27. Fly high in the sky on the Astro Orbitor (Magic Kingdom)

Astro Orbitor is a simple ride with barely a wait as the more popular newer additions to the Magic Kingdom. On this spinning ride, you will travel up and around (you can control yourself how high you want to fly) in your own personal spaceship. Take the ride both in the daytime (for the nice overviews of the park) and at night for the beautiful lights of Tomorrowland. It’s always fun to enjoy a laid-back ride after a few high intense adventures like Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain.

28. Head over to Liberty Square for a patriotic celebration at Hall of Presidents (Magic Kingdom)

Take a seat back and relax as you watch 43 presidents come to life. A beautiful theater modeled after Independence Hall in Philadelphia, lifelike animatronics, and a little history lesson all combine to make this show an entertaining and educational experience for any history buffs.

29. Fly over Neverland on Peter Pan’s Adventure (Magic Kingdom)

Board a magical pirate ship and set sail over the beautiful skies of London. A fun tribute to the classic movie filled with magical scenes including Pirate’s Cove and Mermaids Lagoon. The wait is a bit long as this is one of Magic Kingdom’s more popular rides, however, worth it for the nostalgia. Peter Pan’s Flight is a charming ride which makes you feel like you are in the Neverland fantasy world, which is the whole point of Disney World, right? A magical experience well worth the wait!

30. Twist, turn, spin, and drop on Primeval Whirl (Animal Kingdom)

Although this looks like a kiddie ride, it’s thrilling enough for adults too! Primeval Whirl is like a strange tilt a whirl/rollercoaster combo in which you sit in a spinning seat (you control the speed) as you drop and twist and turn along the coaster tracks. Surprisingly, one of the scariest rides at Disney  as you are spinning in every direction as you drop, sometimes sideways, sometimes backwards! A cute carnival theme, short wait times, and an overall fun, scary ride experience make this a must do when visiting Animal Kingdom.

31. Check out the unique wildlife at Animal Kingdom

Tip: Purchase more days to save more money. You really cannot see everything in Disney in a single day. The more days you buy, the more you save!

32. Enter the world of Jurassic Park (Island of Adventure)

Jurassic Park the ride at Univeral's Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida

This prehistoric water based ride is an absolute blast, even more so that the new Jurassic World movies reminded us why we love this timeless series. With animatronic dinosaurs, lush tropical landscaping, and a scary 84 foot drop at the end, you will want to experience this ride over and over again. A nice treat for fans of the franchise, not to mention a fun way to cool off!
