I'd love to see the Snake River. And what's sad, I have a battle in Cheyenne that has been asking me for 10 years to go out there and visit him. He helps run Project Healing Waters, and I am passing up so much. Wyoming is majestic from all that I've seen and heard about from him.

Snake River is amazing. I live about 20 minutes north of it. It's a fairly majestic river. It's not huge in size but it has carved it's way through the earth. There are some very incredibly underrated and under-the-radar canyons in Idaho.

A beautiful place to visit.. Crater Lake if you've never seen it. Towards the southern part of Oregon. Just awesome!! Went there way back in the early nineties and crossed a few things off. Drove the avenue of the giants with the large redwoods in northern California

2 things. First is the Mediterranean, and specifically Greece and Rome. The other is I would like to take an extended tour of Texas - particularly everything I find interesting that I haven't already seen, and including everything from swamps and forests to small town BBQ joints, historical landmarks, notable events and celebrations, live music venues etc. I'm a Texan, and have been to a lot of the state, but I love the history and diversity of the state and feel like there is still so much more to experience.

Don't have one, but the African safari safari would be great. Then again I could also ride the Jungle Cruise again at Disneyland and be content.
The jungle cruise is a must, every time! It's a shame they shut down the submarine voyage and replaced it with Nemo. Now, if they ever mess with my haunted mansion and pirates of the Caribbean ride, I will boycott :)

Only spent a week seeing a tiny bit of Alaska... wanna go back for a couple months.

Grand Canyon was cool but I enjoyed Monument Valley more.

Dad said Greenland was mostly miserable but some of the sights in the Arctic cannot be described.

Plans for Prague in the future.

Had I the means I would have a vacation home in Cozumel.

Funny this got brought up. Had a co-worker just get back from Disneyland. I've never been to LA. I really really want to. We were talking about all the parks down there. Question is, which one is better? Six Flags at Magic Mountain or Disneyland? While Disneyland appears more themed to me, Six Flags appears to have a ton of roller coasters. This, of course, is just speculation I get from my limited researched knowledge.

I've been all over the world and have visited 47 states (Montana, South Dakota, and Hawaii remain), but I've never been to Australia and that is one place I really want to visit. I would love to spend at least a month touring the country.

Yeah, I've never been there, but I know a lot of people down under. I've never met an Aussie that I didn't like. Every Aussie I've met is extremely nice.

Forgot, I'd also like to add in Japan. I don't like sushi, tbh, but I think I'd still have a good time there. I've heard it's like looking at the future.

It is Disneyland and then the rest.

Disneyland captures your childhood, your imagination, if you're with a date - your romanticism. It has rides with thrill, rides with memories of childhood. Battered corndogs as large as your county fair, Star Wars, families, happiness.

Magic Mountain is a bunch of teenagers with raging hormones trying to get at their date. Fun rides, but forgettable. I guess it would be different for folks that didn't live 20 mins away from it.

Knotts is amazing, but at a fraction of which that is Disneyland. Still, Knotts is quaint, has its western charm, and is vastly more fun and rewarding than Six Flags.

Disneyland is the standard. It is nostalgia. It's our childhood put into life. I can never get enough. Haven't had season passes since 2009, but I chaperoned a trip with my son and some of his friends in 2015. I've been around 30-40 times, easily. It never, ever gets old. If you have a woman you are smitten over, it is the peak of happiness. If you are with your wife and children, it is heavenly. Even alone (I've never done this but I would), it would be pure magic, man.

I went to Disneyland during the Spring Breaks of 2004 and 2005 (4th and 5th grade respectively). I enjoyed it. The weather was nice, and it was fun. My favourite memory (along with the rollercoaster on the other side) was the Fantasia play they did by the water. THAT was cool.
