Surprisingly, I&#8217;ve never been in there, hehe. In Beast&#8217;s library, you can find out what character you&#8217;re most like. First, you get your picture taken and then you answer a few random questions. It turns out I&#8217;m most like Mulan. Pffft. Just because I&#8217;m Asian.

BWAH.<\/p>\n<p>We had fast passes to go on Tower of Terror but I just could not convince Ruby and Jason that a multiple drop thrill ride is fun. Hee. I&#8217;m always a little apprehensive before I get on the ride and I&#8217;m totally screaming and clutching at Rob for dear life during all the drop sequences but I just love it when it&#8217;s all over. I guess it&#8217;s the adrenaline kicking in.<\/p>\n<p>At that point, we headed out of the park and continued our Disney day by watching <i>Up<\/i> (my review is below &#8212; highly recommended).
