The nerve of some posters, claiming my Haunted Mansion.
It started this way:
20+ years ago,while planning a visit, my niece, Tina, then 2 1/2 yo, wanted to know about WDW.
I had some 8mm movies that I had bought on a previous trip.One of the films was the Haunted Mansion.
I had a projector, but no movie screen, so I projected it on my living room wall. Tina loved the HM movie and whenever she visited us she wanted to see Uncle Pete's ghosts on the wall.
When we finally got to WDW, all Tina wanted to do was to see her uncles ghosts.
But, don't worry.I have never minded sharing MY ghosts.

Mine will have to be divided into 3 categories:
Ride that belongs to my family overall: Spaceship Earth! It was one of my favorite attractions in Epcot as a child, and still is. Riding it reminds me of the trips I took with my family when I was little. DH loves it, too!
Ride belonging to my sister and I: Big Thunder. I'm a "thrill ride chicken," and finally summoned up the courage to try Big Thunder with my sister in 2004. Needless to say, I ended up having a great time. We rode it 3 times in a row that day!
Ride belonging to DH and I: Test Track and Soarin' are tied.
Soarin' to tower: We are ready for takeoff!

Yeah, um, we had claims on El Rio del Tiempo until a trio of birds flocked in.

(Okay, mainly it's to try to beat my best friend, which I did, once, never happen again, but don't tell him that.)
Of course you are Co-0wners with us! We do generously let our competition umm, I mean park-visiting friends enjoy the ride as much as they would like ... as long as we can get it in at least 3 times per trip.

Journey into Imagination and Spaceship Earth are now owned by Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Da Disney sorry to previous owners. Love these rides bring some many good memories!

Tuff one. After several trips as a family I would go by park:
Big Thunder @ MK - done it by day, by night, been stuck on it....great ride
Soarin' @ Epcot - DW influenced and could use some variations to the ride to mix it up/keep it fresh, but a very cool, original ride
Safari @ AK....well, because you almost feel like you are on a safari!
R&RC @ Studios - not alot ride-wise here, but this one is 45 seconds of crazy!!
Honorable mention - Summit Plummet - haven't been there in several trips but scary up top, exilirating-and bathing suit challenging-going down

Buzz Lightyear. We love to get to the MK for AM EMH and ride it over and over again while there's no wait.
Definitely not Swiss Family Treehouse. We have a small album of the ride board with about 20 photos from trips made by family members when the Tree House was closed. Coming back with a photo became a family tradition, because it was never open when one of us was down there.

Test Track. It quickly became my older two kids favorite as soon as they were 40" at 3 years old. I love it too. My youngest has now hit 40" and we'll be there soon, but returning home before the official TT opening of Dec 6. But, since it's "our" ride, I'm sure they'll put it in soft opening once they know we're coming . . . Hubby and I first rode it while we were dating when it was in soft opening. So, they really wanted it to be our ride. I'm sure they'll bring it back in time for us again!

Tea cup
I'm glad you all recognized that the Tea Cups belong to my family. We won the ride from the Mad Hatter in a Tea Cup Twirling contest about20 years ago. Our daughter has been groomed to take over the operation when we can't be the fastest spinner anymore. So everyone come by and ride next time you're in the park! You may want to stop by before lunch though. That saves us a lot on the janitorial bills!
There is just one moon and one golden sun. And a smile means friendship to everyone.
