The Rides

When we weren't watching a parade, we were probably on a ride or waiting in line for one. Thank goodness for the FastPass system Disney set up. By the 2nd day, we had mastered the FastPass and that allowed us to zip through the lines on all the major attractions.

The absolute best experience was when we FastPassed Space Mountain and walked right past a line of people that had been waiting for over an hour & a half and immediately boarded the roller coaster, and because the grandparents weren't interested in riding any roller coasters, we got to ride a 2nd time too. The waiting crowd shot us some evil looks when we strolled past them again for round 2.

We pretty much rode every ride at every park. We started with the classic It's a Small World. It was a good warm up.I think the award for best roller coaster goes to the Rock' N' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios, but the Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom also deserves an honorable mention.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was Aunt Nguyen's favorite ride, but only because of her nickname, Winnie.I too liked the Winnie the Pooh ride, but I would rank Peter Pan a close 2nd, followed by Snow White's Scary Adventures.

Jax really enjoyed the Dumbo ride. I think he would have enjoyed it even more if Aunt Kelly had been able to make their elephant fly higher.

Hands down, Jax's favorite ride was the Indy Speedway because it was the first time he was actually able to drive the car. Once was definitely not enough for our future race car driver. Nope, as soon as we finished round 1, he was already begging to go again.
