Something about the water and the monorail when it goes over it, the monorail station, and Matterhorn Mt. right there, has always been probably one of my favorite spots in all of the park. A runner up would be the French Market (outside of course). And maybe some areas on Pirate's Lair too. But I especially love the lagoon at night. I'll totally understand though if you have more than one I still feel theres more than one for me too, but the sub lagoon is definately the best amongst my runners up =)

Originally Posted By tapdancemom I love the hub, anytime day or night. I like to get an iced mocha and people watch during the day. I have arthritis and often sit and enjoy the view, maybe watch the parade while the family runs off and does several rides.

Originally Posted By friendofdd I tend to sit and people watch much more that go on attractions, so I have a lot of favorite spots. The one I use most has been walled off for months now. But, when it is available, I enjoy a table on the upper seating level at coke corner or on the porch of Plaza Pavilion in the same area. With that area being closed for so long now, I favor a bench or table on the west side of the Golden Horseshoe.

I agree, EmmaJayne, that is a nice and quiet area. >> I love the hub, anytime day or night << Whats that? >> Adventureland when the torches just light for the evening, and New Orleans Square when the gaslamps just begin flickering << Ooh, those are good too. Especially the NOS gaslamps flickering. Ahh, I remember them doing work to Carnation and or Coke Corner when my Dad and I were last there in June. But yeah, those are nice areas too. Love that waffle cone smell (or whatever it is) on Main Street.

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA I really like New Orleans Square -- when it's not crowded.

In the early 80s, I used to enjoy the eating area -- upper deck -- Hungry Bear Restaurant. But that would have been before Splash Mountain and Pooh, so it was much quieter.
Originally Posted By -PLP- I always enjoy New Orleans Square. Sitting by the railing upstairs at Hungry Bear is probably my favorite. And The Hub is also a Great place to enjoy some popcorn.
Originally Posted By distwins For me when I was younger, the sounds that meant Disneyland where back by the tea cups. Walking between the tea cups and Matterhorn still bring back childhood memories and will always be one of my favorite places in the park because of it.
Originally Posted By koolaidmom i love the little store by splash mountain that has the carrots hanging inside from the roof. it is charming.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Oh gosh, this is so hard because I have so many. sitting and enjoying the Horsedrawn Street Car and the Train go by in Town Square (maybe we'll see the Dapper Dans or the Marching Band!!!) Sitting in the Tiki Room Lanai enjoying a dole whip, particularly at night. Near the Plaza Pavillion when the swing band are on. When I was a kid, I used to love sitting outside the Plaza Gardens as MSEP went past. Anywhere in NOS is my fav, especially if there is some live entertainment. Enjoying the Big Thunder Trail (if quiet) at dusk. I don't love it as much as I used to, but at nigt I used to love the kinetics of the monorail, matterhorn, skyway, people mover, subs and autopia. Tomorrowland used to truly be the world on the move. I suppose this says, I love DL.
Originally Posted By MarilynMouse I love all of the areas, and everything is especially lovely at night when all of the lights are turned on and everything is colorful and bright <3
Originally Posted By dresswhites critter country. i really love this land. just so many details. i love to watch the river traffic from the hungry bear. i also like the kinectics sp? of the land. you have all the river traffic, splash, the train, and beehicles of winnie the pooh.
Originally Posted By JobyCA65 Pretty much everything mentioned above. In all the years I have been visiting the park, I have found something special about all the areas. And some areas work best for me in the evening. While some are especially nice during the late afternoon. I always thought the old Tomorrowland at night was an exciting place to be. Bouncing from Subs to Jets to Mars. Then to a leisurely ride on ATIS. Back over to Space Mountain. Spending some time taking in Circlevision, or a calming ride on Peoplemover. But there's also the Rivers of America at dusk. Dinner in NOS on a summer evening when the temperatures are just starting to break, moving from the warmth of the day to the awesome, temperate evenings of Southern California. The peaceful nature of Bear Country, or a leisurely ride on Mine Train through Nature's Wonderland in the Frontierland of old. And there's nothing like a trip on the Mark Twain, or the Steam Trains. Esp. at night. It's all good, and so hard to choose one.
