Ever fall asleep on a ride?

[RobWreck]

I fell asleep in The American Adventure. On the same vacation, I also fell asleep during a Cirque du Soleil-type show at Sea World.

I'll take that one step better... I've actually fallen asleep at Cirque du Soleil in Downtown Disney. Nearly front row seats no less... It was a combination of minimal sleep for a few nights before the trip and a hectic day that started with a 7 am flight out of NY (so you can imagine what time I had to get up to go to the airport) and ended with a late showing of Cirque. I vaguely remember watching some of the performers run up the side of a building and then fall off to some sort of trampoline, but I was nodding off faster than they could drop down.

My wife even poked me a few times, but I couldn't keep my eyes open...
Learned my lesson there... next time, stop for

This thread is so funny!

I've never actually fallen asleep on a ride or in an attraction but SSE is so relaxing to me. If I recall, there's a part during the ride that is just so peaceful and calming where your vehicle turns, goes backwards and tilts back slightly, and you see the stars above you. I always rest my head back, let my entire body relax, listen to Jeremy Irons' soothing voice and enjoy the moment! It's like I'm being cradled...just a really wonderful feeling.

Now if only the vehicle seats weren't so darned hard! It can hurt your back and head, so a little cushioning would REALLY make the ride a peaceful one! Maybe then I WOULD fall asleep!

I can't believe I haven't answered this thread.

I had never seen the American Adventure and my DH and I went one night. I promptly fell asleep and woke up just before the end. So I still have not seen the attraction!

Also - I fell asleep in the Terminator thing at Universal. Apparently, I can sleep during anything.

I have fallen asleep a number of times on Ellen's Universe of Energy. If we are at Epcot and I am ready for a nap my husband and I head over that direction. Once the attraction gets going, it is off to la-la land. Also, I have a favorite bench in MK for napping. It is close to the pin/watch/jewlry store on Main Street in one of the little alcoves. I put on my sunglasses and lean my head back for a short recharge.

Oh my. I must be a serious sleepyhead. In my defense, I'm a serious nightowl and NOT a morning person so obviously, WDW is a major schedule change for me.

SSE every time, even though I love it. I'm so glad it will be reopened for our trip so I can get my nap in.

On TTA, they once woke me to see if baby DD and I wanted to get off. I said no, we were riding while DH took the biggies on SM. I said he'd come find me if I overslept. When I got off, the CM told me I'd slept through 6rounds.

I didn't realize it was that shocking, but I've also slept through Country Bears, and taken decent naps (though not the entire thing) in Mickey's Philharmagic, ITTBAB, and HISTA.

[Von-Drake]

I have rested my eyes on two attractions:
- Hall of Presidents
- American Adventure

Never actually fallen asleep.

But, on the last day of an 8 day trip, and the 8th day was a very long one, including evening EMH at MK, when I was riding IASM for the 10th time this trip, I was very tempted!!

Sounds Dangerous
Hall of Presidents
American Adventure
France/Canada/China
3D movies
Splash Mountain (yes, really)

And somebody else posted that they've fallen asleep standing up on NYC Subways or on buses. I've done that too. Good times.

My husband always nods off in the American Adventure. We love the show - there is just something about the comfy seats and air conditioning!

I fell asleep in American Adventure, too! Mark's great aunt dragged us to it. Afterwards, she commented on how much it had changed, and that it used to be all about the presidents.

She was thinking of Hall of Presidents in MK, obviously LOL

My family and I were listening to music from the parks at dinner tonight and the soundtrack from Spaceship Earth came on. I immediately reacted by getting sleepy... I love the attraction, but on those long days in the middle of a trip it becomes a fantastic rest stop for a tired dad. Anyone else have a ride that works as a battery recharger?

as much as I love it, it knocks me out

Even though I may love an attraction, if you put me in the dark in a comfy seat with A/C, there's a good chance that I will fall asleep!

[FenwayGirl]

Ditto on Ellens Universe of Energy..

Also, American Adventure. The seats are way too comfortable!

[c&d]

My family kids me that the only reason I go on Spaceship Earth is to catch a short nap.

I find this post kinda funny - I never have fallen asleep on a ride, guess I'm too excited and I feel I've gotta keep my eye on my kids - who knows what their gonna do.
