Day 5: A picture of your least favorite ride or attraction

Day 5: A picture of your least favorite ride or attraction

This photo actually shows four I'm not crazy about: Space Mountain, the Raceway, Teacups and the one I'm going to discuss...20,000 Leagues under the Sea.

Let me explain: As a six year old, born and raised in Florida, I knew Mickey and his friends were actually people in costumes, but I also knew that mermaids were real...my brothers had seen them just north of us.

So, when they say we're going on a submarine ride including mermaids, I assumed they would be real ones, but they weren't. They were fake and the squid was very fake, too. I was horribly disappointed. I wanted something more like what they would later accomplish with the Nemo ride at Epcot...which is awesome.

I've never seen any of the Disney Afternoon characters in the parks. I felt lucky just to get a scrapper pin of Gadget once...

LOTSO, of course.

Did you think I would pick someone else?

Sadly, he won't be there forever, but I'll treasure those moments always. He's the only character I've hugged four times. I've hugged Pooh three times. Also, that's Lotso on my shirt. He got a real kick out of that.
