Tower of Terror is the only ride in WDW that I have never done, and probably never will. I just don't like the feeling of big, straight drops. The pins and needles happened to me years ago on Splash Mountain. I think on that one, I got so nervous about the drop since you go up the big hill sooo slooow, I got a bit stressed and then once I got down the drop I had that tingling in my hands. I just didn't like the feeling. Rock'n Roller Coaster and Expedition Everest are just at the limit for me. They have drops, but it happens so fast I don't get too stressed about it.
I'm thinking that the pins and needles for me was from stress also!! That, or holding onto the lap bar too tight
That is very true about Everest and RnRC; they are so fast that by the time you've registered that it's scary, the ride is almost done! The suspense and build-up (especially on Tower of Terror) is really scary, so I can definitely understand you. The first time I rode Splash Mountain, I was 6 years old and TERRIFIED! Luckily, I grew out of it, because it's now my favorite ride in WDW
Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well!
Woah, you guys were really doing well with rides and all the low wait times! Sounds like a blast!
Awww, thanks! Fortunately it was only a 24-hour bug and I'm feeling better now!!
Haha, my Mom and I get so commando when wait times are low!! We literally run from ride to ride and try to see how much we can get done! Our full Magic Kingdom day in 2015, I think that we managed to get every single ride done except for Carousel of Progress-but that was because it broke down on us! Oh, and except for Stitch too, but that was by choice
Wow, such low crowds at HS how nice for you two. I think the picture heading towards ToT is the least amount of people I have ever seen in that area! I can't handle Rockin but I do love ToT. Poor Andi my daughter, she has to ride RRC by herself
.
DHS was absolutely dead! It was amazing to see the park that empty; it doesn't happen too often anymore!
You and my mom would get along very well! You two can ride ToT while Andi and I ride RnRC
I just read through the whole report! Love reading about your trip. It sounds like so much fun, and makes me wish my parents were Disney lovers like myself. I can't wait to hear about the rest of this trip AND your girl's trip. We're going on our next trip in May, so reading trip reports is keeping me going until then!
and thank you so much for joining along!! It is awesome to have a Disney-loving Mom like myself!! My dad used to be a Disney-lover too but has toned down a bit; he was the one who was booking all of the trips when I was a little girl! Hopefully we can get him to WDW soon to relive the magic
So exciting about your trip in May
May is a great time to go to WDW; the weather is beautiful and sunny (in my experience) and you're there during F&G too!!
Gross teenager will make out anywhere! (I'm in my mid 20's not so I can call 20ish years old people teenagers).
We always get the gangster scene!
Yes I've seen it
Well vacation is the place for guilty pleasure shows and trash tv sooo
They do look alike. Not exactly, but I see it.
Hahahah, those youngins thinking they can go making out everywhere...
We got the Cowboy scene once, last year! As we got off the ride, Mom turned to me and was like, "Did they change this ride?"
She didn't know that there were two tracks!
TLC and Trash TV in general is my favorite...Give me all the Lifetime Movies and TLC!!
Yes! I see it! I watch too much TLC too. I work the night shift and it's the only channel I can guarantee has something on during my 1am lunch break
Haha, thank you for agreeing!!
TLC is such a guilty pleasure..I'm actually watching "My 600 lb Life"
Oh no! Glad you are feeling better, that is definitely NOT fun
Ahhh can't wait! This'll be me...

Ewwwww. I agree, a peck? Sure. Slightly elongated kiss in front of castle for obligatory photo op? Have at it! But that's it... save it for the room peeps
Guilty - let's not even get started woth the embarrassment that is me watching "mama June" and "counting on" lol! ... and I totally see the resemblance !
Hey girl! Yeah....those 24 hours were not fun, but I made it through and we're all good now!
OMG...let me list all of the TLC shows I watch regularly (some as reruns on Youtube)... Say Yes to the Dress, Toddlers and Tiaras, Jon and Kate + 8, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, My 600 Lb Life, Sister Wives, My Strange Addiction, My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.. Ok, I am ashamed now
I'm glad you and your friends had such a nice trip. I'm looking forward to reading about it!
I would love to be able to go to WDW right after Labor Day, but we start school (teacher) in mid-August, so it's usually Fall Break trips for me. We were just there for a four day weekend in January and it was insanely crowded. With the temps in the 80's, I guess the locals came out in full force.
