Hmmm, it's like asking which is my favorite child!!!!

My two fav attractions (jointly) are Phantom Manor and Pirates of the Caribbean - to me these are the quintessential Disney experiences, and DLP's versions are better than the 2 american parks, or Tokyo's.

As for my fav land, that's difficult too. I think Frontierland because it reminds me of where I grew up in the States. But I also really love Discoveryland - so cool in the retrofuture view. Not as great as it used to be (before Buzz kicked the timekeeper out and when Spacemountain went to the victorian moon), but still very cool.

...WHY DOES EVERYONE ASK THIS QUESTION?! WHY?

I have been asked this several times before, and I never have an official answer (It changes all the time!)

Like one week I'll be singing its a small world all the time, and drawing pics of the small world characters, and stuff, and then the next its "When the crypt doors creek and the tomb stones quake!"

I have a list...a top 10... no wait... if we include wdw, then a top 20! Does this include parades?

Right now, I have an obsession with the dragon beneath the castle, but no doubt it will change within a few days!

This is a really difficult question!!!

I can never really choose between BTM and Buzz's Laser Blast!

My favourite attractions at Disneyland Park are Pirates of the Caribbean and Star Tours. I like the atmopshere and details in both attractions. However, until a few years ago my answer would have been Space Mountain- de la Terre a la Lune.

I completely agree, Frontierland and Discoveryland are my favourite lands, although I like Main Street a lot aswell. Discoveryland has gone a bit downhill in recent years like you mentioned, but its still cool indeed. In recent years (post 2000), Discoveryland was at its best in the summmer of 2004 I think (with Space Mountain- de la Terre a la Lune, Le Visionarium still in place and the recent addition of The Legend of the Lion King). Back then, the area got painted and refurbished aswell (although the Columbiad didn't work properly for years and those animal statue's inhabited Discoveryland). Frontierland is still mostly untouched since 1992 (not counting Woody's Roundup, Pocahontas Playground and the altering of live entertainment). I have to say Frontierland is in good shape after the recent refurbishments.

Quote from: "disneyloverjessie"whats your favourite ride in the disneyland park and why?

Pirates Of The Caribbean because of the details, the animatronics, the soundtrack, the smells, the atmosphere, the short queues...

Quote from: "disneyloverjessie"also your favourite land and why?

Main Street U.S.A. because of the atmosphere, the music, the hidden details, and the view down the street towards Le Chateau de la Belle au Bois Dormant.

Quote from: "disneyloverjessie"your favourite bit of scenery and why?

Boot Hill and the Geysers because they're unique, detailed, and it's just generally a nice little corner of the park to explore.

Its such a difficult one to answer as so much of DLRP is themed so well with so much detail - however today (and it will change all the time) I'd say POTC and BTM.

my fave ride is phantom manor :D

Fave land is Frontierland. I love the smells and the sounds, the way it all looks and the awsome shops. Great veiws, lots of little corners to explore and great attention to details even on the floor! Its just brilliant -total genius!

having said that i also love main street for exactly the same reasons but i defently prefer Frontierland.

Post by: -breeno- on August 07, 2008, 01:29:54 PM
Favourite attraction is either Phantom Manor or BTM because of the story behind them and the amount of theming on them, and their uniqueness.  BTM in DLP is the only BTM to be on a island and PM is the only Haunted Maison to have a story like ours behind it :D

Favourite land has to be Frontierland, everything is right with it.  The attractions, the story, the theming, the shops, the restaurants (Cowboy Cookout yum! :D ) and walking around Frontierland on a hot summer's day is one of the best places i love to be, just looks so cool :D

Favourite bit of scenery?  Have to include Frontierland again :P  Probably Boot Hill for it's theming etc or the whole of Frontierland if i'm allowed to vote for it :P

Post by: ColdSun on August 07, 2008, 04:18:59 PM
this is such a hard question...
I guess my favourite land would be Fantasyland because I'm a girly sucker for princess-like things and I just love the details there and the entire atmosphere. Just looking at the outside of Pizzeria Bella Notte is such a nice feeling for me.
But I also like Frontierland a lot because my favourite ride would be Thunder Mountain I guess. I just can go all day on that one ride, it's so much fun.
Other rides I adore: Phantom Manor, Pirates Of The Carribean, Peter Pan, Mad Hatter's Tea Cups,....

God, this'll take a while. I love the different areas for different reasons. I love Frontierland for it's atmosphere and music and general feel. I love Adventureland for POTC and Blue Lagoon. I'd have to say my favourite ride is between Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast or POTC.
I'm sure I will of changed my mind in a couple of minutes  :lol:

Favourite attraction - Phantom Manor. Better than the American "Haunted Mansion"s. Miles better.

