Copy the text below and paste it into the reply box, then add your answers. Please restrict it to Disneyland only as DCA has not fully matured as a theme park yet. No, I don't work for Disney, this is just out of curiosity.

I'll give it a shot, but don't expect to like it. This is for YOUR curiosity, specifically, so you can expect some of these answers to be directly related to the posts I see from you in this forum.

Favorite Imagineer: Don't know any, couldn't care less so long as they do their job.

10 best current attractions: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Space Mountain, Finding Nemo, Haunted Mansion, Matterhorn, Splash Mountain, DIsneyland Railroad.

5 best former attractions: I get that you want everyone to put the Mine Train Through Hell here. Isn't going to happen. The ride is closed and was replaced with something better. Get over it.

Attraction you have been on more than any other: Either Haunted Mansion or Pirates.

Attraction you have never been on: Been on all of them.

Current attraction you will never go on again: Innoventions.

Shortest average wait: Who cares? The wait times are not going to be the same year round.

Longest average wait: Waiting for Space Mountain in the blazing sun with no shade for two or three plus hours is a fond memory. I remember waiting in line for Indiana Jones for five hours the year it opened.

Best attraction queue: Stupid questions abound in this list, don't they?

Best attraction pre-show: Star Tours has some good things going on while in line.

Best attraction storyline: Splash Mountain, probably.

Best attraction music: Pirates

Best attraction spiel: Haunted Mansion. The previous voice of Thurl Ravenscroft doing the spiel for the Disneyland Railroad.

Best attraction set design/artwork: Storybook Land Canals

Best attraction landscaping: Train that circles the park. The entire park is the landscaping, so you can't go wrong with that.

Most immersive attraction: Don't care.

Most thrilling attraction: Any of the fast rides.

Most boring attraction: Small World.

Best attraction ending: Small World. Getting out of the boat with a promise to never go on it again will always beat out every other attraction.

Attraction with worst post-attraction feeling (dizziness, nausea, etc.): Small World.

Best animatronic figure: Are you doing this for a cellege thesis or something?

Best visual effect: When you reach the outside world again near the end of Small World.

Most unconvincing effect: Davy Jones on the fog in Pirates telling me that he's going to kill me if I go on the ride again. Before that, Jonny Dep sounding so utterly bored and unenthusiastic about being involved with a Disney ride while singing Pirates Life for Me.

Best attraction scene or room: The treasure room with the skeleton in Pirates, or any one of the closeby exit doors in SMall World, offering a chance to escape the rest of the ride.

Worst attraction scene or room: All of Small World.

Best ride vehicle: The trains for the Disneyland Railroad.

Worst ride vehicle: Boats from Small World. I could walk through the ride faster. Heck, I'd be running to get out shortly after entering.

Best attraction costume: Anything that shows cleavage.

Worst cast member costume: Most of the characters due to the costumes being suffocating, and inducing almost blinding B.O..

Best walk-through attraction: If you're trying to get me to admit that I can walk through Innoventions, I refuse to do so. I won't even go in that place again. So, on that note, I know I'm able to walk through the Starcade or the Disney Gallery.

Best exhibit: Disney Gallery.

Best photo spot: Disneyland. Is that specific enough for you?

Best waterway: Splash Mountain. I'd completely forgotten about this ride until now.

Best view of park: From the top of the Matterhorn if you have the chance to climb it.

Best building or structure: Haunted Mansion.

Ugliest building or structure: All of Toon Town.

Best spot to sit and relax: The small courtyard fronting the Main Street cone Shop.

Best live entertainment: People watching is a favorite. There's some strange characters that go into the park. Seems like a lot of them frequent these forums.

Best in-park character: Donald Duck

Best daily event: I like when the park opens, personally.

Best snack food from cart or stand: Corndog cart.

Worst snack food from cart or stand: Mint Julep. I find I like them somteims, but the experience isn't always the same. I've had good ones, and really bad ones.

Best counter service eatery: Most of the places I frequent are ok. They could all use some improvements from time to time. During the last week visit I was there, food order accuracy upon delivery was only 10% successful, which is unquestionably bad for anything resembling a food service industry. The majority of the park staff really goes the extra mile to make sure that the guests are having a good time though, and that somewhat makes up for the lack of hot fudge when one specifically orders a HOT FUDGE sundae.

Worst counter service eatery: Pizza Port.

Best full-service restaurant: Blue Bayou.

Worst full-service restaurant: RAncho Del Zocalo Restaurante. I used to love this place, but the last few times I've been there, my order has not been correct, and the food has not been so great.

Best food item in park: Corndog.

Best beverage in park: Milk shakes from Bigson Girl Ice Cream Parlor.

Worst food or beverage item in park: Turkey Legs. What the hell were they thinking? Chicken legs are bad enough, but a fricking turkey leg is just too much.

Best time of day to visit: When I visit, I get there when the park opens, and stay until well after closing. So, this is not applicable.

