Space Mountain
Part 1 of the Magic Kingdom Mountain Trifecta, this inter-galactic themed coaster is the perfect adventure for you. Board a futuristic spaceship in Space Mountain’s Starport to begin your journey into the vast unknown. In almost total darkness, whirl through the galaxy and find your inner space traveler!
Splash Mountain
Part 2 of the Magic Kingdom Mountain Trifecta, Splash Mountain is great for those hot and humid Florida days. This ride is themed off of Walt Disney’s “banned” movie, Song of the South. Embark on a journey to help Br’er Rabbit escape Br’er Fox and Br’er Bear to find his laughing place and enjoy some thrills along the way!
Thunder Mountain
Last, but certainly not least, part 3 of the Magic Kingdom Mountain Trifecta is Thunder Mountain. Board this runaway train in Frontierland as it travels through an old mining town in the wild, wild west! Enjoy fast turns, crazy ups and downs, and unexpected sights aboard the “Wildest Ride in the Wilderness!”.
Haunted Mansion
The Haunted Mansion is a dark-ride attraction in which you travel on a “doom-buggy” into this happily haunted manor. Taken on the tour by your own personal Ghost host, you travel through the mansion. If you enjoyed the tour, you are invited to stay as there are 999 happy haunts, but always room for one more! Oh, and be weary of those hitchhiking ghosts.
Tomorrowland Transit Authority: PeopleMover
Located in Tomorrowland, this attraction is the perfect way to see all of Tomorrowland from the Sky. The track is suspended about 15 feet above the ground and gives you a birds eye view of all Tomorrowland has to offer. It is the perfect way to take a break from walking, and if you’re lucky you might get a sneak peak into Space Mountain with the lights on!
Jungle Cruise
Board a sketchy “3 week” cruise with the best skippers around. They’ll take you to places you have never seen before — including the BACK SIDE OF WATER! Arriving back in port, you will have a stockpile of some of the worst dad jokes on the planet! Don’t forget to see what sales Uncle Sam is offering!
Carousel of Progress
The Carousel of Progress was first featured in the 1964 New York World’s Fair. Follow a family through multiple generations and observe the way technology and the American way of life has evolved. While this is not the most exciting attraction on this list, it is a must do because Walt Disney originally conceived the idea for this attraction. P.S. Look out for those hidden Mickeys!
Mickey’s PhilharMagic
Another show on the list is Mickey’s PhilharMagic. Located in Fantasyland, this is a 4-D attraction that features all of our favorite characters and songs. Join Donald Duck as he travels through the different movies in order to retrieve Mickey’s Sorcerer hat in time for the big show!
Peter Pan’s Flight
Embark on a flying pirate ship traveling over London and into Neverland. Help Peter Pan on his journey with the Darlings’ children and the Lost Boys to defeat the mean old Captain Hook. While you should probably get a FASTPASS for this ride, if you can wait, the queue is one the best parts of the ride because you travel through the Darling residence.
Pirates of the Caribbean
Last on the list, but certainly not least is Pirates of the Carribean. Another dark-ride, this boat adventure takes you through Dead Mans’ Cove, into a fight scene and into the town square. Along the way, look out for Captain Jack Sparrow — “WE WANT THE REDHEAD!”.
