How very true, but in my case, reverse it. I can't visit WDW without feeling like I'm at work. (I work there, y'see.) On the other hand, Disneyland still feels like an escape for me, and I'm awfully glad it does.

So, Alex, will we ever learn what one ride has repeat value for you?

And speaking of repeating rides, here is my own observation. On any given visit to Disneyland, and those only happen every few years, it doesn't pay for me to go on anything more than once. When I do take in a favorite ride a second or third time, the result is a diminishing enjoyment and increased focus on what isn't working or how it might be improved. On the other hand, those rides that I visit only once stay burnished and bright in memory. My visit of two weeks ago took place during an ungodly crowded weekend, so I only got one shot on any given attraction. So, it worked out swell.

My own "confessions"

- I hate turkey legs
- I love "It's a Small World" (but only once per visit, please!)
- I'm over Fantasmic (on either coast)
- I love 'El Rio del Tiempo"
