    Aquaduck disney dream

    I'm not sure of the exact speed, but as someone who is pretty timid when it comes to rides it was quite tame! I had a blast on it!

    Coronado Tower vs. Old Rooms

    I personally would choose Gran Destino over the regular rooms. We've stayed at Coronado Springs twice and it's such a large, sprawling resort that I think the convenience of being in the main tower is well worth the price. It's also absolutely stunning and feels more like a deluxe resort at a...

    Which would you pick ?

    It may not be elaborate as some of the resorts during the holidays, but POFQ still has lovely decorations and I don't think it's any less festive than Animal Kingdom Lodge or Boardwalk. Especially if budget is a factor, I think it's worth it to keep your reservation at French Quarter! Hope you...

    Updated rooms are boring!

    I love the Pop Century remodeled rooms (which aren't that recent anymore). I think they feel much more modern and clean! I also think the new Grand Floridian rooms look gorgeous and loved our Moana themed room at Poly when we stayed there.

    Replace a Song on Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind

    "Disco Inferno" (because I get it every time and I'm over it 🙃) for "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence + the Machine, especially since it would be a great tie in for GOTG Vol. 3!

    Most magical moment at WDW (fairly recently)?

    Fantasmic! came back on my birthday last year and my group and I made it into the first showing the night it returned. The crowds were crazy, but the energy was amazing and it was great to experience the new scenes with no spoilers!

    Best ride of the lands based on movies in Orlando?

    It has to be Flight of Passage for me! It still makes me a little emotional every time I ride it and I've never even seen Avatar 😂

    Contemporary Resort Questions

    Just stayed at Bay Lake Tower 2 weeks ago, both the Bay Lake Tower and Contemporary feature pool closed at 11pm! Have a great trip 🤗

    Has Magic Kingdom nighttime atmosphere ever been the same since Spectromagic Left?

    I still love Magic Kingdom at night, but I do think it has a different vibe than it used to when SpectroMagic was still running.

    What's the scariest mountain?

    I totally relate to the fear of coasters! I do think Space Mountain is scarier than Thunder, but only because of the darkness and the shadows of the track from above feeling very close (even as someone who's short). I actually think Thunder is faster and the back row makes the drops feel bigger...

    Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run vs Star Tours - The Adventures Continue

    I've always loved Star Tours and I don't think that Smuggler's Run improved on that concept. I like going to planets I'm familiar with and seeing characters that I love, Smuggler's Run just doesn't deliver on that.

    Grand Floridan Resort & Spa vs Contemporary Resort

    I haven't had the chance to stay at Contemporary yet, but I LOVED our stay at Grand Floridian and can't wait to go back. Also just when it comes to resort hopping, I've always loved spending time at Grand Floridian and end up there far more often than Contemporary.

    how long are you willing to wait for a ride?

    As a local, I'm willing to wait 90 for Flight of Passage, Rise of the Resistance, and Runaway Railway. 60 minutes for Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, and Mine Train. Everything else is pretty much a 30 minute max for me, though I'm much more flexible and willing to wait for pretty much...
