Hi all. Long time lurker, first time poster here. I moved to Pensacola just under a year ago for flight school and Im planning to go to Orlando for Christmas so Im finally going to get to go to Disneyworld! Originally coming from California Im pretty excited to see the differences and similarities between the two parks. In any case I have a few questions for you all and hope you can help.
First of all I will be staying with a friend that isn't as, how shall I say, freakishly enthused as most of us are about going to the park. Understandably, she lives near the park and has season tickets so the magic has probably wore off on her a bit. What Im wondering is what other parks there would be worth going to. She suggested the park hopper pass and we are tentatively planning for Universal and EPCOT as well as Disneyworld. Any tips on the parks to go to in the area. We are even considering Busch gardens so distance isnt too big of a deal.
Secondly, and this makes me sad, is she said she probably wont go on the Haunted Mansion. Apparently she is extremely claustrophobic and the one time that she DID go on it she was make deals with God while in the stretching room if he would just get her through it. She says the rest of the ride is fine with her but just not that part. Its a long shot, but im curious if there is any way she can be passed by that part. I hold little hope for that but thougt Id ask you all. Second, since Ive never been on a ride like this alone before, do they normally pair you up with someone else on the doombuggy or let you ride solo?
Thanks in advance to all of you for solving any of these questions. Maybe I will see some of you there over the Chrismas holidays.