Worst time of day to visit: Not applicable.

Best day of week to visit: Hard to say. Everyday at Disneyland is a good day, although the less crowded ones are easier for line waits. At the same time, the busier days are simply more engaging to a degree that the excitement becomes palpable.

Worst day of week to visit: Any day that Mouseplanet staff is there acting like they own the place.

Best time of year to visit: I adore being there in the summer when later hours are the norm. Spring isn't bad if you're into not waiting in line very long. Fall and Winter are just fine, too, except you might run into that idiot Jack Skellington who won't shut the hell up for the lack of life in him.

Worst time of year to visit: See above.

Best place to park: I prefer not having a car there at all, honestly. Best place to park is across the street at whatever hotel I'm staying in, meaning I can just get off my fat *** and walk to the park instead of asking for a horse and carriage to get me there.

Worst place to park: Having a car at all is a bad idea in the Disney area.

Best bargain hotel: Not Applicable.

Worst bargain hotel: That one not far from the park that lets you pay your bill, but then decides that you owe them another fifty bucks, and locks you out of your room in the middle of the night until you've paid up. I'm not entirely certain why they haven't been shut down yet as they have been pulling this scam for a number of years.

Best luxury hotel:

Worst luxury hotel:

Best Disney animated film: Wow, this has nothing to do with anything inside Disneyland, unless you're hinting at the black and white shorts they sow in the Mainstreet theater. You wanted us to keep this inside Disneyland, didn't you?

Best Disney live-action film: They don't exist. Wait, The World's Strongest Man wasn't bad.

Worst Disney animated film: Lion King tops my list. I never got into it. Oh wait, ANY of that sequal stuff that was released directly to video, and anything with computer graphics not done by Pixar is right up there, such as the Tinker Bell **** that they keep trying to hock to the public now.

Worst Disney live-action film: There are too many to mention. The list would be longer than your list of redundant questions.

Best Disney movie song: Arabian Nights from Aladdin.

Worst Disney movie song: Just Can't Wait to be King from Lion King. Nobody cares, kid.

Favorite Disney villain: Maleficent. She was bad *** as a witch alone, and then she turned herself into one of the cooler looking Disney Dragons.

Favorite Disney protagonist: Woody from Toy Story. You've got to respect a guy who works hard to prove himself by rescuing somone who outclasses him in every way.

Funniest Disney character: I'm torn between Donald and Scrooge McDuck.

How many miles do you live from Disneyland?: You planning on visiting me and explaining why you asked all of these questions or something?

The #1 priority for Disneyland now is: I have a feeling it would be a grand idea to ban a number of the members from Mouseplanet, including staff, from the parks. More specifically, they need to get rid of people who appear as homicidal maniacs that like to jump into camera shots, as well as people who just feel the need to have park security around them when few or zero people are going to think they are anyone to notice at all.

How immature....if you didn't want to play the game , why not just move on to the next post. Contrary to what you might think, some people have never been to DL and are actually interested in other people's views. These boards are used as research tools for newbies like myself. I can tell you who sounds like the idiots in this thread.
Go ahead... flame me:p

I'm bored and don't feel good. Here goes.


Favorite Imagineer: Walt Disney.. and I know a guy who has a window on Main Street so I'd have to say him too.

10 best current attractions: Space, Big Thunder, Haunted, Splash, Jungle Cruise, Pirates, Indy, Buzz, and Matterhorn

5 best former attractions: Circlevision, Peoplemover, the original version of Innoventions, dunno what else.

Attraction you have been on more than any other: Probably Buzz.

Attraction you have never been on: I've been on all of them. Haven't been to the new Princess Fantasy Faire though.

Current attraction you will never go on again: Probably Gadget's Go Coaster.
The line is always long and it's kinda lame.

Shortest average wait: Umm.. I'm going to hazard a guess and say Pirates? Or Buzz?

Longest average wait: Again, a guess: Summer time I'd say Splash. All other times Indy and Space.

Best attraction storyline: Haunted and Pirates.

Best attraction music: Space Mountain (the RHCP version though).

Best attraction spiel: Haunted and Jungle Cruise.

Best attraction landscaping: All of them. None of them seems really out of place except maybe the Innoventions building.

Most immersive attraction: Ummmmm. I don't know. Maybe Tiki Room?

Most thrilling attraction: Space Mountain!

Most boring attraction: Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

Best attraction ending: Buzz Lightyear because it's always a big competition in my family to see who wins.

Attraction with worst post-attraction feeling (dizziness, nausea, etc.): Teacups.

Best animatronic figure: Mr. Lincoln.

Best visual effect: I liked the Ghost Galaxy effects.

Most unconvincing effect: I'm not sure. A Fantasyland ride though I think.

Best attraction scene or room: I like the dining room part of Haunted.

Worst attraction scene or room: I don't like the part where the ghosts jump out at you in the attic part of Haunted.