Favourite land - Fantasyland. I just love the theming and love everything about the Disney princesses, so this is the perfect land for me!

Favourite scenery - The castle. Beautiful, classic, elegant. Perfect. :)

So many to choose from??????  :?  :?

....It would be a choice between BTM and POTC....

My favourite part of POTC is going through the Blue Lagoon resturant.
going off the point...(whats the food like there).

There are so many great attractions! I love PotC and I love Buzz!
Normally, my favourite attraction always is a rollercoaster, but space mountain hurts my head and big thunder mountain is a lil´bit slow  :shock:
I think PotC is the best, it´s so well themed and nice for everybody :mrgreen:
Title: Re: Favourite attraction?
Post by: dagobert on October 04, 2008, 08:12:24 PM
My favorite attractions are:

1) Pirates of the Caribbean (the best themed ride)
2) Big Thunder Mountain
3) Space Mountain: Mission 2
4) Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast
5) Peter Pan's Flight

Space Mountain: Mission 2 was my favorite attraction until our last visit. The ride is very bumpy at the moment. I really hope that they can fix it.

Phantom Manor really needs an update. The Haunted Mansion in the Magic Kingdom at WDW is so much better than the DLRP version, but it was recently updated. If our Phantom Manor will receive such an update, I'm sure that this ride will be one of my favorite attractions again.

Post by: luke85 on October 05, 2008, 03:12:19 PM
I always find it so hard to pick my favourites! but i would probably have to say Phantom Manor, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Big Thunder Mountain! but then i also love Space Mountain. and I really love the Carousel in Fantasyland, there's just something about the fairground arrangements of all the classic Disney tunes which really gets to me!
Title: Re: Favourite attraction?
Post by: mattboywonder on October 06, 2008, 10:05:08 PM
That is such a tough question.  I think mine is "Indiana Jones Adventure".  I went to Disneyland (California) when it was new for the 40th anniversary in 1995 and waited 45 minutes in line each time - my 70 year old Gran even went on it with her eyes shut the whole time.  Its a really thrilling ride and I do think the version in DisneySea is slightly better - more intense.
I really love all the classic attractions like Haunted Mansion and Pirates....the atmosphere in Pirates in just so amazing when you first lauch and it feels like you are really outside.  Although I think rides like "Star Tours" is a bit dated now (the technology improved with rides like "StormRider" and "Soarin' Over California") I still love it and have been on it loads of times now.  It still thrilling.  "Soarin' Over California" made the hair on the back of my neck stand up!!!

Really hard to chose, but my favorites definitely are Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pan's Flight and The Haunted Mansion. Think that are also the attractions i visited the most on my last trip. But many other are great too of course.

From last time I went (2001) my favourites were BTM, so much fun  :D and Space Mountain, as it was my first "real roller coaster" I was so proud to have gone on it! I
Also really liked Phantom Manor, Pirates and it's a small world!

Frontierland is my favourite land, I love the atmosphere, and the Castle, it wouldn't be disneyland without it ;)

My favourite ride would undoubtedly have to be POTC! I just love everything, the fact you can see the boats going round from The Blue Lagoon, the music in the queuing, the smell, the lighting! Ahhh, I love it!
My favourite scenery would have to be, just before you walk back into Fantasyland from Adventureland, there's a large rock which I always sit on every time I go and just watch everyone buzzing around with excitement! And obviously if you hadn't gathered, my favourite land is also Adventureland  :lol:

My favourite has to be Big Thunder Mountain...I love it!!  :D  :wink:
From the goats eating the washing on the washing line to getting sprayed with water!! This was my very 1st rollercoaster experience since i was young so it has a very special place in my heart!!  :oops:  :P

I love POTC too and Indiana Jones...But i did enjoy it more when it went backwards! I've broken so many earrings on this ride!!

Hey

My favourite ride is probably Casey jnr and Dumbo- I don't like rollercoasters etc so these rides suit my personality better and they are so cute!
My favourite land is Fantasyland because I love the colours in it and of course it's where the most beautiful building in the world is- Sleeping beauty's castle.
My favourite bit of scenery is when you stand at the bottom of mainstreet at the bandstand and look up and see the magic of main street usa, I also love it at night!

My favourite land is Fantasyland. I like the shops, and the castle, especially the glass windows.
My favourite ride is Lancelots caroussel, because it`s so relaxing and has nice music. Closly followd by the IASW.
And just walking down Main Street makes me happy.
Ask my daughter and she would say"Stitch live" in the blink of an eye.(It`s studios, I know)Followed by Fantasyland.
