SAFD Favorite Attractions:
1. Rise of the Resistance.
2. Hyperspace Mountain (Star Wars overlay for
Disneyland). John Williams Star Wars music combined with Space Mountain. Perfection.
3. Star Tours.
4. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
So yes my list is very Star Wars heavy. I grew up on the original trilogy and like to say that the day Disney bought Lucasfilm they bought the last piece of my childhood that I still deeply love all these years later.
Non Star Wars by park:
Disneyland: Space Mountain and Pirates.
California Adventure: Soarin' Over California
Magic Kingdom: 7 Dwarfs Mine Train
Epcot: Mission Space
Disney's Hollywood Studios: Tower of Terror
Animal Kingdom: Expedtion Everest or Flight of Passage.
Overall favorite right now would be Rise of the Resistance. Not going to give spoilers but it is very much worth the effort to get a boarding group.
It is very much worth it. What an incredible experience.
I don't mind Oswald, but if he continues his distance march upward, the inevitable conclusion is that he takes over Dopey and all 4 races and the two challenges are themed to Oswald.
The length, the animatronics, the complete ride storyline, and the fun drop! This is also one that I think is much better at WDW than Disneyland.
I find this interesting because I think Disneyland has more animatronics since they took almost everything from America Sings and the story is tighter in Disneyland.
My all time favorite ride is Pirates (the Disneyland Version)
I like to say that Florida has a short boat ride with some pirates, but does not have Pirates of the Caribbean because the two attractions are so radically different.
Dare I say, though...despite my initial misgivings, I think the Guardians of the Galaxy overlay version in California actually tops the original for me! I'm glad the WDW version is unaltered since I'd be sad if the Twilight Zone version was no more, but I really got a kick out of Mission Breakout.
I think DHS Tower of Terror is the best. Mission Breakout is second and the original DCA Tower of Terror is 3rd.
