-never had a dole whip
-never watched ANY of the films in World Showcase
-never visited Tom Sawyer Island or ridden the paddlewheel boat
-cried like a baby on my fave ride The Haunted Mansion the first time I rode it. I was five.
-I don't own one of those classic "Goofy" hats with the ears, but I do own a beanie, aka a propeller hat, with Mickey on top of it. (on a side note, my sister bought a pair of ears once and asked for "Annette" to be embroidered on the back. the CM replied, "Who?" we were appropriately appalled)
I've never ridden the boat either, and when i realized this last semester, I made it one of my highest priorities. Unfortunately, that was about the same time it went down for refurb and hasn't been reopened yet. So I still have yet to give it a spin.Quote:

There is one place in the MK I have never been and that Tom Sawyers Island oh yeah never rode the astro obiters either line seem way to long to get on them.
According to the Magic Kingdom webpage as of like 45 seconds ago... it gave a reopening date of Feb 28th. You should be fine if you're going in may.Quote:

I've never had a Turkey Leg and don't have a clue what a Dole Whip is, unless it's another name for a Citrus Swirl?!
Oh and my worst secret, which is probably going to make some of you crazy, is that I'm ashamed to say I really don't like Jungle Cruise! Sorry!
I absolutely loathe the Country Bears.....
There I said it..lol
to update, for anyone who cares:Quote:

my wife won't let me buy one of those Goofy hats b/c she says, "That's the Dad hat! you can't have one unless you're a dad!"
oh well, that will hafta wait, I guess.
I'll level with ya, T--I'm genuinely a little annoyed when I see kids under eight years of age ride for the first time and seem totally unaffected by the experience.Quote:

Ok, ok... I'm just kidding. To each their own preferences of course.
I stole my daughter's princess crown last year so I could wear it. I convinced her that it made her head hurt. Does that make me a bad mom?
Oh, fine. It wasn't like I didn't give her some Mickey ears to wear!
I'll make sure both of us have a crown in December.