I love the Great Movie Ride and will really miss it. We just got the cowboy scene our last trip and it's been so long since the last time we had it.
I'm not a big Tower of Terror fan. I go on it every chance I get, but I really don't see the attraction with it. I think I enjoy the theme and detailing more than the actual ride.
I used to be a TLC addict. I watched everything on that channel. Than the Gosselins disappointed me. Than the Roloffs. Than the Duggars. I had to make a clean break. Confession: I have watched a few episodes of Outdaughtered and find them adorable. I hope the fame and money doesn't ruin them like so many others.
Thank you!! Ahhh, it stinks that school gets in the way of September trips. Fall is an awesome time to go though too! That's interesting about January; usually, late January's crowds are extremely low!
I agree about Great Movie Ride! I know that some people have their opinions about it but I love it and don't want it to leave
And the theming of ToT definitely does out-do the ride itself; I think if the ride had different theming, it wouldn't be NEARLY as popular!
Mom and I LOVE Outdaughtered!! The Mom seems so chill and relaxed, even though she has so many kids! All of the girls are just so adorable
I used to love Jon and Kate Plus 8 in the earlier seasons, but Jon and Kate became way too intense for me and I got annoyed so I had to stop. I tried watching some of the newer episodes, but stopped because the sextuplets are older now and have attitudes that aren't cute anymore
Every time I get on I ask myself why I ride this because getting stuck on an elevator is literally one of my biggest fears, but I still continue to ride it.
I love Sister Wives! I follow them all on twitter.
He does kind of look like the dad though. It's the hair!
Haha, wow, way to face your fears head on!! I'm impressed!
It is definitely the hair!! Kody totally creeps me out, but Tom Hamilton seems cool enough!!
OMG!!! I used to watch Sister Wives! But DH hates it. So, I can only watch when he is traveling or working late. But I totally know who you are talking about.
Sounded like a great day to hit some rides! WE have yet to do either ToT or RrC. I am hoping my girls will be up for both on our next trip. #fingerscrossed
Sister Wives is the type of show that you love to hate on, right?!
It's like watching a train wreck, you can't look away!!
Ooo, I hope the girls take the risk!! True story: Mom forced me on Tower of Terror at 8 years old. I was totally fine in line, but once we sat down, I lost it. She looked at me and said, "Too bad!" and locked me in! And guess what? After the ride was done, I said I wanted to do it again!
Okay, my stupid quote feature is refusing to work once again so I have to remember what I wanted to comment on
Let's do the important stuff first: love the shirt you got your dad. He's obviously a man of good taste because rock music is the ONLY music worth listening to
says this old woman who doesn't think much that's come out after the early 90's is good AT ALL! As for Tom Hamilton looking like Cody whatever his name is..........I guess I see it. And I have watched Sister Wives and find it a bit intriguing lol. However again, Tom Hamilton = greatness, Cody whatever = weirdness
But both entertain!
Sounds like you had the absolute best time on your girls trip and I can't wait to hear about it! DH and I just returned last night from a quick trip and saw Wishes for the final time, watched right from the middle of Main St. It was sadder than I thought and I'm so glad I saw it again.
I certainly don't mind PDA most of the time but I hear you on it being too much! Over the weekend there was this couple standing in a doorway in the Morocco pavilion basically licking each others' faces
They were NOT in their 20's, either lol! It went on for the entire 10 minutes we stood there watching the Morocco band. I didn't watch the couple for 10 minutes
but I kept glancing over because I thought they HAD to move on!
Hi Ariane!! I hope you had a great time on your trip!!
My Dad loves the shirt too and agrees with you; he loves rock, especially Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd! I love rock too, but I'm definitely more into the soft rock genre, like Fleetwood Mac and Seals and Crofts! I totally agree; Aerosmith is awesome and Sister Wives is just plain odd
I had a great time on my girl's trip!! I was also super sad to see Wishes go; the waterworks definitely came out
Haha, the Morocco pavilion is the most random place to make out too!! Like, it's not even that romantic?! I could maybe see like, on the beach at the Poly or GF for something?
My boyfriend is so anti-PDA, when we go to WDW someday, it's going to be a struggle to even get him to wear matching t-shirts!!
