Sleeping Happily Ever After

      You often hear people talking about using certain attractions throughout Disney World for "Nap Time". It's the time to get out of the blazing Florida sun, put up your feet and get in a few moments of zzzzzzz during a long day at the parks. Popular snoozing favorites include the Hall of President's, Ellen's Energy Adventure and Star Tours (Hey!....it rocks me to sleep andddd god knows my Vestibular System would not let me open my eyes).

      Although I don't condone napping in an attaction while experiencing it, I started to realize that I find certain rooms or areas of attraction extremely relaxing for some reason and dream about sleeping in it. Not napping. SLEEPing in it. Like 8 hours of blissful dreams.

Here are some of my favorites:

-The Grotto in Pirates of the Caribbean....specifically the little island on the left with the skeleton and the sweet little crabs on it. Something about the cool darkness, soft wind, rain sounds and the general musty smell make me want to cuddle up next to a dead pirate.

-The Oil Rig room at the very end of Maelstrom. We haven't hidden our love of this attraction very well, but this is the main reason I personally adore it. I dream about spending a night wrapped up under a faux down Norwegian quilt on top of that oil rig. I seem to be building a running theme here, but the cool dark night sea air just relaxes me. I anxiously await this part every ride and am always very disappointed when it ends so quickly. Sigh...

-The Ghost Hostess "Little Leota" crypt room at the end of the Haunted Mansion. I can't imagine a better resting place. Dark, with a cold breeze and a whispery lullaby of "Hurry Back...Hurry Backkkkkkkk".

-The American Prairie scene in Living with the Land. I can't pin point exactly what it is about this this one. It really captures the quietness of the country, at what feels like dusk with just a light rustling of small farm animals.   I specifically want to curl up in a rocking chair on the front porch of that yellow house. Too bad its not in Beulah.

-Theatre II of Ellen's Energy Adventure during the prehistoric broadcast from KNRG News Radio but before the film begins. Again its dark and cold, but I also find the dim light of the radio towers extremely soothing. You actually do have time for a short nap here during a ride through, but I'd also love to spend the night in a KNRG loop; However I'd need something a bit more comfortable than those pesky, yet amazing, ride vehicles. (NOTE: Sit left front when entering the ride vehicles for maximum KNRG exposure)

Sorry, We didn't have a photo of the room :(
