19. I live about 20 minutes from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at WDW

well, 20 minutes if they'd let me drive right up to the ride entrance - 3 hours if you count waiting in line to get into the parking lot and then into the park and then walking to the ride and then waiting in line for the ride...

but I always say Pirates of the Care-ah-BE-an. If I'm not talking about the ride then I say ca-ribby-an.

I don't like that they updated it to include the movies. I like the movies but I liked my ride old-school. Haunted Mansion is the best ride anyway.
