My Favorite Walt Disney World Rides & Attractions
As we head into the spring and summer months, we hear of more and more people booking their trips to Walt Disney World. Disney is one of my favorite places – I love the nice sunny weather, the movie themed rides, and the live entertainment. I am thinking of booking a trip there sometime this summer. Below I have listed a few of my favorite rides and attractions – what are your favorites?
My Top Walt Disney World Attractions
Tower of Terror at Hollywood Studios is one of my favorite rides. I love the fantastic special effects and that you never know when the elevator drops are coming! The drops vary in intensity each time (you never know what is coming) making the ride one of the park’s most thrilling!
I love the fact that the Aerosmith Rock n’ Roller coaster runs in the dark at amazingly fast speeds, all in the company of the music of Aerosmith!
Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom features a surprise special effect before the big drop at the end! Great tricks and turns the entire ride – well worth the very long wait!
I love how The Great Movie Ride features animatronics from all the classic films. Definitely a great time with fun special effects!Great acting too! Update: closed.
Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the classic can’t miss rides at Magic Kingdom. You really feel as if you are a pirate going through the elaborate sets and coming in contact with realistic looking figurines.
Loved the special effects and design of The Haunted Mansion ride at the Magic Kingdom. So much fun seeing realistic looking ghosts.
The Extreme Stunt Show at Hollywood Studios is definitely worth a stop – great live show with great tricks and special effects! One of the best live shows at any of the parks! Update: Closed.
The American Idol Experience is a great time, especially for fans of the TV show. It was fun to get to vote for your favorite singer and listen to judge’s feedback in a live setting – just like actually being at the show! Update: Closed.
Wow…the fireworks show at Magic Kingdom is nothing short of amazing. You will want to go back every night of your trip. It’s that good…
The safari ride at Animal Kingdom is a great way to see all the animals in the park and feel like you are on a real-life safari observing animals in their natural setting.
The Main Street Parade held each night at the Magic Kingdom is definitely a can’t-miss! Great themed, lit up floats add to the festive atmosphere.
Spaceship Earth is a cool dark ride which rotates around the inside of the iconic Epcot landmark. You will learn more about technology along this ride. At the end there are cool interactive features to play around with.
Other great Disney theme park rides:
Thunder Mountain Railroad – Great mountain themed rollercoaster at Magic Kingdom.
Kail River Rapids – Fun raft ride at Animal Kingdom that your whole party can enjoy together. Lots of drops, twists, turns, and big splashes!
