I have noticed like myself there are quite a few DLRR fans that really enjoy The Grand Circle(ish) Tour. What is your favorite way to ride the DLRR? Example what station do you prefer to get on, and what station to you prefer to get off, how many laps or do you even complete a lap, who do you enjoy riding with etc.?
DLRR is always special to me because it allows for a calm ride around the park being able to take in all the sites while taking a break and enjoying a snack and time with my family. First it was my parents and grandmother as I rode a small child and now it's my wife and kids. I could easily spend several laps on it if my wife and kids wouldn't protest. We often get on at Main Street Station and do a lap and then continue past the MSS to whatever land we decide we want our first ride to involve. ( often decided by what FP we pick up.)
But my ideal ride is probably getting a churro at dusk and them loading at the NOS station and doing a lap or 3 then exiting in TL station once the the sun is completely down for a ride on Space Mtn. Watching the park go from day to night and seeing the lights begin to twinkle hearing all the music while getting a bit of rest for tired feet just all pairs so nicely. You get to see the ROA in the day and then again in the early evening. Something about it at my current age and place life just feels right.
We went a couple of months back with friends of ours and even though they grew up in SD and Northern Cali. and had been to the parks from time to time growing up, they had never ridden the DLRR?!? They thought it was just a way to get from place to place and had no idea about the Grand Canyon or Primeval Worlds nor did they realize the view behind ROA.
I am curious what are some of your ideal ways to enjoy the DLRR? Or do you even care for it at all?
