119. The relaxing nature of Na’vi River Journey

I know lots of people aren’t huge fans of this ride, but I really enjoy it!

Sad news: Rudy Novotny has been let go by runDisney. A new entertainment director has been hired after the old one retired last year. Rudy was told they are going in a new direction.

But I’m sure they are keeping the one we all dislike...

I’m just hoping they didn’t offer her the job of race announcer. I’ll be bringing earplugs if they do.

120. When you see the wait time for Haunted Mansion is 13 minutes.

She’s a Galloway she isn’t going anywhere.

121. Being a passenger in a Speedway car as my teen son drives and narrates in the voice of Jeremy Clarkson, while MK fireworks go off.

This sucks. Now we’re just stuck with more of SWSNBN. Anyone check on @Keels to make sure she’s not blown a gasket?

SO. LOUD.

122. Sitting in the gift shop next to The Magic Carpets of Aladdin eating popcorn watching the camel spit water on people. It's a Disney tradition for my family.

123. First sip of grand marnier slushie!

124. The smell inside the water rides, esp splash mountain.

125. The dangling bare foot on the bridge in Pirates!

I also think of her when I run Disney. She was there for my first several races.

Thank you for sharing that. I always appreciate the spectators that either cheer for everyone they possibly can, and then louder for their runners or just cheer for the runners.

The ride itself is fine. I just don't think it's a good enough attraction to justify the 2 hour wait times that it usually has.

120. When you see the wait time for Haunted Mansion is 13 minutes.

Or Tower of Terror.

DO NOT CROSS THE LINE WITH YOUR MYLAR BLANKETS YOUR CHIP WILL NOT WORK!! I don't think that could've been more ingrained in my head.

126. Having a beer in the little outdoor patio seating area behind England's beer cart

Yeah... I’m not sure I would stand in line for 2 hours for any ride. Actually, most rides, if they are over an hour, I’m not waiting. Running for hours on end - no problem! But standing?? Ugh, not a fan. I did wait 40 minutes once for this one, but I read a book while waiting and the time went by quickly!

I like this ride better than Peter Pan.

127. Breaking plates in Toy Story Midway Mania!

 

[Sleepless Knight]

Ugh, not a fan. I did wait 40 minutes once for this one, but I read a book while waiting and the time went by quickly!

I waited 60 minutes the afternoon of the WDW 5K, but it went by quickly for me as I chatted with some other runners the entire time. I refuse to use my Tier 1 FastPass+ in Animal Kingdom on NRJ if Flight of Passage is available.

128. Honey coriander wings at Ohana.

 

[KevM]

129. Watching the monorail entering and leaving CR.
130. (As a person with a food allergy) The chefs coming to the table to talk to me.
131. Getting out of the hot sun by going into the very cool and dark SciFi Diner and chilling out by watching old trailers for B-movies and cartoons.
132. The dearly departed Writer’s Stop.

125. The dangling bare foot on the bridge in Pirates!

This is one of the things that always makes me appreciate the creativity of Disney Imagineers. I always marvel at the hair on the leg--such detail!
