Aiprlanes rock! Airplane. I don't mind the security line. It's totally worth it to be able to shrink a 24 hour trip into 5 hours.

I like to try a train someday. (I think I do go on that Orlando International Airport Shuttle which makes train
Schoolbuses are annoying, but Resort Buses are amazing
(I hate that Whydam Bonnet creek is now charging to use the Disney Buses) :x Don't they realizie that I rather be on a DisneyWorld resort if they gonna force me to pay 20$ when I want to use there bus. My parents hate that)

Ugh- Maybe I"m just gonna have to force my parents to get me on there. If I'm there, they're paying. IT's there fault i have to stay at Bonnet Creek. I want another resort.

When I got to Disney for my future business, It's Sagortra Springs. And the bus! :P

Walking, bicycling, buses, and trains. IMO, taking the train seems safer than riding an airplane.

My childhood overlaped with the final years of the Pullman company( the mid sixties)- the company that staffed all of the passenger trains of America during the shank of the 20th Centurey: dining cars, sleeping compartments, observation cars. We rode them the length of the nation from DC to the Rocky Mountain and prarie states where our relatives were. The ONLY to travel. Not the cramped amtrack trains - with a seven-11 on wheels to get snacks- that we have now.

a chauffer-driven newell coach, or, lacking that, a 1993 Cadillac sedan de ville with cloth upholstery in good condition. or a 1993 Mercedes benz 300SD, as they had an especially cushy suspension which smothered all the bumps. or a 1970s citroen sm, they had the best ride of any car ever made.

When someone else is driving, I love car trips, as well as small single-engine planes (they don't go as fast, but you get to sit in the cockpit and there's no annoying poeple or screaming babies. I love having a dad who's a pilot!) I'm also a fan of trains, though I haven't really been on many. My dream is to one day ride an old fashioned steam train on which each carriage has its own private compartments... that'd be awesome :)

message in a bottle, I would say I prefer the old cruise liner but given the cost, I might rest with p and o for a bit.

My customized, suped-up electric scooter. Custom electronics and batteries make it go about 40 mph top speed, and 30 mph up relatively steep hills. Has a range of about 20 miles.

I also have a bunch of LiPo batteries that go under the deck of the scooter, so that the large ugly battery you see in the picture doesn't have to be there leaving the entire deck free for standing.

That said, most of the time, I walk around for the much needed exercise and use the bus for longer distances. But, the scooter is definitely my favorite mode of transport.


I am officially suffering from Scooter-Envy!

Cars. I press my face against the windows and admire everything around me.

Don't really have a favourite one.
Most of the times I either take buses to go to places or my father drives me to places.
I go on foot only if the places are near my house.

I can't ride a bike, but my father is trying to teach me how to drive. I'm still at the beginning, I can just move the car a little and drive very very slowly. I've only exercised in empty parking lots until now; I haven't been on a road with other cars yet.