Worst ride vehicle: Autopia. Uncomfortable.

Best attraction costume: Haunted Mansion or the ones on Main Street in the shops.

Best daily event: Riding the rides, of course.

Best snack food from cart or stand: Frozen bananas. And Diet Coke.

Worst snack food from cart or stand: The chimichangas look nasty. So does the corn on the cob and turkey legs. That all just grosses me out.

Best counter service eatery: Hmm. The place on the end of Main Street on the right? With the fried chicken. I forgot what it's called.

Worst counter service eatery: Pizza Port. Their pizza is like cardboard.

Best full-service restaurant: Well, if I'd been to Club 33 it would probably be my answer. I like Blue Bayou, though.

I'm not going to do the whole thing (far too long of a survery I think) but I'll have a stab at some of it:

10 best current attractions (or, in my case, 10 attractions that do not need any plussing):

Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Roger Rabbit's Car-toon Spin, Buzz Lightyear Astro-Blasters, Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer's Island, and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and two of the runners-up to round out the list: Peter Pan's Flight (with an improved load system or Fastpasses), and Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye (with improved special effects and technology)

Attractions you have never been on:

It's a Small World (with Disney Characters) and the new Sleeping Beauty's Castle Walkthrough.

Current attraction you will never go on again:

Innoventions

Shortest average wait:

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

Longest average wait:

Finding Nemo: Submarine Voyage

Best attraction queue:

Tie between Indiana Jones Adventure and Roger Rabbit's Car-Toon Spin

Best attraction pre-show:

Haunted Mansion

Best attraction storyline:

Indiana Jones Adventure

Best attraction music:

…All of them…

Best attraction set design/artwork:

See 'Best Attraction Queue'

Most immersive attraction:

For the whole package I'd say see 'Best Attraction Queue' again, but for just the ride itself it has to be Finding Nemo: Sumbarine Voyage.

Most thrilling attraction:

Splash Mountain, I still occasionally get nervous going up the final hill.

Most boring attraction:

Innoventions

Best attraction ending:

Indiana Jones Adventure

Attraction with worst post-attraction feeling (dizziness, nausea, etc.):

Innoventions (that was [insert time here] of my Disneyland trip that I'm never getting back).

Best animatronic figure:

Captain Jack Sparrow in the Barrel on Pirates of the Caribbean.

Best visual effect:

Roger Rabbit's Portable Hole and the car going into 'reverse' on Indiana Jones Adventure

Most unconvincing effect:

Being blown out the whale's blowhole on Finding Nemo: Submarine Voyage (I'm all for suspension of disbelief, but it requires a shred of realism).

Best attraction scene or room:

Haunted Mansion Streatch Elevator

Worst attraction scene or room:

See 'Most unconvincing effect'

Best ride vehicle:

Indiana Jones Adventure's Motion Simulator Vehicles

Worst ride vehicle:

Matterhorn Mountain Bobsleds

Best attraction costume:

Haunted Mansion Holiday (I want those bat-ties)

Worst cast member costume:

Most Fantasyland costumes

Best walk-through attraction:

I know this is streatching, but the queue for Roger Rabbit's Car-Toon Spin. I never get fastpasses for that one because you miss more than half the experience if you do.

Best photo spot:

The whole park

Best view of park:

Tip Top of Chickapin Hill

Best building or structure:

Sleeping Beauty's Castle

Ugliest building or structure:

Autopia queue

Best live entertainment:

Fantasmic!

Best in-park character:

Captain Jack Sparrow and (for a limited time) Indiana Jones

Best daily event:

Opening

Best counter service eatery:

Rancho Del Zocallo

Best full-service restaurant:

The Blue Bayou

Best food item in park:

Enchiladas at Rancho Del Zocallo

Best time of day to visit:

Opening

Worst time of day to visit:

mid-day

Best day of week to visit:

Monday

Worst day of week to visit:

Saturday

Best time of year to visit:

After Thanksgiving, but befor you get too far into December

Worst time of year to visit:

February or September

The #1 priority for Disneyland now is:

Makeover several attractions (i.e. Improved special effects and a new ride system on Indiana Jones Adventure, a Tokyo quality overhaul of the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and putting the fun back in Toontown after the laywers stole it) and then assess what attractions have passed their time and either update them or tear them out (I'm looking at you Innoventions, Autopia, and Honey, I Shrunk the Audience).

Best live entertainment: People watching is a favorite. There's some strange characters that go into the park. Seems like a lot of them frequent these forums.

Worst day of week to visit: Any day that Mouseplanet staff is there acting like they own the place.

The #1 priority for Disneyland now is: I have a feeling it would be a grand idea to ban a number of the members from Mouseplanet, including staff, from the parks.

You seem to have a lot of anger at this place, why do you bother to come here at all?

You know you are not forced to come to this website, right?

If this was sarcasm or humor, it was a little over the top.
