    5. Peter Pan
    4. Space Mountain
    3. Haunted Mansion
    2. Pirates of the Caribbean
    1. Splash Mountain

    Splash Mountain
    Jungle Cruise

    I don't know if it counts, because it's not around all year, but I would probably include it's a small world holiday in there too. Of course, if you were to ask me the same question in another 24 hours, I would probably give you completely different answers. They're all just too good to pick.

    If I included yesterland:

    The Skyway
    and

    3 Star Tours
    2 Haunted Mansion
    1 Pirates of the Caribbean (but I preferred the non PC version sans Jack Sparrow)

    Back in the day, my list would have been:

    5 minetrain through nature's wonderland/people mover
    4 Country Bear Jamboree
    3 America Sings
    2 HM
    1 PotC

    Special mention to the original subs, america the beautiful, Adventures through Inner Space, Mission to Mars, the Tahitian Terrace, Golden Horshoe Revue, the burning cabin and cascade peak. Man, disneyland used to be so much more interesting when the focus was not on toons :-(

    2. 'it's a small world'
    3. Enchanted Tiki Room
    4. Pirates of the Caribean
    5. Adventure Thru Inner Space

    (with Peoplemover right up there within my top 6)

    Music plays a factor in my favorites, as you all see ... my top picks are very "musical" type attractions.
