In my pre-low-carb days, I would walk through three or four times. Or if I was particularly bold and peckish, I would start at City Hall by securring an "It's my Birthday" sticker (taking it off until I got to the Tortilla Factory) just so I could score and entire dozen. That and a Coke would make for a nice light supper.

I crack up at the spanish voice on Grizzley River Run.

I'm plotting new and evil ways to get back at line-cutters for my next trip in June.

I have never been to the tortilla place previously mentioned, and am not planning on ever going.

Never been on the Sun Wheel or the Orange thing.

Mickey Mouse is a bit annoying.

My first child was actually born on the same day that the last Maint St. Electrical Parade ran through DL. We saw it the night before, due to my upcoming induction the next morning.

I have never been on the Columbia.

I didn't open my eyes on the Haunted Mansion until I was 16 years old.

They took away my leather jacket at Grad Night, becuase it had a zipper (it was plastic for goodness sake), and it was misplaced.

Now that is true geekness.

I like turkey legs.

I often have been to the park (from open to close) and did not ride anything at all.

One of my favorite spots at the park is TSI. One of my favorite spots in DCA is inside the Animation Bldg.

I have never been on Mullholand Madness, the Sun Wheel, the Zephyr, the Maliboomer and that one in the large orange.

I never liked The Nightmare Before Christmas, but enjoy the overlay for the HM. But after seeing it several times, I think I enjoy the soundtrack more than the ride itself.

I trip out over the smallest addition to the park. The small touches make me happy.

I love Peter Pan's Flight but hate to wait in that frickin' line.

I point out the Wicked Queen's window to complete strangers often. They seem to appreciate it.

I liked the atmosphere of Big Thunder BBQ and wished it was back.

I think Nathan Lane in The Lion King is hysterical.

While posting this, I got goosebumps listening to Walt's section of 'Parade of Dreams'.

In many ways, I am bored with Disneyland. Two exceptions are the fireworks and Fantasmic! The main thing that keeps me going back are spending time with friends.

I'm very tired of Pirates. The only thing that makes it intereting for me is the prospect of a sinking.

I would like to ride Splash more often, but the wait sucks.

Pooh sucks.

Like Disneyphile, Star Tours makes me ill and I don't ride it (although I do not mind waiting while others ride it) and I miss Captain Eo.

R2P2 is my favorite "regular" place to eat in DL.

On the subject of rude APs: if I see someone (who appears to be a mundane) looking at the map and looking like they are confused, is it rude to offer assistance on how to get where they want to be?

I don't think it is rude, as long as they want the assistance. I think that can add to their experience as long as we (AP's) don't go overboard.

I know for myself I have a lot more knowledge than some others care to know, and remembering to just give the assistance that is asked. Then if they inquire more and I can expand on my vast minutiae knowledge. As long as I remember they asked the time, not how to build a watch, I don't walk away thinking that I may have scared them.

And I really look forward to finding the hidden Mickey in the dining room on Mansion. It silly and it's geeky, but it is a small thrill I get to experience every single time!
