy story mania, Soarin and splash mountain

We're huge Disney lovers, so this is hard for me, but I'm going to have to say Splash Mountain. That's the ride I could probably ride all day and never get bored. I love the animatronics, the watery drop, and the ending always makes me grin ear to ear. Loves how it tells a story and the music!!

That is so hard! I love Soarin and Everest... But the classics like pirates and haunted mansion are so good too! I'd probably pick Everest if I had to choose one to ride a ll day.

I've been to Disney world several times and each time I couldn't go on Splash Mountain! One time is was closed for repairs, another time there was lightning within a certain distance and they closed it. We were next in line to go on too! So close! I am dying to go.

@jedeve: Do you mean Tom Sawyer Island, or River Country? River Country is (or should I say was) the waterpark that had that feel to it. It was closed in 2001 though

@Crystal: Soarin' is a ride at Epcot. The full name, which explains a bit more, is Soarin' over California. It's a simulator type ride where the rows of seats are lifted into the air with your feet hanging, and they sway around in front of a giant screen - sounds weird but it's so cool! They even pump in the appropriate smells to help you feel like you're really in whatever scene you're experiencing. Like, on is an ocean scene with crashing waves, and I always catch myself lifting my feet like they're going to get wet, haha! It's located in The Land pavilion (part of Future World.)

@SnowLion: Expedition Everest would be my favorite if they would fix the Yeti! I'm hoping maybe once the Avatar stuff opens they'll finally do that.

@abbydabbydoodlebug: I also debated between the one I chose and the classics like Pirates and Haunted Mansion. DH and I have a tradition where when we arrive at Disney (typically in the middle or towards the end of the day) the first thing we do is always Pirates.

@Crystal: we were just there last month , dh and his friend drank around the world while my 6 month pregnant friend and I are around the world we had a blast!!

The only one I remember is Space Mountain. I can't even tell you where it is. I remember it from 2nd grade and 7th grade. That was in 1999ish.

Mr. Toad's wild ride!!! I don't care if they turned it into Winnie the Pooh. I still think it is the best ride ever.

@abbydabbydoodlebug: Yes, it is! And I'm guessing you mean Narcoosee's. They're awesome too. My DH loves their surf n turf

@Crystal: Haha thank you! My friends all love to tease me, but you know who they're coming to when they need advice on it My DH's favorite is California Grill - it's at the top of the Contemporary Resort. Their dinner reservations fill up fast, but it's super cool because you can go outside during dinner and watch the fireworks from the balcony, they pipe the music in and everything. And the food is totally amazing, my DH is particularly obsessed with their California Rolls, which I can't really comment on since I'm not a big fan of sushi.

We always struggle with getting a good spot for Illuminations at Epcot (like, we'll camp out at our spots an hour beforehand and then have people trying to push us out of the way 5 minutes before it starts) so on our last trip we made dinnertime reservations at the Rose & Crown Cafe since it's right up against the lagoon. and you're not fighting for space. Although that may not be as important now that they've rolled out the Fastpass+, I guess you can reserve special viewing spots for the nighttime shows using that?
