I gotta see it someday. I always use that time to get more rides in. Sounds magical.

I was just there a month ago, and it still doesn't feel real. My heart.

For me, it might be Space Mountain's star tunnel, Peter Pan's load area, or the Dinosaur load area. I guess I like stations.

If WDW is the most magical place on Earth, then what is the most magical place in the most magical place on Earth?

The thing I’ll miss most about DinoLand U.S.A. is obviously Dinosaur, but Pterodactyl Pterrace might be a close second.

I've finally finished my "shorter" script. It's my longest one yet.

Hoping to have the video ready by Halloween!

Yessss. I wasn't expecting this answer, but this just might be the one.

It was my favorite WDW ride for the longest time. It has absolutely everything with the atmosphere, dark ride scenes, and elite airtime.

I've walked by that sign hundreds of times and somehow have noticed it!

Also, I just wanted to appreciate this little restroom sign with the little sign people doing the "I have to go to the bathroom" stance.

Overall, I'm glad I got to try it out! The Conjuring Universe alone was more than worth it. the rest was just a bonus. The scare zones were great too. Nothing beats being in a woody theme park around Halloween.

Conjuring and/or haunt fans, do yourself and check out Fright Fest!

It was great to get a few rides on coasters too! And Monster Mansion, duh!

I was lucky enough to get a zen night ride on Mindbender. That was one of my favorite moments on a ride all year.

I don't have a picture, but...

Carnival of Chaos was...hmm. I thought I was going to suffocate in there. 😅 It has a pitch-black hallway that basically smashes you between inflatable bounce houses. You're completely swallowed while pushing your way out.

Never again, please!

I also enjoyed Camp Slasher! The setting in the forested Thunder River queue gave it so much ambiance.

Nyctophobia was solid. I always enjoy a good pitch-black house.

SAW: Legacy of Terror was also quality!

I don't love this franchise (the gore is too much), but the scare actors in here were giving it their all. I'll never forget the blood curdling screams in there. 🫣

The Conjuring Universe was probably the scariest house I've done this year.

If you're a fan of this franchise like me, you have to see it for yourself. Packed with surprises, scares, and excellent sets. Wildest part was a possessed contortionist scare actor. 😳 Gave me chills.

I got to visit Fright Fest at Six Flags Over Georgia last night; it was better than expected!

The Conjuring Universe was definitely the star, but I enjoyed it all—except the part where I was swallowed alive in the clown house. 😳

Here's a thread about my thoughts. 🧵

For sure! My only pushback for some of these would be the other Disney resorts have preferred versions, like DLP's Big Thunder or Anaheim's Pirates. If anyone's a hater of those attractions though, they're just grumpy.

Coasters have good days and bad days. It's not often, but I've regretted riding some of my favorite coasters a few times.

The overall park vibe definitely helps with the overall mood!

PeopleMover is basically therapy. And the Space Mountain queue! 😭 (I love the ride too.) Tomorrowland is a special place.

I can see that. It's rare every effect will be working. You might be in a bad seat. A number of small factors could impact the experience.

I love it when a ride blows my expectations away and I get that giddy feeling to rush back in line.

One of the best parts of any fandom is how there's always something for everyone. We don't always agree because we have different preferences; that's why we have a variety of incredible attractions.

But what's an attraction we can all agree is a 10/10, everyone loves it?
